I interviewed my dear friend and colleague, Deborah Shepherd, about her many soul adventures in life. In 2011, she left behind a big corporate career to become a purpose-driven and spiritual entrepreneur and business leader. She founded the Embrace Life Festivals and ran it across NSW Australia for about 6 years. She nurtured and mentored a community of health & wellness practitioners and created a movement called the Gratitude. She is now planning to launch Soul Advisors in Australia, a global non-profit organization with its founder. She is certainly a busy woman who embraced change and achieved a lot of success in her life. We talked about the ups and downs in navigating these soul adventures, what are the lessons learned and how can we best prepared for and manage these changes and challenges in our lives.

Here is the shownote:

* The leap from working in the corporate world to become a purpose-driven entrepreneur

* The good days, the bad days and lessons learned

* If you are not sure, meditate! 

* Everything happened for a reason, all experiences lead you to personal growth

* The Art of Letting-Go

* How to become more resilient and evolve

* What would you say to your younger self, a 20-year-old Deborah Shepherd

The following is the transcript of our interview:

Sze Wing: Hi! I'm super excited to talk to Deb today. Deb is my personal friend and we work on many projects before in the wellness industry and so today I'm really happy to be able to find the time together to have this interview and chat about one of my favourite topic, which is about authentic success, how do we embrace change and living a more inspired life which is a recurring theme on all my podcasts.

Sze Wing: So this is the podcast called #ConversationsThatMatter and we're talking about stories from women that aim to empower other women. So today we have Deborah Shepherd with us who had been in so many different international corporate projects and worked in the finance industry and she had about 30 years of it and then you changed and you started your own business as a purpose-driven entrepreneur.

And we're going to talk a little bit more about that. And she created the community called Gratitude and she delivered Embrace Life Festivals across New South Wales. She also has an online platform and now also doing consulting and mentoring. So she has obviously a few reincarnations of her career.

And now you're leading a project called Soul Advisors. So I guess for my listeners will be interested to hear firsthand from the woman who has embraced so many different ventures in the business world.

So our guest today is Deborah Shepherd. Welcome, Deb!

Deb: Thank you Sze Wing. Lovely to catch up with you as you say we've been connected with each other for many many years. So. I look forward to being here today.
