In this episode, Fiona Redding sits down with Gillian Viljoen, Personal Freedom Coach - helping people to navigate change and create a life they love to live.

Her passion, purpose and calling is to inspire courage and contribute as she can to the collective human experience as a writer and guide.

As a multi passionate person with two professions, an engineer and a life coach, as well as being a traveller, writer and eternal student, Gillian walks in many different worlds and believes we can really live our lives as we create it and it’s never too late to create change in life and to make it one that suits our own unique selves.

Gillian shares her own journey of leaving a long-term relationship, switching careers, and learning to trust her intuition. This conversation is full of insights on how to integrate wisdom with confidence and how to navigate life’s unexpected turns with grace and courage.

Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence in Midlife:

- Gillian talks about how many people lose confidence as they age, even as they gain wisdom. She encourages listeners to shift their perspective and see midlife as a time for growth and new opportunities.

2. Balancing Structure and Intuition:

- Coming from a background in engineering, Gillian shares how she learned to balance structure with intuition in her personal and professional life.

3. Create visions but release rigid control and expectations:

- Gillian introduces the idea of grieving the future she thought she’d have and learning to embrace the one we’re living now.

4. It’s Never To Late:

- Don’t like where you’re at or how things are going? Reinvent yourself, your potential for growth remains ever-present, the opportunities are always there waiting for us to seek them.
