My husband and I went on a once in a lifetime holiday, a Caribbean cruise for 6 weeks which we absolutely loved, when we got home, my husband returned to work but all I could think was, I want to change my life. I want more of this and less time making money for other people by being chained to a desk for 8 hours a day. Looking in, most people would say I’ve got it made, I work from home, I’m practically my own boss due to my expertise and I make a great salary.

I genuinely enjoy working, I know that a lot of my self esteem comes from achievement and so simply having money is not the answer for me, winning the lottery would not make me happy.

One particular day at the beginning of April, I happened upon a blog that interested me enough to click the button, I gave away my email address and started watching the Launch You videos of Stuart. I felt like he was talking directly to me, as I continued watching, I became more and more invested and so I continued clicking. I’ll be perfectly honestly, I haven’t invested in any kind of business training for a long time as I’m considered an expert in my field but my god, this felt so good.

After speaking with one of the mentors, I took a week to consider my learning style so I could determine which level of mentoring I needed and then I took the plunge and opted for the Accelerate program.

I’m sure it will be one of the best decisions I have ever made. On every call  I have received such enthusiasm and support that it has gave  me the confidence to create my brand within 5 weeks of starting the program.

The story behind my brand is very personal and it’s been inside me for a very long time.

Years ago I saw something on social media or in a magazine that asked if you were an Orchid or a Dandelion, the inference being do you need perfect surroundings to survive or can you grow and thrive anywhere.

I am a Dandelion, through and through. I had an awful childhood, truly horrible but I have never let that stand in my way of achieving anything. I’m sure some of that trauma has made me desperate for recognition which has driven me to strive to be the best. Whilst I hate the trauma, I love the result and so I’ve spend many years of my life encouraging friends and family not to be victims of the their past trauma and encouraged them to be the best they can be.

Now, I’m 47 years old, the majority of my friends are experiencing Menopause which is honestly more trauma but it’s also a time of change. This is particularly evident in the workplace where we our once thriving careers are in jeopardy thanks to menopause symptoms.

So it is my mission to change workplaces and support our kick ass menopausal women
