I was working 12 hour days. I was studying and working. I just almost got hooked on that achievement, hit the next milestone." - Chloe Bisson "I was the only one of my friends that didn't go to university, I just thought, all my friends are having a great time at uni. They're doing great. I can't afford uni. I've got a job and I'm now failing at that." - Chloe Bisson "I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression because I was so unwell. My mom took me to the doctor. Now I know she knew it, but I didn't realize because I was so stubborn." - Chloe Bisson "I was so fearful. Then in the end, the doctor said, Chloe, you need to get out of the house. You need to go to the gym. Again, there was a gym in the block just next door, so I was like, fine." - Chloe Bisson "I love to be around people that say it to me how it is. I'm that person that's got lipstick on my teeth and I've spoken on stage for the whole day and then somebody, I checked the toilet, I'm like, why did no one tell me?" - Chloe Bisson HOST BIO Toni's journey defies the norm.
