“I built a successful career as a Chartered Accountant in a senior leadership position at one of the largest listed corporate financial services companies spanning more than a decade. Despite climbing the corporate ladder and earning a lot of money, I wasn’t entirely happy and fulfilled though. The long hours and extreme pressurized environment eventually had a negative impact on my health and emotional wellbeing. Although I enjoyed my job, I wasn’t madly in love with it. I believed there had to be something better in life for me. Other people are doing what they love and earn money for it. I wanted that for my life too. My desire was to find and live my purpose. I wanted to do more, be more and achieve more. I wanted to make a bigger impact in people’s lives and reach my full potential. I wanted to be healthy, active, happy and financially free. I wanted to live my best life – the dream lifestyle I envisioned for myself and I believe God intended for me to live.  

At the end of 2015 I left the corporate world in a close to burnout state in the pursuit to find work-life balance and to also initiate my journey to find my true passion and purpose. That was how my entrepreneurial journey started when my sister and I founded PhysEQFiT – a company focusing on physical, emotional and financial wellness.

In 2016 my sister and I started PhysEQFiT Guesthouse that we built from scratch with no experience or database of clients. Thereafter, I started my financial consulting and training company called FinanciallyFiT Group. During lockdown in 2020 I took the leap of faith opening PhysEQFiT Spa. Most recently I ventured into property when my partner and I founded JohRon Real Estate Group.

It was an extremely tough and difficult journey with multiple challenges to overcome. Many sleepless nights, stress, tears, disappointments, days that I wanted to give up, being out of my comfort zone and feeling frustrated. All that kept me going was my bigger dream and vision for my life.     

9 years after leaving the corporate world: I am doing what I love running multiple successful businesses. I received 9 business awards / nominations during 2019, yes I must be doing something right too. I was featured in the international Woman Entrepreneur magazine as one of the Top-10 inspirational female entrepreneurs for 2019 – I feel content knowing that I am making a difference. My book Financially Fit and Wealthy was published and won an award, a dream I had since childhood. I am speaking at multiple events and companies, I conquered one of my biggest fears. I am in a happy relationship, can focus on my health and fitness and have set-up multiple income streams. I am building my dream lifestyle. Every day I get closer to living my best life. No I am not there yet, but I made significant progress which I am proud of. I realized living your best life is a journey, something that you need to work towards on an ongoing basis – reflecting, realigning, refocusing and determination are important aspects of the journey.

By sharing the lessons learned from my journey and using my qualifications and experience I am making an impact in the lives of people and businesses.”
