Why is it that we must be taken to the very edge of asituation to wake up and realise we need to make a change, before it’s too late?

In this episode, I open up about two life-changing wake-upcalls - one that nearly ended my marriage and another that resulted in a trip in an ambulance.

I share the lessons these moments taught me about perspective, resilience, and the importance of consciously choosing how to move forward – because let’s face, most of the time we walk around on autopilot.

Also, what if we could have the clarity of thought to makechanges before it’s too late? That was my intention with this podcast ep. I’ll guide you through a powerful coaching exercise to help you reflect on your own work-life and set a new course for tomorrow or the next 5 years. Today, I amyour coach ❤️.

Summary:

💡 How my partner’s health scare stopped us from separating.

💡The shock of a paramedic telling you they suspect you are having or have had a heart attack. Spoiler alert: the cause was laughter. I share what happened next and the learnings.

💡A step-by-step coaching exercise to help you assess your work-life and identify changes that you will feel motivated to make, without having to go to worst case scenario.

Here’s to your shining!
