Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a business and having it succeed, only to lose it all because of a relationship breakdown with the business partner you worked with.

That’s what happened to Annette Densham and it left her feeling lost, hurt and struggling.

Annette Densham was fifteen when she wrote her first newspaper story about a local school fête. It taught her something: everyone has a story worth telling, if you know where to look. Forty five years later, she's still telling stories. Enticing them out of people in business who think they’re 'just ordinary', turning them into business awards, media features, and brands that stand for something. She digs until she finds the thread that makes someone unforgettable, then weaves it into something so sticky it clings to judges, journalists, and customers.

 

In this episode she shares:

 

-      How her love for storytelling began in childhood.

-      The significant challenges in her business partnership.

-      The feelings of shame and guilt can arise from perceived failures.

-      How her mental health was impacted by the business breakdown

-      Why listening to your body can help discern feelings of fear versus challenge.

-      How effective communication during personal changes was crucial for maintaining her relationships.

-      How finding joy in small moments can help during tough times.
