Who We Are

RetroMental started as a personal journey and became a movement. I'm Tonie Sims — navigating my own mental health story and turning it into content that meets people where they actually are. No toxic positivity. No scripted answers. Just real talk.

My toolkit? Lived experience, a whole lot of reading, and real conversations with real people who are somewhere on the Survive → Strive → Thrive spectrum — just like you.

"Survive to Strive and Thrive: Empowering Your Mental Health Journey."

Here we are all about sharing, breaking barriers, and lifting each other up. Let us make a difference together.

Survive · Strive · Thrive

Phase 01

Survive

The hardest phase. Getting through the dark when you cannot see the other side. You are still here — that is everything.

Phase 02

Strive

You made it through. Now you are building, learning, growing, healing in real time. The work is happening.

Phase 03

Thrive

You have done the work. Now you live in it — full expression, purpose, peace. This is what we were working toward.

Connect
