Vesna shares her incredible journey and I also share with you the exact steps you need to take, if you’re keen to shift your talents into a new and exciting space.

It's such a pleasure to have the amazing Vesna Hrsto on today's show. Vesna is a naturopath by trade and despite enjoying much success in her career of choice, owning and managing three clinics between 2000 & 2009, Vesna made a bold move in 2012 to change careers and launch a holistic online life coaching business. Now I won't give too much away about what brought about the shift in her life and how she transitioned so successfully, I will say though, just quitely, she nailed it! Vesna is bringing her talents to the world in a more powerful and innovative way.  She's a woman on a mission and she lives a purposeful life that creates sustainable change in the lives of thousands of clients. I had a pleasure of meeting Vesna through her women's reinvention project which was a really incredible online summit that she ran, and hopefully we get a chance to talk a little bit about that, and she was helping women, as the name suggests, to reinvent themselves. And here she is the amazing woman herself. So welcome on the show!

Oh you live up to all of that and more. So let's start by, and I always like to hear the journey of someone's career from the early days, so tell us about your career journey.  I know, having chatted with you offline that you had a pretty clear picture of what you wanted to do with your life from a young age. So talk to us about how you understood from was, even as young as primary school or high school? And then tell us a little bit of a story about your journey from then up until now.

Okay, so when growing up as a kid our family was raised on homeopathic medicine and we always went to a naturopath.  My mum was very much into the alternative healing and so instead of, you know, going to the doctor, we pretty much always saw naturopaths. And just from a young age I was very sporty and I took my sports quite seriously and wanted to get an edge and have better performances so I took an interest in nutrition because I thought fueling my body and nourishing my body gave me more strength and gave me more power. That started the journey and I became quite fascinated with the human body, particularly foods that that can nourish the body and then from there it moved in to homeopathics and herbal medicine so by the time I entered High school, I already knew what I wanted to do. It just felt like my calling. So when I finished high school that's exactly what I did.  Now when I talk to people from High School and I say "I'm a naturopath now" and their like "Oh wow, of course you are!" like it was so obvious to people.
