Paula Day is a highly-skilled business expert and trusted advisor with a wealth of experience.
With 20 years in the field, 18 spent working on large scale infrastructure projects in business advisory roles for senior leaders, CEOs, and Government Officials, she has a wealth of knowledge to draw from.
Holding a bachelor’s degree in Business Accounting and a CPA certification, she quickly rose to the top of the corporate ladder and mastered the skills needed for successful large scale operations.
Additionally, she is a Master NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Social Media Expert, and Personal Stylist, bringing a unique and holistic approach to her coaching and consulting business.
Paula's passion lies in supporting driven beauty business owners to master their businesses and grow in a way that aligns with their values. With her experience and expertise, she offers the kind of advice and support usually only available to larger organizations.
Paula’s definition of resilience is our ability to control our emotions, when we become triggered or stressed when the bigger events come in life that can take our life on a turn.
It is our ability to take one step forward every day, to believe n ourselves and to manage our stress levels.
Paula started her career as an accountant, in her career she was exposed to amazing leadership programs and coaches.
Then Paula had a baby boy who had become disabled, and was preparing to be wheel chair bound. Paula had to make a choice, was she going to focus on earning more money to support the care and services that her son required? Or was she going to stay at home to look after her son? Luckily her dad stepped in and retired at age 53 to help out. This allowed Paula to climb the corporate ladder. He vision began to come true, she had an amazing office, view and team. But she was missing her kids and wasn’t seeing them as much as she wanted.
Paula decided she had to make a change, she began to listen to podcasts and was inspired to start a t-shirt business. It took off on Amazon and she began to make more money doing less, amazing! She began to hire a team and she grew the business.
But Paula’s relationship broke down and overnight, all her accounts had changed and she had put the t-shirt business in her husband’s name and she lost everything. She moved back in with her parents, and went through the painful process of separating her life from her now ex-husband. After 7 months of legal battle, she decided to stop the fight, and she chose to move forward with love instead. Paula realised she had leadership and coaching skills, and she decided to train as a NLP practitioner which really helped her in her healing.
Paula learned that when we have a goal, we need to believe in ourselves to make it happen. We attract what we think about, and we need to take responsibility for our part in that. Paula’s lowest point was when she was surrounded by boxes in her parents house, adjusting to seeing her kids only 50% of the time. Going through this is what birthed her coaching program, it just poured out of her. Could it be possible that the adversities that we go through, are teaching us who we need to be, to have what we really want in our lives?
But if we caught up with stress and rigidity, we can lose these moments and gifts and the lessons then are there to teach us. When we can overcome this with a flexible mindset, we can elevate ourselves to be greater than our obstacles, our negativity and our fears.
Paula learned that you can take everything away, and we are still here and we are still ok. We can rebuild from loss and that realisation is what took the fear away for Paula.
Paula’s tips:
- Take time on your own after a breakup to reflect.
- Take responsibility for your part and ask yourself how can I show up differently moving forward in my life?
- Be open to love, put your phone down, be more present when you walk down the street.

