The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
The biggest challenge for me as I have launched Inner Brilliance and run it and grown it is my fear and self doubt. Progress in the beginning was very slow because of the anxieties which have held me back and the constant need to extend myself outside of my normal comfort zone.
I have had a history of living with PTSD which homeopathy, and later Spinal Energetics have helped me with immensely. Nonetheless, being able to step out, to be seen, to offer something unique into the world as an extension of who I am has been a vulnerable experience, particularly when it comes to Instagram and social media networking! I have never been the one to say “look at me, look at what I can do”. But the rewards and the learning from everything that I have achieved have been incredibly enriching.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
I absolutely love the freedom and flexibility that running my own business is able to give to me. I am able to pick and choose my own hours, and still be available to my children as much as I possibly can. I can keep them home when they are sick, if needed, and manage my client schedule around school holidays and other time with them.
The con is that it is definitely a constant juggle, and an added layer of complexity to life! Especially in managing my own responses to my business as it naturally ebbs and flows in terms of clients. My business model in particular is prone to that because as people get well, they tend to need you a lot less! I love seeing the health journey of my clients, and I love seeing their transformation and their confidence in using homeopathic medicines at home increase – that’s what keeps me going! It’s always bitter-sweet when a client needs to finish up as they are feeling so well!
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I have recently become trained in a new modality – Spinal Energetics. I am so excited about this and it is such a beautiful modality to practise! I am really looking forward to working with more women and mothers in this way. I love seeing the tangible results that people get after a few treatments.
