Once Lost Now Proud
Self-invention is never over until we allow it to be. We can all be on the receiving end of some pretty impressive curveballs in life, some we never imagine or expect, and we can find ourselves a bit lost; it's the decisions we make at that moment that can change everything. In this podcast, I discuss areas of my life where I felt utterly lost which I'm sure some can relate to. I'll also be joined by some remarkable guests who will be baring all, discussing some of the most painful and challenging times in their lives, with a focus on how they kept going when everything seemed against them and how they've ended up very proud of where they are today. It is my hope that by listening to this podcast it will inspire you to take a leap of faith, because you never know what's waiting for you on the other side!
Once Lost Now Proud
Against All Odds
In today's episode, I'm speaking with the lovely Christiana Valentine.
As you'll hear from my intro, this story was a difficult one to listen to and then when I edited it, I found myself wondering what it must have been like in Christina's position at those times in her life, and quite frankly, it's impossible to comprehend.
I have to pre-warn you that we talk of child abuse, both physical and sexual, paedophilia, heartbreak, mental health, and suicide. But we also speak of success and survival at its best; this is difficult to listen to, but the outcome is the most encouraging one.
As you'll hear, Christina is a multi-award winner, inspirational speaker, author and much more, and her daughter Daisy is a very talented artist.
Remember that no matter how many curveballs you get thrown in life, you have to get up, dust yourself off and carry on the journey to becoming something pretty awesome, and let me tell you, Christina and Daisy are on the path to greatness.