Ihsan Tuncel is as authentic as you can get. His own life story has led him to become an amazing health and fitness coach.
He says “healthy living is my passion, how did I get here? I just wanted to feel amazing! Twenty years ago my health was not ideal. I was experiencing dozens of minor symptoms which were gradually getting worse. I knew deep down that I had to make some changes. That’s exactly what I did, and now I am experiencing the best health ever. I want to improve the lives of as many people as possible.”
Ihsan’s approach is to keep health and fitness simple and fun and to help his clients to identify their authentic selves too. He says “When you know “who you are”, it’s easier to know what you need.”
What are your optimal dietary requirements?
What, when, and how should you be eating?
How much exercise, movement and rest does your body require?
What are your movement and rehabilitation requirements?
What are your core values and what do you stand for?
What are your mental, spiritual and emotional needs?
These are some of the vital questions that Ihsan will ask his clients, that act as a compass and guide for him to assist you to get aligned with your path, and reach your true potential.
What causes stress, and what can we do about it?
In this interview, I chat with Ihsan about what causes stress, and together we discuss topics that are often not thought of or dismissed.
Stress is a response that is important, it keeps us out of danger and alive. This is why it is our most dominant program, over rest and repair. Ihsan and I have both noticed that in our personal experience and also when treating clients, we want to get to the bottom of what is causing stress for them, and it is a unique and individual experience.
Examples include: a toxic environment or relationships, medications, accidents, trauma, grief and loss, illness, and pain. Drinking too much coffee, poor diet, and a lack of exercise, these factors are all more obvious causes of stress.
The less obvious factors and experiences that can be causing stress can be very emotional.
When we are tired, stressed, and anxious we tend to overthink the future, and become stuck in the past, living on autopilot. This impacts our ability to be at our best, at home, at work, and within our relationships.
It is a mindset - and when you are stressed, tired, and feel disengaged, you may feel there is no way out.
HOW OUR BELIEFS CAN BE IN CONFLICT WITH OUR GOALS
Have you ever noticed that having a goal is not enough to make it happen? What we believe about ourselves, and what can be possible is what matters.
When we are stressed, we will focus more on the negative, we will over-worry, and we are more rigid, unhappy, and unwell. We squeeze out the fun and joy in what we are doing, we overthink and get stuck in our heads in the past or future. When we are stressed, we disconnect, we are unkind, we are frustrated, and we cannot perform at our best.
When we are having more fun, and when we are believing in ourselves, we can make things happen. We are more flexible in our minds, we are solution-focused, we connect more, and we optimise repair because we are less stressed.
It feels like a push/pull, like when you really want something, but you are too scared to go for it. An inner resistance that builds and builds and becomes background stress that lingers. When you feel like this, it is a time when you must ask yourself: Do you believe you can make it happen? And do you believe that you deserve it?
This ‘inner conflict’ sends a message from our brain out to our biochemistry to freeze, flight, or fight. This inner conflict can be the very source of pain in the body, disease, anxiety, depression, and inflammation. It is not just the consumption of unhealthy food and a lack of exercise that can cause stress. It is also how we are feeling about ourselves, and our belief in making things happen in our lives.
We each have individual beliefs and experiences that become programs in our lives. Our individual thinking, feelings, and beliefs contribute to our reactions, how happy and healthy we will be, and how well we can promote repair in our minds and bodies.
They affect how we show up in our lives, the choices we make, and how we back ourselves when the going gets tough. How we will react when we must navigate change, and when we feel like we want to give up.
For some of us, stresses or change can be from an experience of a lack of money, feeling powerless, out of control, going through a divorce, a break-up, or a change in job that will totally blow our circuits.
Here is an example of beliefs and how they can mirror in our actions:
BELIEFS THAT CAN PROVOKE A LIFE-OR-DEATH STRESS RESPONSE
LIFE OR DEATH BELIEFS THAT PROVOKE A STRESS RESPONSE AND PERCEPTION OF THREAT
BELIEF BEHAVIOUR
Belief that I am not successful Will work overtime without an off button
Belief that I am not lovable You find it hard to receive love and support
Belief I am not beautiful or sexy You find it hard to put yourself out there
to date or meet people
Belief that peoples aren’t trustworthy You find it hard to receive help
Belief that you will be let down You have become overly self-sufficient
If how we think and feel is so connected to the biochemistry of our bodies and the stress response, there is a way to promote repair and growth pathways instead that can help destress us, allowing us to feel more creative, solution-focused, adaptable, and flexible.
From this elevated mindset, we can see our situation with fresh eyes and from a new perspective, and ultimately find the courage to change our minds about what we are believing about ourselves, and what can be possible for us.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
The truth is right now you have no idea how adaptable you are. When we Bend Like Bamboo, we are anchored just like a Bamboo tree. When we discover our inner anchor, this allows us to be more flexible and resilient.
We can let go of rigidity and stress, we become more flexible. Flexibility in our mindset impacts everything that matters, our body’s ability to repair, how happy and resilient we are, and how connected we can be. Anchored and flexible, we can change our minds about old stories, we can let go of what is old and redundant, and re-imagine what can be possible in our minds, bodies, and lives.
When we are flexible, we are more able to adapt and see our situations with fresh eyes, a higher perspective, we can think in new and innovative directions. Anchored and flexible, when the wind comes in life, we are prepared, we believe in our ability and what can be possible. As resilience builds up, we can lean into uncertainty with confidence, getting out of our comfort zone, where we will grow. This is the best environment to maximise performance and the body’s ability to repair.
It is an elevated mindset, that is more malleable and adaptable. Where we can access more elevated emotions such as joy, compassion, forgiveness, and courage. Letting go of lower and denser emotions such as guilt, shame, anger, and worry. When we are in this more flexible state, we are more adaptable. We can optimise creativity, performance, and our wellbeing.

