“A wound is where the light gets in” – Rumi
It’s our 2021/22 Summer Series folks!!
This is our 4th year of the Summer Series and we get very very excited each time because not only do we get to chat directly with our listeners, we get to learn so much from their life transformations. From the adversity that life throws at them and the mistakes they’ve made, to the perseverance they’ve shown, the tenacity to be better and so much more.
Their stories are so insightful and motivating, we’re certain you’ll definitely learn something from each of them!
And this year is no different.
Kicking off our Summer Series this year is superhero single mum of two, Dee!
Immigrating from South India and growing up in North England during the Thatcher era in the 80s was no mean feat.
On top of that, Dee was the eldest of four siblings and money was so tight that treats had to be split four ways to be shared among the kids.
All the adversity in her early life clearly built up her foundations in money and generated an invincible determination and drive for success.
But that’s not the end of today’s story…
In fact, it’s just the beginning.
Without giving too much away, let’s just say that there was a chain of events that completely shocked us and brought tears to our eyes.
Please just listen to this episode folks – we’ve started the Summer Series with her story ‘cos if it ain’t a bang, we don’t know what is!
Huge shout out to Dee for sharing her incredible story with us – powerful stuff, folks!
