Welcome…
Life can be tough, and I’m not sure it’s about being “tougher” per se. We’re all going to navigate life’s highs and lows, and if we allow, they give us an opportunity to learn about ourselves and grow because of them. I aim to inspire others as they navigate life’s inevitable challenges. We cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we choose to respond, and rise up because of those challenges. Rumi famously said “the wound is the place where the light gets in”, and if we allow, the toughest experiences can provide us with the opportunity to let the light in, and pursue richer, more fulfilling lives.
When I was 36 years old my husband died of Blood Cancer. At the time he was diagnosed we had a four month old daughter, I was suffering from postnatal depression, I was scheduled for major corrective surgery in a few days and I was running a full time PR business. Less than a year later he was gone. Prior to this I’d navigated bouts of severe bullying, redundancy, and chronic health problems of my own. I’ve tackled marathons and triathlons, been a competitive body builder, and I’ve started up, and grown a successful PR company in the midst of a recession among numerous other challenges. Along the way I’ve learned more than a thing or two about overcoming adversity, navigating uncertainty, and creating a mindset that ensured no matter the challenge, or emotional upheaval - I would find a way to not only survive but to thrive again.
