Listen Later

In this episode, Ildikó chats with Lisa Negus, who was inspired to start her new business, Unfrazzled, at the age of 60. Being involved in a life-altering accident, experiencing personal loss, and a late ADHD diagnosis led her to review her life and reinvent herself.

Her new business Unfrazzled is dedicated to helping others find calm amid chaos. Discover how struggles can spark new beginnings and be inspired by Lisa’s journey from adversity to empowerment.


KEY TAKEAWAYS


1. Anyone´s Life Can Change Within Seconds: You genuinely need to treasure and make the most of what you have while you have it.

2. Don´t Give Up On Healing: The right therapy can help you to heal, and to tackle the issues that are holding you back. But you may need to be patient and try several therapies before you find the right one for you.

3. Writing It Down Is Powerful: Journaling is particularly powerful. Establishing routines, self-reflection, and learning are also effective at helping you to regain balance and purpose, in particular after major life changes.

4. It´s Never Too Late: It is never too late to learn and reinvent yourself. In fact, age and experience are powerful assets for entrepreneurs.

5. Use Your Struggles as Fuel: Your struggles can become your greatest source of strength. For Lisa, receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life brought clarity and self-acceptance, inspiring her to channel her experiences into helping others through her business, Unfrazzled.

lldikó : You asked the universe, and it delivered.

Lisa: Starting out on a new business, certainly at my age, can be a really
