I am so excited to share my fabulous news with you. On the 4th of April I was presented with an Honorary Senior Fellow Award from the Sunshine Coast University, in recognition of my contributions to small business, entrepreneurship and health advocacy.

It means so much to me to be recognised for my contribution in these areas and it humbles me to think of the lives changed as a result of my journey.

I started my Symply Too Good To Be True cookbook series with a heart to help others who were experiencing the same struggles with weightloss as I had.  Many years later, the journey that has resulted has been nothing short of amazing. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined it would have brought me this far.

Throughout the journey I have never lost sight of the real reason for doing what I do and that is to help inspire others to be the best that they can be, whether it be with weightloss or in business.

On the day of the award ceremony, I was surrounded by family (even my 83 year old Mum was there) and friends who made time to see me presented with my award. I am so blessed to be where I am in life and this award is just one more opportunity to stop and be grateful for the wonderful life I have.
