REAL WOMEN: Empowering Others by Empowering Self Week 5!

I hope you have been enjoying this series titled 'Real Women: empowering others by empowering self'. I have certainly enjoyed interviewing some wonderful women who have been so brutally honest about the challenges they have faced ... and still facing ... and how they have overcome these in their own very simple and down to earth ways. Their honesty has been truly inspiring, and is what I believe makes a ‘Real Woman'.

We all face times in our lives when change comes knocking at our door and we know in our hearts that we must step out and live ‘why we came', or our purpose in life. Even though we know it is exactly what we must do and we are excited by the prospect, it is often a time filled with fear. Fear that we may not be good enough ... may not succeed, may not have what it takes ... may not know how to make it happen! But it is the real woman or man that steps out and simply gives it a go! They trust that the way will be shown by a Universe that loves to support our uniqueness and our dreams. This is what I call ‘a knowing'! These beautiful souls have this inbuilt wisdom that allows them to understand that success will happen regardless of what may be going on around them, if they hold true to the vision and keep on keeping on - giving up is simply not an option.

On this week's show I have yet another beautiful lady who has done just that! She has had a fabulous vision for many years ... a very big vision which has unfolded in ways that has touched so many lives.
