Life is a journey with many twists and turns, with moments of great joy as well as events 
that pose huge challenges. Amazingly though many people are still allowing life to ‘happen’ to them instead of creating the life they desire.
Taking control and creating life is about finding your authentic self underneath all the preinstalled beliefs that have been born out of experiences, rules, education and the media. Is it achievable? You better believe it! It is a choice to be made…
Every year I set myself goals, business and personal. I then create a plan and take daily action steps towards making them… and inevitably they materialise. That is this power of being able to create that I want to share and encourage other women to harness…
Are You Creating Your Life?
What does that question mean to you? Our pictures of life will inevitably be different because our desires are different and our mind maps (our preinstalled beliefs and experiences) are unique to us. And how we think makes a huge difference to how we behave.
Here are some questions for you to ponder:
- When you wake in the morning what is your first thought?
- In your week, how much time do you allocate for yourself to do things just for you?
- If someone is critical of you (something you said, how you look, etc) how do you react?
- Are your friends supportive of you when you have ideas, be they business, career or leisure pursuits? What sort of things do they say?
- When you speak to your family, spouse/partner about things you’d like to do or achieve, what type of feedback & support do you get?
- When you look in the mirror what do you think of as you look at your reflection?
- When was the last time you read anything educational and what was it?
- How much time do you spend watching TV per week? What do you like to watch & why?
- When you think about the word ‘budget’ what images and thoughts does it conjure up?
- What fills you with fear?
- Do you ever plan your day/week/ month or do you just wait to see what the day/week/month will bring?
- At the end of a day, what is likely to be the most prominent thought in your mind?
Based on your answers are you running on auto-pilot most of the time, doing and being without thinking? Or do you consciously think things through?
It doesn’t matter if you have been running on auto-pilot because now you’ve acknowledged it, you can take steps to change it and you can begin to create the life you desire… one step at a time!

A catalyst for change, Yvonne Bignall is a breath of fresh air in the extraordinary way she helps women 50+ to reconnect with life & their innate power through radical self-care, guilt-free!
She supports, encourages, and inspires women to prioritise their health, one bitesize action at a time. Her work is challenging as it navigates through difficult conversations, listening & observing how women’s health issues have been:
❊ Undermined
❊ Under-resourced &
❊ Swept under the carpet
She helps women to recognise & unpack old scripts that still (sadly enough) tell them that their value derives from their level of caregiving of others, their output. The truth is it is the input, the ability to resource self, which provides women with the energy required to realise their true potential.
Along with her team, she explores the thoughts, behaviour & habits, often born out of guilt, gender expectations, and reinforced narratives, with curiosity (not judgment), discarding the unhelpful, whilst reclaiming innate power through the creation of new patterns, restoring a sense of self, outside of societal expectations. In her opinion, this allows women to:
✔ Develop an elevated level of self-awareness
✔ Build / rebuild their confidence & self-belief
✔ Value all of who they are and invest time in who they want to be at their best
A self-care warrior, an encourager & inspirer, Yvonne is today an award-winning Women’s Health Advocate, Published Author, and an International Presenter. She is also a Radio Show Host and a Podcaster.
Yvonne is focused on building a community of women, www.PermissionToThrive.online, who are ready to reclaim their right to self-care, guilt-free, and who prioritise their health without apology, role-modeling behaviour & habits that inform generations to come of their true value.
She also advocates for self-care over burnout in the workplace, delivering practical webinars in the corporate space. In her own words, “It is time for employees to prioritise their wellbeing. How will they deliver their best work without it?”
One of her favourite quotes comes from Eleanor Brown, ‘Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel’
