Sue shares a personal realisation about the importance of prioritising one's own goals and aspirations. She discusses the societal expectation for women to constantly support and care for others, often neglecting their own personal development. Sue also encourages listeners to schedule and communicate their own needs and desires, without seeking permission from others.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Prioritise making time for your own personal development and goals, rather than constantly prioritising the needs of others.
Communicate your needs: It is important to communicate your needs and schedule to others. Letting them know when you need time for yourself or for specific activities can help set boundaries and ensure that you have dedicated time for your own goals.
Stop asking for permission: Stop seeking permission from others to pursue your goals. Instead, take ownership of your own aspirations and make them a priority without waiting for validation or approval from others.
Schedule and commit: Make a firm commitment to yourself and your own growth.
BEST MOMENTS
"There are very few people I find in the world who you can have a true deep connection with who you click instantly with almost as if they're family and you would do absolutely anything to support them."
"No one can ever write that on my gravestone because I battle with it all the time. How much do I give of me and empty and pour my cup out to everyone else to support everybody else versus feeling resentful myself that I didn't have any time to do my self-care, my growth, my development."
"You are going to schedule it and you are going to communicate it to the rest of the world, that it cannot be moved. It will not be moved. It's on the calendar. You're doing it this week, this time, for this long, for this duration."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