Jeff specialises in connecting & engaging talented career-minded professionals across Australia.
Founder of Hex Talent, a business specialising in talent exchange, and career engagement. Hex Talent is not your average recruitment company, Jeff’s vision is to disrupt the industry, nourishing his talent while offering better opportunities for corporates.
Hex comm is his new company and wellbeing app, that connects talent in all stages of their career, supporting and nourishing them with access to a holistic wellness platform. His app gives his community access to content and specialists to optimise and elevate their mindset and performance.
“It's taken me 37 years to reach a point where I feel I'm well aligned to delivering my life's purpose! I've followed a non-linear career path to get here. Started out chasing a professional sporting career, then zigging and zagging through multiple roles and industry sectors.
I was always open to change. I even traveled the world as a professional singer for 10 years. It was through the insights, discoveries, and happy accidents that brought me to today.” says Jeff.
I think Jeff is so interesting. Jeff specialises in connecting and engaging talented career-minded professionals across Australia. His vision is to nourish his talent while offering better opportunities for corporates, which is how his second company Hex comm was birthed. A company and wellbeing app that connects talent in all stages of their career. His goal is to support and nourishing his community with access to a holistic wellness platform with access to content and specialists to optimise and elevate their mindset and performance.
Jeff says “My business is a modern, innovative, and quite a disruptive approach to traditional agency recruitment. I moved into the agency recruitment space probably four and a half years ago. In a traditional model, recruitment is a very client-driven business to make money. I wanted to really reshape that entire engagement process with clients but also with talent, to create a model that's a non-commissioned driven model. On the talent side, I've wanted to build a business where I could really focus on people, assisting them on their career journey, be it through coaching and mentoring, professional development, unlocking opportunities with exposure to organisations, and all of those things, wrap it up in a nice little bow and in a in a nice little ecosystem, that enables that positive exchange with people, enabling them to thrive in their career. Wellbeing is a big sector, and what we're trying to do, is really wrap it up and align it to what that means for your career.”
I asked Jeff, what does resilience mean to you?
“Resilience to me is about, how do you get out of bed every single day with that positive mindset, and how can you get into that positive mindset quickly? If you get out with a negative mindset, or you've had a rough night's sleep, whatever it may be, how do you shift that on a daily basis? And how do you look at each day as an opportunity? I think the key is how do we manage stress, and how do we become aware of it too?”
There was a really pivotal moment in my life, which I think there's one thing that we're going to probably touch on now where I had to make some drastic changes. I went overseas and I came back from overseas and I had a bit of an issue with my gut. Tests suggested that there was nothing wrong. But in my mind, there was something wrong and that little issue was exacerbated over the course of probably 10 months.
I went from a pain in the gut to a pain in the shoulder, and I was feeling nauseous all the time. I had all these physical ailments that were coming out in my body, and I thought I was on death's door. I thought I was dying. And I thought there was something that just hadn't been found.
I spent a ridiculous amount of money that year going from specialist to specialist trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I saw one of Melbourne's top infectious diseases specialists, and it wasn't until probably later on that journey, there was a specific moment for me. There were a couple of specific moments actually, there was one when I was going to the hospital I was in all sorts. Getting out of my Uber, literally my legs just left me I couldn't walk. I was completely paralysed from the waist down and I was crawling on the ground. It was the weirdest sensation, and from here the doctor started talking more about exploring things from a mental perspective.” says Jeff.
Jeff’s tips:
- Talk to people, specialists, friends, and colleagues.
- Education and awareness can help you enournously.
- Smile, it helps you to be more oprimistic and this action is connected to our bochemistry.

Introducing Blake, a professional golfer playing on the PGA Tour of Australasia and Asian Development tours. He is 25 years old and has been a professional since October 2019. Blake is excited to take his game around the world and achieve as much as he can.
I loved chatting with Blake, he has achieved so much already at age 25. When I spoke to him about his life and philosophies he is well beyond his years.
Blake believes that resilience is about how to keep going with a positive attitude.
He thinks it is less about the outcome and more about the process. When a daily process is adopted to be strong in the mind and body, he feels like he is achieving little things that also lead to bigger achievements too.
When Blake didn’t make the men’s state team, he was shocked. He was sure he was in, and this was something he had to overcome in his mind. He had to learn to get out of his head and find stability within himself to face his first rejection. At age 17, this setback was unexpected but it taught him so much. Blake managed to see this obstacle as an opportunity to dive deeper into who he is as a person. He is a warm, empathetic, and talented guy, and it has been so great to see him blossom in his career.
When Blake was at his lowest point, he felt alone and unsupported. When life doesn’t go our way, I am sure we can all relate. The question is, who are we in these moments, how do we reconnect within ourselves, so we can anchor in and find inner stability, instead of seeking affirmation externally? When we can find our inner anchor, we can find flexibility in our minds, to let go of the story we are telling ourselves about how we or life should be.
Since this event, has continued to develop himself as a person and hasn’t looked back. He believes it is a critical part of being a successful athlete.
Blake’s tips:
- When you feel alone or unsupported, know that you are worthy of happiness and success and it will come.
- Our environment is so important, surround yourself with positivity and people that are like-minded and have your best interest at heart.
- Have patience :)

