As this is the first post, let’s start at the beginning? Why have I been motivated to write this blog?
For a long time now, many people have told me how “strong” I am, that it’s amazing how I’ve coped with all the challenges I’ve had, that I should write a book etc. And thinking about these comments has motivated me to write, in the hope that other women in similar postions can be inspired.
So what have these challenges been?
In a nutshell; living and working in a foreign country with no familynearby, marrying a man who virtually led me to financial ruin, being made redundant whilst pregnant with my first child, divorcing my husband in order that my kids and I wouldn’t end up on the streets, bringing up the children on my own with no financial contribution from their father, all the while building up a successful company, becoming a Small Business Coach, a Law of Attraction Specialist and coming out of the whole experience feeling happy, positive, grateful and fulfilled.
As you can imagine, my journey has been intense, with lots of ups and downs. I have a lot to talk about from three perspectives - as a business person, as an individual and as a mother.
I am a very open and direct person, perhaps that is why I feel so at home here in Spain. I intend that my posts reflect this side of my personality and I’m sure there will be posts that, apart from being inpiring will be rather provocative. The more debate we can create here the better. I’d like this blog to be a space where working mothers can really express themselves, express who they are and be free of any shackles that they feel society imposes on them.
I look forward to interacting with you.
