When I was invited by the Vegan Business TribeⓇ to take part in a panel discussion: 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙑𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧, at Vegfest London, I literally wanted to make some excuses and run a few miles in the other direction! 🙈 I have never liked public speaking and avoid it like the plague, however, I knew that I would be silly to say no to this, and it would be the wrong thing to do!🫣 I am forever telling my daughters that they can do anything, to speak up even if their voice shakes and to push themselves out of their comfort zones so I knew I needed to listen to myself for once (and in fact my eldest actually reminded me of this!) 🙄 This was my first public speaking event and although I was so nervous on the leadup, I am so pleased I did it. I made so many amazing connections as a result and I appreciate all the words of encouragement from the VBT members. I'm not doing what I'm doing for my sake, I'm doing it for children everywhere, for this beautiful planet and the beings we share it with, and that is what drives me on! 🌍🌱💚🙌 And after all, it wasn't all work and no play...I got to catch up with friends, make new ones, and make more exciting plans for the future! Such a fab weekend full of inspiring conversations and positive vibes at Vegfest UK! The vegan community is AWESOME!
