Show Notes
In this solo episode, I’m sharing three moments that changed my life, business and career forever.
This is a really honest and open conversation where I speak from the heart about some of the pivotal moments that, looking back, completely changed the direction my life was taking.
The first happened when I was just 21 and was diagnosed with a chronic illness that left me bedridden for around a year. I talk about my journey back to health, how I immersed myself in holistic wellness and natural healing, and how this incredibly difficult chapter ultimately helped me understand what I felt my soul’s purpose was. It led me to train, begin teaching and eventually start my own wellness business.
I then take you back to the early days of my career, when I was teaching yoga and relaxation and incorporating facial massage into my work. This eventually led me to discover Face Yoga and become a Face Yoga teacher, including speaking about it at my first national event. At the time, Face Yoga was almost completely unknown and some people even found the idea funny! But something inside me knew to keep going. I stayed consistent, continued teaching and sharing these natural facial exercises and techniques, and slowly began building what would eventually become the Face Yoga Expert brand.
My third story takes us to the end of 2019, when I made the decision to move my business from predominantly in-person work to online.
What makes this story particularly interesting is that at the time I had a very strong intuitive feeling that something big was going to happen in the world. I felt that it was connected to health, although I had absolutely no idea what it would be. At the same time, my intuition was strongly telling me to take my Face Yoga business online.
Of course, only a few months later, the world changed with the Covid lockdowns.
Looking back, I’m so grateful I listened to that intuition. Moving my business online before everything changed meant I was already in a position to reach and support people around the world from home, and it became a hugely important turning point for my business from 2020 onwards.
Throughout this episode, I reflect on intuition, consistency, trusting the path that feels right for you and how sometimes the moments that initially feel like challenges or unexpected changes can ultimately lead us exactly where we need to go.
