I decided that I was not willing to sacrifice my health and energy, and that I
would be more of a benefit to the world making a contribution doing
something I am passionate about, and coming from a place of abundant
energy, rather than a place of burn out! So I packed in my low paid jobs (of
which there were several) and set up my business doing something I love –
coaching and writing for women to have fantastic lives and relationships –
and even though logic would tell you it’s not the right time to start a
business, within the first three months my business was already making
more money than I would have made working hours all the hours doing
the lower paid jobs.

make it possible for us. A family member came forward and offered to loan
us some money towards buying the motorhome (the van) which we were
able to add to what we had already made from selling our possessions and
working. I think that they were inspired by seeing our commitment to our
dream and that is what made them offer to help. And so we bought the
van that we now travel around in. This help came out of the blue, we had
no idea this was an option for us. We also went ahead with our wedding
plans, and again the money was there, from various sources including
money we earned, wedding gifts and so on.
Now we are living life on our own terms. My partner and I travel from

houses while they are away, and get free accommodation in return. This
means that we get to live in luxury, enjoying all the comforts of a house. As
I write this we are in a cottage in Northumberland UK, sitting in front of a
roaring log fire, with a cupboard full of Christmas food that the owners
