Breaking Through Adversity
As a multiple business owner with over a decade of experience running businesses and supporting clients, I’ve learnt that business is like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs and we only ever share our successes. The Breaking Through Adversity episodes will include conversations and inspirational storied from business owners and people sharing their coping mechanisms and tips to overcome challenges faced. I’ll also have episodes sharing what I have learnt on my own journey of resilience and mental health battles to share and offer insights.

One of the most important lessons I have learned over the last 12 months is that other people’s opinions are irrelevant.
Every decision you make as an entrepreneur could be the best or worst decision ever. But either way it is part of your journey, and it does not define you. So, you have to overcome the fear of judgement to embrace a growth mindset.
In this episode I explore mindset around failure, and how we should use the lessons learnt to your benefit going forward rather than dwell and spiral into negative self-talk.
“Failure does not define you it refines you”- Zoe Goodchild
You’ll hear about:
01:20 – An update on my personal journey
03:00 – Resilience in the secret sauce to success
04:43 – Fear of being labelled a failure
06:12 – Let go of the fear of judgement

No challenge in your business or in your life is unsurmountable.
The way you perceive a situation can impact how you respond emotionally and in your behaviour. You are the product of your environment after all.
The law of attraction states that you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with, influencing your behaviours, attitudes, and values. In this episode I share with you my own experiences in facing negative experiences and turning them into growth opportunities, as well as the tools you can use to do the same.
“You can train your brain to reframe any narrative it is being told”- Zoe Goodchild
You’ll hear about:
01:42 - The impact of 5 closest people on you
03:20 - The impacts of vibration frequencies

09:43 – I’m no longer afraid of risks
11:00 – There is always a silver lining