Paul Baiguerra is passionate about helping writers to believe in their ability to build their own career. All journeys are different to becoming a writer, and Paul’s way of giving back is to help foster that for up-and-coming writers in his community.
On Paul’s journey, he learned that when he was young, he took his thoughts and negative emotions too seriously. It is important to let these go. Our brains are always generating thoughts, let them come and go. Paul believes that we cannot think our way into resilience, it is a choice.
Paul’s tips:
- Know your process
- Don’t fetish your writing, have the ability to write anywhere and keep it simple
- Treat daily writing as a blue-collar job
- Write all the time, and let the inspiration catch up to you
- Have a warmup like journaling

Sana is the founder and creator of her successful podcast called ‘Courage Unravelled’. She is passionate about helping people grow a courageous mindset in business and life as growing your courage muscle has amazing benefits!
Sana believes that resilience means the ability to survive adversity or some sort of big challenge and come through the other side having learned and grown from the experience. For the big life challenges, it can be like a strong and rising akin to the phoenix rising from the flames. “I also get this image of Arnie Schwarzenegger in the Terminator Series arising from the flames, mangled and robotic – but alive, nevertheless.” Says Sana.
In 2016 Sana experienced pins and needles in her legs and arms. She began to experience seizures that were body attacks of accumulated energy in her nervous system that released at night. They came out of the blue and developed into panic attacks.
At the time, Sana was experiencing a lack in her career professionally. Although she loved her career as an academic advisor, new clients were not consistent and the pressure built up as her home wasn’t selling on the property market.
Sana investigated a stroke or MS with her doctors and still continues to get to the bottom of the disruption that has occurred in her nervous system. Her exercise regimeme was reduced to slow walks, she lost weight and felt very fatigued. She also developed a sensitivity to foods like spinach and sweet potatoes, and peppermint tea, another sign that her body was under attack and inflammation.
It took twelve months of study and research and Sana finally began to feel well again.
No matter what Sana was going through, in her mind, she always believed that she would get through it. With the support of her amazing GP that was her rock at the hardest time of her life, she began to navigate her way through her journey back to health. Sana did a master herbalist course with David Crow, and also took a balanced approach incorporating acupuncture and psychology.
In this engaging interview, Sana talks about gene testing helped her understand how her body was metabolising nutrients. I have also explored this testing and it was a game-changer for me. With the results we can understand which nutrients we may not absorb naturally and when you tweak your foods and supplements if necessary, it can really boost repair.
Sana learned that the most important thing for her was to surrender. The brain is the control centre, and it didn’t’ surprise me when Sana said it was also about emotionally letting go of control and where she wanted to go. I am forever inspired by the emotional links to our physical ailments.
The other thing that Sana learned on this journey, was the power of the body and its ability to heal. With the right tools, we can let the body what it does best, it knows what to do. The trick is to figure out how to get out of its way.
At her lowest point Sana’s self-worth and esteem plummeted as she struggled in her career, she felt like she was experiencing rejection after rejection. She decided to go away for a weekend retreat, and she meditated, wrote down her skillset, and surrendered. On the first day, she was offered a new job.
Sana’s turning point was when she realised that she had a choice to go on and suffer further consequences or surrender. “When someone has faith in your skills it can change your life and that of others. My earth angel gave me the chance to have a 20-year career in clinical aromatherapy.”
Sana’s tips:
- Surrender, let go of control of where you are going
- Exercise, eat well, meditate and be in nature
- The body has the ability to heal
- Have faith and trust and you will find your courage

