Justine Roach’s life as a successful businesswoman, professional home renovator and mother changed overnight in 2005, after the sudden suicide of her beloved sister, Rachael. Struggling to come to terms with her soulmate’s death, Justine suffered a breakdown which left its mark in ongoing depression and anxiety.
This episode examines her rise from other traumas including childhood abuse and a life/death surgery of her then 30 day old son, whilst riddled with anxiety attacks and post natal depression. We explore the various philosophies and strategies Justine adopted that have ultimately transformed her life and how she ‘feels’ her way through the tidal waves of ever-changing emotions.
We talk of many life themes including dealing with buried memories, loneliness, inner child, self love, courage, joy and purpose.
Learn from a woman who has learned to take personal responsibility one little step at a time, day by day, to ultimately discover who she really is by cultivating joy and love from within, and now contributes to the lives of many through her book: Start Being Happy: Proven Practices for a Joyful Life.
Tune in, open your mind and heart, and be inspired.
