Ep 095: Living the scarytale instead of the dream, and how to rewrite your story, with public speaking champ Verity Price

<p>Verity Price beat 30,000 other aspiring speakers to become Africa’s first Toastmasters world champion, and the 6^th woman in 80 years to win the prestigious accolade.</p> <p>In this funny, honest, sometimes toe-curling episode, Verity tells us her ‘scarytale’ of going from a ragged life, to a rich one.</p> <p>She explains how NOT ticking all the boxes society expected of her by 40 (husband, kids, career, own house, etc) was actually – eventually – the making of her… once she’d figured out how to build her resilience and find her voice. Oh, and ditch the dream of being a Hollywood actress/ popstar. A tricky, but wholly worthwhile road. (A detour that, incidentally, also led to Prince Charming, too...).</p> <p>If you’ve ever not done something expected of you and felt bad about it, or felt you're not living an instagrammable #winninglife, this episode will help.</p> <p>It will also help you reframe painful experiences as opportunities to grow and be less outcome-based and more moment-based. And genuinely enjoy the moment, rather than kid yourself that you are.</p> <p>Verity – whose name fittingly means ‘truth’ – will inspire you to tell yours.</p> <p>You can see her brilliant award winning talk here:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k24vGzEjePo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k24vGzEjePo</a></p> <p>You can find her on Instagram here:</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamverity">@iamverity</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: Verity Price, WCPS</p> <p><a href="http://www.iamverity.com">www.iamverity.com</a></p> <p>To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bigjuicycreativeliving/">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>Facebook <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bigjuicycreativeliving">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzybashfordbigjuicycreative/">@suzybashford</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/suzybashford">@suzybashford</a> </p> <p>contact
