In this episode I want to share with you a story about my Auntie Nellie. Her life’s path may have been chosen for her but she lived it with positivity and sunshine.

I want to tell you about how she went from being a Convent Nun to driving a pimped up Ford Escort!

She certainly sowed the seeds of greatness for me, and even today her legacy lives on in the younger generations of our family.

You’ll soon hear how having trust in the universe/faith/belief can mean that “life is happening for you, not against you” as the wonderful Oprah says. Enjoy!

And I hope Auntie Nellie helps you to find a parking space or two :)

In this episode, I talk about a time when I was scared. I'm not talking about being afraid of heights or being terrified by a horror movie. I’m referring to how a new and exciting business opportunity led to knots in my stomach. How my loud inner chatter was there knocking my confidence and making me feel apprehensive about stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to tell you how I turned this limiting feeling around and kept my courage through it. Maybe it will inspire you to do the same when faced with new opportunities in life.

Join me and Maria Frances Marinay, Co Founder of beige. social, a social media agency helping conscious brands build strong, engaged communities online. Born in the Philippines, Maria's entrepreneurial spirit started young when she created a chocolate business with her hard working mum. Not a fan of being in the limelight selling, Maria's introverted nature led her to a love of social media. Hear all about her journey, how she overcame the hardships of visa challenges, burnout and anxiety but always had her mums voice in the background encouraging her. It really demonstrates the legacy thinking of resilience and courage that she inherited from her hard working Filipino mum. A wonderful, touching story I think you'll agree.

Join me and Sera Murphy, known as The ReOutfitter, a personal fashion stylist with sustainability at the heart of her business. Listen to how she went from fun fashion swaps with friends to starting a business that impacts positively on people and the planet - a powerful combination. Sera is truly inspiring with her passion for slow fashion. We talk about her journey into entrepreneurship as well as the challenges she faced during motherhood and how this experience has given her strength to run her own business.
I love how we both work with helping people be their most authentic self - I focus on the inside, Sera the outside. By understanding yourself more, and your style, you'll be able to make much more sustainable choices. So if 'sustainable fashion' scares or confuses you, or if like me you dislike shopping, you'll be inspired to hire a stylist after listening to this episode (Sera is offering a discount to my Tribe so look out for that!). Enjoy and happy shopping!