Nina is a mum of two boys, a horticulturist, landscape architect, meditation teacher, and founder of Serene Body Health. Nina’s passion is to explore the beauty of balancing aromas, creating inspiring scents, that have the power to shift moods and support emotional wellbeing.
Nina believes that resilience is about being present. To catch yourself when you are n your head, stuck in thoughts about the past or future, in worry or sadness. How does she do this? Nina brings herself back into the present moment by focusing on her feet, while walking, or even just standing she imagines that she anchors into the ground. This helps her to get out of her head coming back into the present moment.
Nina’s interview reminded me that when crap hits the fan, we are truly guided and we intuitively know what we need and if we sit still enough to listen and are brave enough to sit in the uncomfortable, we will find our way. This interview inspired me so much and I can’t wait to share it.
Nina’s tips:
- Be in gratitude daily to keep yourself in check
- Try mediation and scented oils to soothe and open the mind
- Move your body with exercise to shift negative energy
- Always reach out to people and communicate your feelings

Steve Carey is one of Australia's most experienced TV News and Public Affairs executives. He has a heart of gold and has so much experience in his industry, I am so lucky to have had him on the show.
Steve starts the interview by talking about the mental isolation that we all experienced in 2020 while in lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Steve said he was lucky to continue working throughout lockdown because his business is in media. Having said that, the year still required mental agility and resilience that also helped Steve re-shape what and how he values in his life. It was the simple things, letting go of over-indulgence, letting in more sunshine and sea air.

Mark Truelson is not your everyday speaker. He leads from the heart and brings love and emotion to the normally sterile world of Corporate Australia.
Mark believes that there is a vulnerability and softness that can be found in resilience. He felt this in what we have all most recently gone through living in a pandemic. To find the endurance to persist, we need a framework so that it can become a repeatable process, something that we can all learn and teach.

As the Director of Barry Plant Heathmont & Ringwood, Louise's vision is to deliver the ultimate in customer service, with a trustworthy and friendly approach, Louise leaving both vendors and buyers surprised that their real estate experience can be positive and happy.
Louise’s interview was so down to earth and I learned so much from her. She believes that resilience is about growth and self awareness. Louise’s sister is living with a severe disability and it is Louise’s role to manage her life and affairs.
At times this can be a juggle, but it has taught Louise to tackle life with a fresh mindset. Juggling two businesses and her family life with her beautiful husband and kids, is fast paced in the Carrig household. Louise has also lived with anxiety that has impacted her life on and off throughout the years. The Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 was an opportunity for Louise to slow down the pace. She finally felt like she had permission to do so and it has been a blessing for her.
Louise has removed ‘busy’ from her vocabulary and has realised that one way she used to cope was by adding more tasks into her day to distract herself. Her mind and body kept giving her signs via anxiety and burn out symptoms. In the past she just kept organising, pushing and doing more to deal with it but it never made her symptoms improve.
Until Louise had the time to integrate self care routines into her daily life. She now has regular baths, will take the time to go outside for a picnic lunch and she feels an enormous difference in how she thinks and feels at home and at work.
At her lowest point, Louise felt frightened and lonely. But with self awareness, acceptance, journaling and meditation she has turned that all around. Her turning point was when she fully accepted her circumstances and when she surrendered. When she literally could not do anything more in her day she knew she had to make a choice and find a better way.

Deborra-Lee Furness needs no introduction, but let me remind you all how amazing this woman actually is. She is an internationally acclaimed actress as well as a passionate supporter of children and defender of their human rights across the globe.
You don’t want to miss this engaging, hilarious, and deepest dive into Deborra-Lee’s world. We spoke about Deborra-Lee’s daily rituals that keep her mindset optimised, including cleaning the dishes, a scared time that Deborra-Lee transforms into a mindfulness exercise.
Resilience is to overcome, a motto that Deborra-Lee lives by and is known for, she loves to put her self out there and to be thrown into the deep-end, it energises her, and it strengthens her.
While we have all been in a global pandemic that will go down in history, we all have had hurdles to overcome, Deborra-Lee believes this time shutting down has helped remind us all of what we are made of.
How does Deborra-Lee stay happy and healthy? She embraces creativity in her film work, screenplay writing and directing, cooking and painting. How Deborra-Lee starts her day is important to her and her husband Hugh Jackman, they eat, move and spend time together. They read in the morning, and have a gorgeous morning ritual they embrace together.
I was lucky to meet Deborra-Lee 6 years ago and her energy is authentic and she makes you feel at home in her presence. I am so grateful that she agreed to be on the show, it was such a powerful chat.
There were some golden nuggets that were really beautiful in this interview here are some that stood out:
- Be in the moment as much as you can, our emotional state is key
- Eat well, move your body and surround yourself with people that you love that truly support you
- When you put yourself out there you can make magic happen for yourself
- Embrace failure - if you are not willing to fail you wont have the freedom to fly

