Surviving Addiction, Domestic Abuse & Entrepreneurship - CiCi Regan Twining's Story
CiCi Regan Twining is the owner of Brilliant Estate Planning, which provides personalised financial planning and protection for families and businesses.
Originally from a small town in Southern America, CiCi moved to the UK in 2017. A recovering addict and survivor of domestic abuse, CiCi has overcome some incredibly difficult challenges over the years.
An inspiration indeed, I just had to get her on the show to share her story:
(02:46) CiCi gives us some insight into her background and how she became sucked into the world of addiction.
(06:47) Like many recovering addicts, CiCi celebrated her 90 days sober birthday by having a drink. But she found her strength again and kept on pushing forward.
(08:08) CiCi comes to stay over in the UK for 6 months, the maximum time allowed when you don’t have a visa. She was barely 2 weeks sober.
(11:11) How did CiCi found the UK culture? Brits are known for their heaving drinking.
(13:32) Does she find people are judgemental of her past?
(16:32) A chronic condition and employment, unfortunately, don’t tend to go hand in hand. Unfair? Absolutely.
(19:13) CiCi discusses the challenges she has faced since starting her business, like working all hours of the day!
(23:03) What habits keep her focused and mentally resilient?
(26:44) There are definitely some perks to working for yourself when you have a chronic illness.
(27:25) CiCi talks about the effects of COVID on her business.
(30:27) What advice would she give herself if she could go back to the beginning of her business?
(32:44) Defining success...
