A year ago, I did something entirely outside my comfort zone - I shared a post asking individuals I barely knew to support me in making a dream of mine possible. 

The moments before I posted, I hesitated not knowing whether I should - was I being realistic? 

My dream was to help millions, yet my hesitation came from other people’s perception of what I wanted to do. 

Many people including those I trusted dismissed my vision as impossible and they would justify their comments by saying I wasn’t Oprah. 

They’re right, I’m not Oprah but like Oprah, I set an intention. 

That intention to make sure no other mother had to feel the pain, disconnection and self-judgment I felt after having my son and with my intention in mind I had the courage to press share. 

I sat watching my post, waiting for people to comment and within a minute a woman from my online community put her hand up saying an enthusiastic yes. 

She did say yes to the notion but more importantly, she became my biggest advocate helping me in defining my vision as well as assisting me in encouraging other people to guest star on the show. 

And on that note, I’m pleased to announce that very person is the next guest of Digital Village and her name is Willow Shanks

Willow is a mother of two beautiful boys, who runs a successful online business as well as a fitness empire.

Willow is a force to be reckoned with - determined, driven and at the same time loving, compassionate and emphatic. She is a true example of how a woman can have it all. 

“If you're looking for someone to show you tangible steps to how you can create what's on your heart whilst balancing everyday life, Willow is without a doubt your kind of inspiration and motivation.”
