How many times have you thought one or all of the following:
- It’s time to leave this job
- I really want to start my own business
- I’ve got so many ideas – one of them must be worth following through on
- My life needs a reboot
Never? Lucky you!
I know there are plenty of people out there who are having these thoughts on a regular basis. The only problem is it’s a lot of thinking but very little, if any, action. Why?
- What if my family and friends laugh at me or tell me I can’t do it?
- What if no one believes I am capable?
- What if I don’t have the skills and knowledge to do something on my own?
- What if I fail?
Yes, the negative ‘what if’ dream stealer steps in and shines it’s red beam into every nook & cranny of your hopes, your desires and tells you that ‘you are nothing special’.
But wait, what if the positive ‘what if’ were allowed in instead? What if you opened your mind up enough to see the other side of the coin?
- What if I tell my family & friends and just one of them thinks it is a great brave move and is willing to encourage me?
- What if I meet a group of people who also wants to do something new in their life and we decide to support each other?
- What if I develop additional skills and knowledge that help me to bring my dreams to life?
- What if I succeed?
A very different set of questions that provide far more supportive answers!
If you’re going to do the ‘what if’ do it thoroughly. See the negatives and the positives and then ask yourself… ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ It’s not usually half as bad as you imagine and once you know it & can accept it, you are free to get on and take action… one step (or leap!) at a time.
“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channelled toward some great good.” Brian Tracy
What if all your dreams came true?

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’
