INSPIRING WOMEN: CELEBRATING STRENGTH, STORYTELLING, AND THE LAUNCH OF LIMITLESS
by Shirleyann Haig, Founder of Inspiring Women Wirral
I’ m always so grateful to use this space in Wirral Life to shine a light on the phenomenal women who make up our Inspiring Women community— women leading with courage, creating positive change, and lifting others as they rise.
A heartfelt thank you to our recent guest speakers— Anne Archer, Andrea Mapouridis, Sarah White, Debs Patterson and Jayne Bransby, who each brought something powerful and personal to the stage at our latest events. From emotional stories of transformation to practical advice for navigating life and business, these women reminded us all that strength comes not from perfection, but from authenticity and connection. Thank you for inspiring so many with your courage.
We were also delighted to be sponsored by Zinzino at our June event— a science-led wellness brand offering high-quality, test-based supplements. I shared the benefits of partnering with Zinzino, not only for improved personal health, but also as an ethical income opportunity. As businesswomen, we value partnerships that support wellbeing and sustainability, and Zinzino delivers on both.
Limitless— A Best-Selling Book That’ s Bigger Than Business One of the most defining moments of our year was the launch of Limitless – Inspiring Women Redefining Success, a collaborative book featuring 11 remarkable female entrepreneurs— many of whom are familiar faces across Wirral.
This powerful collection isn’ t just about business— it’ s about rewriting the rules of success. Each woman shares her personal journey of overcoming adversity, embracing change, and building purpose-led businesses from a place of authenticity. These are stories of women who walked away from high-powered careers to care for loved ones, rebuilt from scratch after loss, or found their calling in helping others thrive.
And we’ re thrilled to share that Limitless became an Amazon Best Seller and a Hot New Release within days of launching. It has already received glowing 5-star reviews, with readers praising the honesty, courage, and inspiration packed into every chapter.
A Launch to Remember The Kindle edition launched on 20th June, and the support from our community was overwhelming. That same evening, we gathered for a joyful celebration at The Wro in West Kirby— a night filled with laughter, emotion, and unforgettable moments.
The Limitless paperback followed on 4th July and is now available on Amazon— the perfect gift for anyone in need of inspiration, empowerment, or a reminder of their own strength.
What’ s Next: Limitless Volume 2 The response to Limitless has been phenomenal, and I’ m so excited to announce that Volume 2 is already in the works.
We’ re now looking for new contributors. If you ' re a female entrepreneur or business owner with a story to tell— whether you’ re just starting out or have years of experience— we want to hear from you. This is your chance to become a published author, raise your profile, and inspire women around the world. Reach out if you ' d like to be involved.
Coming Up: Inspiring Women Retreat in Spain – 15 – 19 September We’ re also thrilled to be hosting our first Inspiring Women Retreat in Spain, taking place 15th – 19th September 2025.
This is more than just a break— it’ s a transformational experience for women who are ready to pause, reflect, and reignite their personal and professional goals. You’ ll enjoy uplifting workshops, wellness sessions, inspiring conversations, and deep connection in the tranquil surroundings of southern Spain.
Whether you’ re navigating change, growing a business, or simply craving space to breathe, this retreat offers the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself and your vision. Limited spaces are available— please get in touch if you ' d like to join us.
Looking Ahead: Embracing the Extraordinary On a personal note, I’ m proud to announce that our next collaborative book, Embracing the Extraordinary – The Reality of Parenting Neurodivergent Kids, will be published in September 2025.
This heartfelt project brings together parents, carers, and professionals to share the raw and real experiences of raising neurodivergent children— the highs, the heartbreaks, and the resilience it takes to keep going. It’ s honest, powerful, and full of insights, solutions, and solidarity.
To support the writing, editing, and distribution of the book— and ensure it reaches the families who need it most— we’ ve also launched a Crowdfunder campaign. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us amplify the voices of parents and create a resource that will offer understanding, connection, and hope. If you ' d like to support the project, please search Embracing the Extraordinary Crowdfunder or get in touch directly for the link.
Why These Stories Matter We live in a world that needs real stories more than ever— stories that show us we’ re not alone, that success isn’ t one-size-fits-all, and that it’ s okay to start over, dream big, and define your own version of achievement.
Limitless is for every woman who has ever doubted her path, questioned her potential, or felt like she didn’ t quite fit the mould. And it’ s for every woman ready to write her next chapter— fearlessly and unapologetically.
Thank you for being part of this movement— whether you’ ve joined us at events, supported the book, or shared kind words with one of our authors. We’ re just getting started.
