Remember this - You are NOT alone...
A bit of my background story:
My shine story really began with losing two younger siblings on the same day, in a boat accident over 2 decades ago. That traumatising experience affected me deeply. Realising my sisters could no longer achieve their dreams because their lives had been cut short, I decided that I would vicariously make their lives count, by making MY life, count. And so, began my journey to finding my purpose.
However, between making that decision and aligning myself with my purpose, there lay a long, dreary, lonely road.
You see, I too once faced frustration and confusion in pursuing my corporate career, caring for a young family and building my own business, especially with a highly demanding day job as a corporate lawyer and compliance professional.
Like most of us, I got caught in a roller coaster of going through the daily motions without really enjoying life, fulfilling my calling or living out my purpose. It was always one step forward then three steps backwards as exhaustion, sleep deprivation and overwhelm would take over. ... I was DEPRESSED because I felt I had nothing SPECIAL to show for my nearly 5 decades on earth.
I was literally DYING from the pressure that I felt to leave my footprints in the sands of time!
After years of frustration, self-doubt and dissatisfaction with the direction my life was headed, I got a wake-up call when one morning I collapsed on my kitchen floor, passed out cold from exhaustion and stress, and woke up - to the scare of a brain tumor.
I was able then to get off the treadmill of life, take a precious few days off work, and, while laying on my back in bed recuperating, THAT'S when I did some deep thinking and took some deep decisions. The decisions that I took over those two days led to an interesting chain of events. From writing my award nominated book "Prison Break" in just 64 days, to having the most amazing book launch at which I shamelessly celebrated myself.
Since then, I have grown – in courage, in confidence and in clarity. I’ve found my Shine Essence. I’ve found the gifts and the abilities I need to fulfill my purpose and calling and I am now using them - unapologetically. I've been featured on TV, radio and print media sharing my powerful message and gathering MOMENTUM, and proudly building a MOVEMENT, while serving those I now know I’m called to serve.
I'm NOW building, managing, and growing my business, alongside a high-powered corporate career.
YES, I escaped my mental prison! I broke away from LIMITATION and I’m now boldly, PASSIONATELY, operating in LIBERATION.
My own SHINE is now causing a ripple in the lives of others. YOU too can do the same!
That's why I'm so grateful to be able to help others - women and men like YOU, who want more with their current lives, and are seeking to discover fulfilling and meaningful alternatives, focused around their passion, their gifts and their callings which many of them may never have considered.
I equip them with the coaching, tools and strategies they need to break out of their prisons of limitation, so they can live in abundance, expressing their fullest potentials and making the change they were born to make in this world.
I do this because I believe that EVERY LIFE COUNTS, and that we all carry the torch of greatness in our souls. For many of us though, the fire soon dies and the light dims in the course of the many pressures of life.
That’s where I come in, to REMIND YOU of who YOU really are, and what it means to SHINE.
What Does It Mean To SHINE?
To SHINE is for each one of us to esteem ourselves highly enough, to turn on our inner light, be guided strictly by our own inner glow, and then reach outwards - to operate at the highest level of our brilliance, every day, in every way.
And I use the S.H.I.N.E to help people, (S)TART, (H)ARNESS, (I)DENTIFY, (N)ETWORK and (E)XPRESS their brilliance.
This is my story.
What’s yours?
And how are you using YOUR STORY to impact your world?
