If I didn’t realise it before I certainly do now; doing what you love matters! 
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been on a mission to connect the dots and ensure my business reflects me and my passions. It was something that I originally thought was going to be difficult as I have a number of diverse loves. But as usual, the universe made sense of it all and has brought the thought to life!
What are my passions?
- Training, coaching & mentoring; interlinked but different. Being able to use these tools to enable and support my clients ensures they have a positive experience with me. They get the right type of help when they need it and so ensuring I continue my learning & development is key in delivering these services at a high level.
- Fitness; health & well-being have been part of my life since the age of 19 (excluding school). I spent most of my 22 years as an employee in the fitness business one way or another. I took up trained figure competitions in my 30s and have continued to enjoy looking after my well-being. Finding a business model to merge in with my existing business that allows me to help others live a more healthy & fun-filled life is a true blessing; more news on that to follow as I retrain and get all the ducks lined up in a row!
- Writing; this is something I have enjoyed since working for myself. Writing books, articles and training materials provides multiple ways to express my thoughts, opinions and knowledge. Getting to share it is empowering.
- Music; okay, I haven’t quite worked this one out yet but I do listen to music when I am writing and working out. It lifts me and puts me in a positive place… I love it!
Why Do They Matter?
Knowing my passions and finding ways to bring them into my daily life, business and personal, means I get to look forward to each and every day. I can’t remember the last time I woke up and thought “oh no, I’ve got to go and do…..”; it doesn’t happen.
My Tip
Identify your passions. Find what you love and find ways to bring more of it into your life. You deserve to wake up feeling happy with the day ahead. You deserve to live a life that lifts your spirits. Why would you want to settle for anything less?
Doing what you love matters, not only for your personal enjoyment but it also means you are likely to give 100% of yourself to what you do, ensuring your customers have a great experience too. Now that’s what I call a win-win worth striving for!
Live Blissfully

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’
