I used to run in shame, scared of the<br />
unknown, scared of the ‘what if’s’ and the<br />
shame of judgement and rejection, am I even<br />
good enough? This shame held me prisoner<br />
in a space of frustration, at times depression,<br />
and the overwhelming feeling of<br />
hopelessness.<br />
I clearly remember one night laying in my<br />
bed, my body wracked with sobs desperately<br />
questioning the silence, ‘Why me, why can’t I<br />
achieve my dreams’. Have you ever been<br />
there?<br />

We each have that pivotal moment in life and<br />
in business, where the decisions we make<br />
challenge the status quo. When we listen to<br />
your own inner voice, our gut, and take a stepin<br />
faith towards achieving our dream. Many will<br />
tell you what and how it should be done, or<br />
that you shouldn’t do it at all. When all is said<br />
and done, you have two choices, let the<br />
doubters rule the day, or stand and be ready to<br />
face the challenge, show courage, be brave and<br />
tell yourself ‘Who Am I Not to Live My Life<br />
Purpose’? I’d found my brave the day I started<br />
to believe in me!<br />
Five years after the dream of having my own<br />
business was born, I am a braver, wiser,<br />
stronger and have a near-unshakeable belief in<br />
myself. I say, ‘near unshakeable’ because there<br />
are days when I allow the doubt, the negative<br />
talk and the words of those who challenge me,<br />
to creep into my inner being. But thanks to 5<br />
years of being brave in business, being willing<br />
to face the challenges head-on and find a way<br />
around them, what once stopped me now<br />
propels me forward headfirst towards my<br />
dreams. N O M A D I C | 2 4
