KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I lost my entire family at the age of 13. I realised that as much as I was hurting over the loss of my family I was about giving back & that I was hear for a reason & a purpose. I was very lonely, of course, it was devastating but I kept asking god/source/whatever you want to call it what was next for me & what I could do to make an impact and a difference.
• Grief is all around, it’s inevitable, everyone goes through it. It doesn’t matter how it happens, but it’s a shock to the nervous system so the nervous system needs to be validated, but most of all cared for & gently taken care of.
• Letting go has to be first a step in the direction of allowing yourself not to feel that it’s going to be the end for you. I believe when I first gealed through my shamanism background that letting go made me feel like I was freefalling and nobody was there to catch me. Because I’d lost my entire family I went through that lonely period wondering who was going to support me & the best person to support myself was me. Only I could pick myself up & I had to look outside of myself for love, approval, compassion & support that wasn’t superficial & was long-lasting.
• I knew that I was here for a mightier purpose & that I was saved for a reason & that my deeds here on Earth were not done. I realised that I was the gift to them that I was still here, & that the trauma in my past was my ability to become the catalyst to help others heal. I turned my pain into purpose & I became a messenger to other to not be a mess but a victorious survivor thriving in a world where letting go is not always that easy or supported. Finding peace within was the journey that I went on and what I speak of in my books.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I always thought that if I touched 1 life & made a difference my purpose on Earth was fulfilled. Now I’m on a mission to save a million lives from the downward spiral that grief can cause.’
‘Our loved ones aren’t suffering, we don’t need to be suffering, they want us to live on in their legacy that they weren’t able to live on.’
‘You have to heal yourself in order to get out there and help heal others.’
‘I help to shed light on the power of forgiveness & the power of letting go as well as leaning into self-compassion.’

ABOUT THE HOST

Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

How?

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
