Verity Price beat 30,000 other aspiring speakers to become Africa's first Toastmasters world champion, and the 6th woman in 80 years to win the prestigious accolade. In this funny, honest, sometimes toe-curling episode, Verity tells us her ‘scarytale' of going from a ragged life, to a rich one. 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...). 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. 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. Verity – whose name fittingly means ‘truth' – will inspire you to tell yours.

As a kid I was actively involved in all sports. My Mom bought me my first big wheel and I loved it. I would ride down the street, spinning out, not wanting to go inside. I later upgraded to a bicycle. As an adult, sports became my past time and bicycling has resurfaced. I can now enjoy riding and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, all in one. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wcps/support