For the last 10 years, Phil has been navigating the complex journey of chronic health and all of the mental challenges that comes with it.
Despite not having recovered, he is believes he is closer than he's ever been and although Phil still faces extreme physical symptoms on a daily basis, he is mentally, much stronger and resilient as a result of what he has had to go through.
Furthermore, the people he has met and the experiences he has had, has meant that Phil is now in a position to be more grateful, knowing he a better person for it.
This mental toughness and resilience has left him better equipped to leave his day job and launch his own online business, both things he wouldn't have done if he never developed chronic health issues.
Check out this inspiring interview where Phil shares what has been key to his positive mindset and why he ensures that he surrounds himself with positive people, seeking out stories of people in similar situations who have recovered or massively improved their lives. Phil came to the realisation this year that if people could also expose themselves to these stories and they could be given some hope, then they too could change their mindset, and this is when the idea for The Chronic Comeback Podcast was born.
Phil believes that resilience is all about the ability to find gratitude and reason at the darkest of times. To keep going, to rise and have a comeback, to do that one must fine the lesson.
At age 22 Phil was living a good life, he travelled a lot and was having fun. He was bitten by a tick on his trip to Australia and since then has been battling with debilitating neurological and joint pain symptoms. Since then he has explored many healers and solutions and has had felt misunderstood living with invisible symptoms.
He has never given up and decided to take control of his health journey. This has led to trips to India to detox, to water fasts, to Germany for to stem cell therapy, and a decision to leave his corporate job.
Phil now lives his life with a greater meaning and feels more connected to his purpose. He reads more, listens to podcasts and believes this journey has been his own self discovery of personal development. Phil now knows how to feel good not just look good and he the importance of both only after going through the difficult times he has had to face.

I loved interviewing Rosie I met her in 2014, when she had Rise Yoga in Richmond, and we instantly connected. She is classy, gorgeous and so lovely you can’t help but want to get to know her.

For the past 25+ years, Linda has been very focused on moving her way up the corporate ladder in retail buying and General Management roles. Her current role is the Group General Manager of the Jay Jays brand. She juggles the role of retail executive with being Mum to 3 kids under 15 and running a yoga business in both Australia and Bali.
It was around 5 years ago when Linda relocated her family from Sydney back to Melbourne – following her dream job at Jay Jays that she reached a time in her life that was deeply challenging on a personal level. This difficult period drove her to make some significant changes to her life as she looked for a way of overcoming them.
The move back to Melbourne was tougher than she excepted as she had to learn to navigate a high-pressure corporate role, a long 3-hour daily commute and trying to balance family life with a loving husband and 3 children then under 9 years of age. She placed huge expectations on herself about how she should perform in her job and her role as Mum which left no room for self-care and self-reflection. She was operating in survival mode and struggling.
‘When I started my role in Melbourne, I felt like I’d landed my dream job. My job sat alongside people in the industry that I’d admired from afar and so I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform and be the person I thought I needed to be to fit in there.’ This person that Linda tried to become was a long way away from the real her – the authentic self and so she went through a period of deep struggle, lost identity and felt like she had become an imposter. This left her feeling exhausted, she lost her passion for her career (that she’d thrived in for 25 years and loved!), she’d lost her down-to-earth, authentic leadership style and generally lost her passion for life.
‘I lived in a constant state of survival. I was too tired to spend quality time with my beautiful family, who needed me because they were going through a big change too, having moved from another city. They needed me to engage with new schools, new friendships and our local community so that they could find their place here back in Melbourne. Instead, I’d spend my weekends either crying in bed or wishing I could lie in bed and wallow. At work, I lacked energy and tended to distance myself from others, I was constantly on the defence and generally dreaded going into work every day.’

In our interview, Matt opens up about the hurdles he had to face pivoting while in lockdown. In his 20’s Matt was hosting parties on a $100million Super-Yacht for a billionaire in the Greek Islands.
He decided that he had achieved what he could in this space and wanted a new challenge, something that would fulfil his passion to create and succeed. It was Property that stood out amongst the rest.
This year, facing change and adversity, Matt used the skills he learned to adjust and foresee what was coming well in advance. Matt explains how the changes we face in life, are making us stronger.
With a positive mindset, supportive people around us and a drive to keep moving forward, Matt reminded me that we can truly achieve anything if we can give ourselves a good environment to succeed. The new path that a change can bring may actually lead us to a better place that we ever could have imagined.
