Instead of brushing off the comments they made I allowed them to play over and over in my mind which made me question myself and my abilities leaving me feeling drained.

Mental health not only affects the mind, it also affects your physical wellbeing. I have spent the last 2 years practicing a life of wellness through taking supplements, eating healthy, limiting my alcohol consumption and even working out. This works for me, this makes me happy but so does talking - something I didn’t realise until this week - I talked through my issues, I looked at the positives in my 12 year career (and there were a lot, not bigging up my ego or anything!) and realised that I should never have let those comments fester in my mind. I couldn’t have done that without my tribe, my network, my life team. Thank you!

Xen was created due to my calm and organised approach when it comes to executing marketing strategy, a value which is core to the success of who I am today and all of my achievements. I manage my pressures in a way which doesn’t cause stress to anyone I work with and the secret to that is the team I have around me and the fact that we talk; talk about issues, talk about the small triumphs, talk about the detail, as well as day to day life. Communication and Teamwork will always be the key to success and a thriving relationship.
