“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.” – Lewis Carroll
You’d think escaping violence in your home country and arriving in the UK with just £300 and not knowing a soul would be a pretty high-stakes moment for anyone. But for Sue Harper, it was being in a job and feeling like she should be doing something else that were the highest stakes of all.
It takes courage to leave a well-paid job you know isn’t right for you and pivot to something you’re passionate about… especially in your 50s and particularly if you want to go it alone. But taking that leap of faith has been well worth it according to Sue.
Here’s why you need to tune in 🎧
