"Having immersed myself in motherhood for many years, I found myself not only ‘out of the market’, but also ‘out of confidence’. It’s the challenging place many women find themselves in as their children begin to spread their wings and step out on their own journeys.
Often you’ve put your career aside to nurture your kids and finding your way back into a meaningful work life can be quite a challenge. I found myself filled with doubt and uncertainty wondering how I was going to ‘re-invent’ myself?
Covid has brought much sadness, anxiety and uncertainty, but it also brought perspective. For this - and to The Strongest Story Course - I say thank you for reminding me of who I am and my most natural strengths.
I realised afresh that I am indeed an influencer with a passion for creating new things, striving for excellence and challenging people to move out their comfort zones.
With this realization came the courage to once gain set my entrepreneurial spirit free!
Enjoying a new found confidence, I helped birth HORTICULTURE HUB https://www.facebook.com/horticulturehubza, an online business to business market place for the horticulture industry.
When we founded the business we committed to leaving the world a better place than we found it and contribute a fixed percentage of all our purchases towards horticultural projects in disadvantaged areas. Lavender Hill is one such project where we’re involved in community vegetable gardens and beautification of the area.
In addition to this I have the privilege of being able to link needs in the community with available resources and use my business influence to facilitate the process.
I’m so thankful for the incredible time I got to spend with my girls over the years, I’ve always encouraged them to believe in themselves and this was one of my toughest motherhood tests – learning once again to believe in myself and ‘to walk the talk!’
Hopefully watching their mom step out, engage with a world in need and give it my best shot at making a positive difference in the lives around me, will give them the courage to do the same!
For the past few weeks I’ve sensed such a hopelessness amongst people and I feel so compelled to encourage people never to lose Hope. I feel eternally grateful for new opportunities, new learning and a new fresh day, filled with Hope. I encourage you to be brave, be strong, be fearless! Opportunities multiply as they are seized!"
PS. Thank you Debs & Jacqs for the incredible gift you’ve given me, the Strongest Story course and your authenticity presenting it changed my life forever!
