This weeks guest is someone who I felt I knew so well so I was excited and ready to meet her. I had read her book and fell in love with it. I was so inspired by how she overcame some of the biggest struggles in her life.
Sitting right in front of me with one of the biggest smiles, this beautiful human is none other than Menaca Pothalingham.
Menaca Pothalingham knows what it means to start over. She was already an adult when the civil war in her home country of Sri Lanka began and forced her to uproot her life and move to India. In India, she obtained a university degree, but not without struggle. Starting in a new country and learning a new language was not easy but Menaca always knew she wanted to find a way to help others and ultimately she found her gift.
Her best selling book, Resilience Learned is a beautiful and heartfelt story of her own struggle of a young girl growing in hostile surroundings. Her only goal was to survive and keep going no matter what.
After moving to the UK now married, she created an amazing six-figure business as a successful dentist working in her own practice. At the same time, she gave birth to her daughter and life became difficult to balance. She continued to work hard until oneway, she burnt out.
While she was off sick, Menaca attended a self-development event and this is when her life took a complete 360-degree turn...
Today Menaca works in London as a Resilience Coach, helping her clients discover their passions and live of resilience, both personally and professionally.If you would like to get in contact with Menaca
