Please share a significant moment or decision that played a significant role in your success? It was 2021 and I had lived for 3 years on anti depressants and woke up everyday with this dark cloud that never seemed to lift. I got tired of being tired.That is/was not me as I am built to larger than life. I stood up enrolled in riding school, got off the meds under the doctors guidance, showed up for my career and my life. I mean really showing up, moved out of an unhealthy marriage. It was painful, gruelling and is sometimes still is but but such is a journey of redefinition. It was the best decision yet.
How do you navigate work-life balance and maintain your well-being amidst the success? I have not mastered work-life balance not by a long short. I imagine all I need to do is put in different buckets e.g. family, work, business, riding..dating (🤣🤣 try dating in your 40s.. it’s a whole job) and I shuffle the buckets around, according to how much energy I have at that time and the resources I need to allocate. Its life’s musical chairs.
What advice would you give to aspiring women on a similar journey or who dream of the same kind of success? Pray, Plan,Pursue.
Pray – as a means of and a place where you can be totally vulnerable; to cry, to ask, to say thank you.
In the face of setbacks, how do you stay resilient and continue to thrive in your journey?Prayer and a determination that hell will freeze over before I fight the ‘demons’ I have fought in the past. It can only get better.
