After a wee summer break Happy Thistle is back with Woody chatting to her gorgeous friend and mentor Sarah Dunning.

Sarah was a professional dancer but after suffering a horrendous neck injury was forced to retire in her 20’s from the only thing she knew.

After struggling with what she was going to do Sarah  was introduced to network marketing and is now one of the top earner’s in her company, Arbonne.

She’s a mum of 3 and is now also a property and business investor and after many years of being terrified of public speaking she now actually describes herself as a ‘Public Speaker’ ...she credits this to self development  and having a morning routine!

Today’s episode of Happy Thistle covers a hugely sensitive topic. Teenage suicide. I met Jane Macdonell last year and was struck by her incredible resilience, strength, unbelievable courage, lust for life and attempt to still try and be happy.  How is this possible I kept asking myself?  Jane was dealt the cruellest of all blows as a mother.. the death of her 19 year old son Harris through suicide.

With the support of her husband Dave, their three children, friends, family and local community Jane gets up every morning to tackle life. They set up the ‘Harris Trust’ ~ a charity to raise awareness and provide training around neurodiversity and mental health in the Scottish Borders.  They’ve organised ceilidhs, runs, concerts. Ultimately it’s all about helping prevent what happened to them happen again to another family.

Jane’s mantra is: ‘Try to find something that gives you joy every day. It can be a very small thing but you can find it. ‘

I cannot express how in awe I am of this woman. You will need tissues.
