How are you feeling today?

Amazing. I’m a multi-passionate serial entrepreneur living a nomadic life for the past 11 years. I travelled to 40+ countries (meeting the man of my dreams in one of them), and worked on four continents as a teacher-director, postpartum doula, paediatric sleep consultant, executive VA, and a CNBC empowerment coach.

I’m honestly feeling great and living an extraordinary life, despite not having what I want the most.

What are you most proud of?

My ability to bounce back during adversity. I’m sure my nomadic lifestyle is a big contributor to this.

What is your biggest learning so far in life?

Walk your own path. Figure out what lights you up and then do more of that. Like Steve Jobs said : “Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your inner voice.”

What are your hopes for the future?

Very bright. I have created a life that I truly love. I’m working only a couple of days a week, only doing things that make me happy, moving countries every couple of months, and discovering new cultures and languages. I have an amazing husband and together we have big plans for our future together!

What would you tell your younger self?

Stop caring what other people (might!) think of you. Most people don’t anyway, they’re really busy, obsessed even, thinking about themselves. Be honest, be authentic and life will flow much easier for you.

When or where are you happiest?

When I’m in nature, always.

What would you like to say to wider society?

IVF doesn’t always work. Many (just like me) spends tens of thousands of dollars, do all the diets, supplements, and acupuncture, and still don’t walk away with a baby.
