Welcome to The Luminate Collective Podcast, brought to you by AAB Consulting, hosted by Sian Parker. In this series, we capture candid conversations on life, change, leadership, and the world of business.
Beyond their titles, our guests share their life stories, discussing the personal and vulnerable
experiences that have contributed to their success.
In this episode, Sian sits down with Sylvie Douglas, Founding Director of MsMissMrs, an organisation
dedicated to empowering women and fostering self-sufficiency. Sylvie's remarkable journey is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and growth.
Sylvie's story unfolds as a captivating narrative of personal transformation. From her challenging teenage years marked by adversity and poverty, she evolved into a determined woman, fiercely committed to creating a better life for herself and her daughter. Her early struggles instilled in her a sense of purpose and an unwavering determination to break free from the constraints of her upbringing.
Join us as we embark on Sylvie's journey of self-discovery and empowerment, a journey that led her to establish MsMissMrs and make a profound impact on the lives of women facing economic hardships and trauma. Sylvie's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the boundless possibilities that arise when one embraces change with resilience and an open heart.
