Lady Time

Sam had a two-fold story to share with Lady Time, in his early forties he had a yearning to find out more about his ancestral roots as a British-born Canadian of Indian descent ‘before the thread would be lost forever in the fabric of India’ as he so eloquently put it. Then a few shorts years later he had a pivotal decision to make in his life – stay in his very comfortable pensionable corporate job or leave and jump into the unknown? He chose the latter.

In our conversation he discusses how he navigated that decision when he found himself standing on a precipice with comfort behind him and uncertainty waiting over the edge. Both stories intertwine in a way, where Sam first found a sense of belonging and discovered more of who he was and later realised that the corporate world was no longer a good fit.

Sam authored a book called 'Lost and Found: Seeking the Past and Finding Myself' about the journey seeking his roots.

He also offers affordable coaching for those starting out or rethinking their career.

Feeling restricted in her job by the time she arrived at midlife, Heather decided it was time for a change. At the time she did not consider herself a risk taker but the need for change was strong and so, armed with new ideas and a degree in accountancy, she set herself up as a CPA & Profitability Coach. Heather now works with women who want to change tack in midlife and move into business. She developed a shame-free approach to working with women as she has found that generally speaking, they are more inclined to be more hesitant to talk about money and have a tendency also to price too low for their services. Join us for an engaging discussion with this very vibrant and colourful lady!

Lisa felt adrift when an early menopause made itself known in her life at the age of only 41. In our conversation she shared what a lonely place it was to be in, that came with a feeling of disempowerment. The turning point for her came whilst sharing her story in a women’s circle, something she wasn’t keen on doing at the time but later came to know the absolute value of sharing your story with others. In the circle she met a woman called Diane Danzebrink author of ‘Make Menopause Matter’ and that opened up a whole new vista of understanding for her. She was more than happy to share her story again here on Lady Time.
