March 2020, I lost all my clients in three days, all my speaking engagements, training sessions and mystery shopping programmes had been cancelled. I went down like a brick, I had never felt so low and I couldn’t see how I was going to live, pay my rent and buy food for my two children. Being a single mum for twelve years, making sure that they were okay, had always been my priority, what was I going to do?
After many hours feeling sorry for myself, and getting lower and lower for days, I was in a deep hole and couldn’t see how to come out of it. Until I got an electric shock; I was watching my children lying next to me, and realising I had to take control back in my life for them, for everyone around me, and most of all for myself.
After my last Vlog about moving to Dubai several people asked me how did I manage to move forward and get out of my deep hole?
