No Fence No Limits: Designing an Unconventional Life

We plan our futures in

permanent marker.

Life uses a red pen.

From childhood dreams to societal checklists, we're all handed a script for how life is supposed to go. But what happens when that script is ripped away – by fate, by biology, or by a crisis we didn’t expect?

Kelly Donougher always believed she’d be a mum. It wasn’t just expected – it was planned for and dreamed of. The ‘white picket fence’ was her destiny. Until her body decided otherwise.

Kelly’s dream collapsed, and she spiralled hard. The gruelling stages of grief, identity loss, and uncertainty ravaged her life. But it also came with an unsuspecting gift: a blank page.

Eight years later, Kelly stands firmly on the life she built from scratch – a life that defied the rules, broke the mould, and became more fulfilling than she ever imagined. A life by design.

No Fence, No Limits is a powerful, raw, and uplifting story of what happens when we stop living the lives we’re told to want – and start designing the lives we’re meant to live.
