“A wound is where the light gets in” – Rumi
It’s our 2021/22 Summer Series folks!!
This is our 4th year of 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 transformation. From the adversity that life threw at them, the mistakes that they’ve made, the perseverance that they’ve shown, the tenacity to be better and so much more.
Their story is so insightful and motivating that we’re certain that you would definitely learn at least one gold from each of them.
And this year is no different.
Kicking off our Summer Series this year is a superhero single mum of two, Dee!
Immigrating from South India and growing up in North England during the Thatcher era in the 80s is obviously no easy feat.
On top of that, Dee was the oldest of four siblings where money was so tight that a treat must be split four ways to be shared among the kids.
All the adversity in her early life clearly built up her foundation for money and generate 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 a tear 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!
