Vanda was interviewed by Patricia Muir about how to bounce back from a total life wipeout.

So many people are suffering some level of change, disruption and unhappiness in their lives.
It is very easy to get stuck in this mode.

How to bounce back – better than before!

When all the cornerstones of your life are removed at once

Sometimes you can sail along and think things are going quite well.
I had a thriving company that I had built from scratch, with a wonderful global network of associates;
a life partner with whom I shared a life passion; my remaining relative, my Mum, lived with me 6 months of the year in Palm Beach; my health was very good and I was living my dream life.

Suddenly my company had an aggressive takeover, and I was forced to close, loosing everything.
The worst part was the staff that relied on me and who were my ‘family of choice’ being made redundant.
Then my partner’s secretary called and said I could collect all my belongings from a local hotel!
My Mum also became unwell, and later died – and I had a birthday with a ‘0’ in it!

I viewed my landscape, now without any cornerstones, creating a great void.

To find out what happened next and the great lessons I learned, make yourself a cuppa and sit for 30 minutes as Patricia asks me all about it!

What to do for the back to school wobbles

Leave a Reply

Yes, school has started again, and although there is much Covid still about, for most young ones it is much like a cold. This means that students and teachers are returning to the classrooms – after there has been the best part of a 2 year disruption!

If you are 10 years old, that is a whopping 20% or 1/5th of your life!
If you were my age, 1/5th would mean a 15 year hiatus from a ‘normal’ life.

Therefore it is quite likely that people of all ages are feeling a little wobbly as you start to go back to what you used to do.

What to do about it?

A short while back I had the pleasure of making a video series to go with a new book, ‘The unfair student advantage’ with Michael Tipper. Realising that the strains from school related stressors are a major issue, Michael asked me to share some tips for students, parents and teachers.

Please let me know if you think this may help you, your teen or teachers.

Chi & I look forward to seeing / hearing from YOU!!!
