WE ALL HAVE A STORY, THE STORY WE WANT TO TELL IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS

Our limitations — are bound by the box (cage) we were either born into or adopted along the way. Thinking liminally allows you to not just think outside the box but re-define the boundaries of the box by getting curious about the threshold.

I’m Yemi

Like everybody else on this planet, I have a story and consciously choose to tell the story that sees me not only thrive in life but grow and contribute - noting it starts with acknowledgment.

This requires work and a level of resilience that not only sits in my DNA blueprint but sits in my ability to dust myself off when I fall (spoiler alert!) we all fall.

One vital step to creating the new story I wanted to tell was to acknowledge my pain points (trauma) for it is incredibly difficult to solve problems we won't even acknowledge.

In sharing my story, I understood that belonging is at the heart of the human need. And most of us are still waiting for permission to grab a seat at the table.

When life appeared to be serving me lemons and I mean the sour tasting, awkward face inducing lemons, I had to get really curious about the 'why'. Why was this happening to me, I was clutching onto the victim story that would dis-empower me. It was only when I looked in the double sided mirror that reflected my role in society, did I then realise that I hold the combination to unlock whatever cage I or society thought I should be in.

to evoke empathy we will need to look in a double sided mirror

what i have discovered on my journey

It became frighteningly obvious that nobody was coming to save me and so I got to work on cleaning my trauma and do this daily to ensure I do not pass this on to my children or those I come across in life—it's not for the faint hearted but it's worth it.

In doing the work I have been able to create successful businesses in the U.K. and Australia - most importantly, I no longer chase happiness, it finds me when I am open to receive it.

I was blessed with a great job as an engineer and project manager yet I forever seemed to be chasing happiness. Having been homeless at 24, a single mother to two, I had well and truly earned my hard knock degree.

After relocating to Australia from the U.K, I realised I was on the same hamster wheel I ran away from, this wheel just had a lot more sunshine. Turns out I was running away from myself, and so the invitation came for me to run away again (oh I would have!) or get down to business and look into that double sided mirror.
