Divorcing my husband after 30 years together was a decision I made to free us both from the toxic relationship we were in. One of my turning points was realizing that I loved him more than I loved myself. Tolerating the last 10 years of emotional and mental abuse, his temper tantrums, and anger, my heart would beat really fast, and I would be filled with fear until I would start to faint. Loving someone is not enough, especially when they are a substance abuser.
I never dreamed that I would come out of my marriage with my soulmate, with no property, and massive debt. However, I decided to choose me! I hadn’t reached my full potential on this planet, so I started working on myself, listening to motivational speakers, and building my self-esteem. I focused on the things I could control—my health, my fitness, my mind.
The universe presented me with a challenge that was far beyond my comfort zone, ultimately curing me of my long-standing low self-esteem and fear of wearing dresses for three decades. Along this transformative journey, I evolved from those limitations to become an international beauty queen—Mrs. Earth Australia 2017 at the age of 55. This remarkable transformation saw me shedding the layers of insecurity to reveal my true, authentic self, elevating my self-esteem from its lowest point to equal my high self-confidence.”
This journey gave me the strength to divorce him.
Now, I live a life free of the constraints of another’s mood swings and control. Healing so much, the doors of motivational speaking and international media interviews opened to me, where I use my experiences to help others overcome obstacles in their lives.
It’s this extraordinary journey—from the depths of discomfort to the pinnacle of self-confidence—that fuels my passion for sharing the knowledge I’ve acquired. Through the ‘Thrive and Renew’ course, I’m eager to impart lessons learned about mindset, communication, manifestation, gratitude, and faith.
I believe that true transformation is born from stepping outside our comfort zones, facing challenges head-on, and embracing the discomfort that leads to authentic self-discovery.
My experiences, spanning divorce, personal growth, and beauty pageantry, have shaped my commitment to guide others on their own paths of thriving, renewing, and unlocking their full potential. Together, let’s embark on a journey of empowerment and transformation.”
