Tina Leigh McDonald has a chronic pain condition but she managed in her busy corporate job successfully for many years.  But when a car accident caused her condition to worsen and forced her to resign she realised that part of her recovery and rehabilitation was going to mean returning to work in a way that she could manage but that still allowed her to support people in the way that she loved. She established her business Avalanche coaching and now she splits her time providing leadership and soft skills training to businesses and also supports 16 to 24 year olds with career guidance helping them to transfer from school into apprenticeships, university or work. She says having a chronic pain condition limits the time she can put into her business but her passion for what she does helps her to continue with a purpose she believes in and manage her condition too.

Kenya Sheat describes herself a natural born writer and her love of writing was the turning point and therapy she needed to recover her emotional strength when she suffered a breakdown following the death of her much loved Grandma and 2 close friends. It was at the 'rock bottom' moment that Kenya followed the advice of her therapist and turned to her journal.  She began recording her thoughts and feelings and this kept her focused on the things she was grateful for and allowed her to express her emotions in a way that made sense to her.  Kenya says "Writing is how I've been able to handle a lot of things and then reading it back to myself. It helps me to understand exactly what I'm going through. Its one thing to be going through something and people can see what your going through from the outside but by writing it down I'm taking my inside and turning it to the outside. I'm flipping the inside out so I can visually see and better understand." She learned the power of seeing her feelings on the page in front of her and the sense of peace and understanding that came from" When she finished her degree studies Kenya joined corporate America and prepared for the long hours and commitment needed to be successful. But she had a dream to start her own business and took a leap of faith, left her corporate job and started on her entrepreneurial journey.  It was tough and for a while she was homeless and living in a shelter in New York City.  But she know she wasn't meant to stay there and looks back on that time as a necessary part of her journey towards creating her own business but also to understanding herself.
