Ever since setting up the SMBN I have been like a broken record talking about the amazing women out there doing this solo, and changing public stereotyping is an ongoing effort. I am blown away every time I meet yet another incredible woman, and then another one pops up! I just knew they were out there. I have a queue now of women to introduce who have joined lately, but one at a time – as they deserve exclusive PR and recognition! Meet Donna Easton – Donna is a Joyologist, a laugher, a performer, a people connector, a mindset coach, Founder of ‘LifeShine’, ‘WellMeOke’ (wellness cabaret show) and ‘The Selling with Heart Academy’. there is not much I can say except wow – just take a look at her website and see for yourself!
Here it is: https://mylifeshines.com/
You can connect with Donna on Facebook here and Instagram here
We have a bumper edition of the mag coming out next week, plus awards are around the corner and we are planning to visit member Fay in Spain next year – lots of info on that will be in the mag too! For now, check out Donna, I will welcome her to our closed members only group, and watch this space for Ash who I will introduce on Thursday.
