Your gift, your talent…
If you knew beyond a doubt that there was something you could do that would
make a difference to someone else’s life in a positive way, would you do it?
And if there was the absolute knowledge that in changing someone else’s life you would cause a ripple effect that helped others to make a difference in other people’s life in a positive way, would you take the action required?
If you have answered yes to one or both questions the next question is simply…
Then why aren’t you living your fullest life, discovering or rediscovering your dreams and fulfilling your goals?
Inside of you are the tools that can bring the kind of changes mentioned above into reality. Sometimes you might even get close to seeing the effect you can have, like when you comfort a friend or when you give sound advice or maybe when you just love without a second thought of pain. In those moments you touch someone else deeply. You may well be totally oblivious to it but it remains.
- So how would it feel to make that kind of impact repeatedly, consciously?
- How would it feel for you? How would it feel for the other person/people?
- Think about it and conjure up an image of YOU saving someone from their worse day, worse thoughts or worse life experience. What does it look like?
Too many people leave this life with their dreams locked deep within them, buried under the monotony of ‘day to day’ living, never expecting too much and never giving more than required. Their dreams are unused and undiscovered wrapped in fear of failure, complacency and indifference.
Are you willing to do things differently? Are you willing to search out your gift and share it with others?
I ask you to do nothing immediately other than ponder the questions; take them as food for thought. Think about the people in your life who might benefit from your gifts; partner, family, children and friends as well as the wider community. You are as big as you dare to dream… so dream in huge Technicolour screens…
ACTION TIP:
Write down your passions, the things that stir you; the things you long to do but keep putting off or try to bury as unimportant. Look for any connections, any meaningful threads in the list. These may provide some insight into what you have to give, your gift.
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’
