In this special Global Women Voices edition of the Humanising Business Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Deidre Payne, founder and CEO of Fabulous Coaching, Training, and Productions.

This isn't just about motivation or mindset. It's about what happens when life takes everything and you choose to build something from what's left.

Dr. Payne brought her full story to this conversation. Losing her father, experiencing memory loss in 2022, and finding her way back through gratitude and positivity as daily, non-negotiable practices. Not as buzzwords. As survival tools that became a philosophy.

We went into what resilience actually looks like when it is lived, not just spoken about on a stage, and why women in business are often the last ones to give themselves the care they so freely give to everyone else.

This conversation stayed with me. It is for the woman who keeps going. The one who needs a reminder that growth and hope are not accidental. They are practiced.

We explored what it means to choose positivity when life gives you every reason not to, why gratitude is the practice that actually moves the needle, and how Dr. Payne is taking this message to women's conferences around the world.
