The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
So many… I have wanted to give up countless times. I have overcome some pretty significant challenges over the past 5-6 years including physical injuries (including a serious back injury), a serious health diagnosis for one of my children, financial challenges and more.
I guess I have an inner drive to change how we view natural medicine as a society, and am deeply passionate about helping women heal so they can make the world a better place!
I also have some incredible people around me that encourage me, call out my BS, and help me remember why I do what I do.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
In terms of pros, I am in charge of my own calendar, which helps me to prioritise my health and my family’s health. I have the flexibility to be there for my kids when they need me. I also get to work towards my own goals and to meet other amazing female business owners. I feel a lot of satisfaction in what I do: the amazing collaborations that I get to be a part of and the personal growth that happens.
As for cons, it can be a struggle to feel inspired sometimes and to find the motivation to keep going when things are tough. It requires me to be very disciplined – managing finances when I am needed to work in the business and creating a strategy around consistent income. Being on social media all the time can be tough, as well as being the person that “does all the things”! Deciding what to delegate and outsource can be hard too.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I hope to be able to do this work until I am old and grey! I love natural health and believe that going back to nature and our roots is how we can heal the planet and its people.
My next goal is to create my online group coaching program so that I can support more women and grow a community. As my children get older, I am completing my studies to qualify as a Clinical Herbalist.
