Fiona felt her story could inspire and help to change their life.THIS IS ME - I'm Adopted. Fiona talks about her experiences being adopted as a child, her struggles with fertility, and how life went full circle when she adopted her daughter.Fiona hopes that by sharing her story she can let people know that whatever the challenge, there is a pathway through the dark times.

On both reading what you can and determining yourself to write every day regardless of how you feel. Get someone alongside you that’s not afraid to tell you your writing is not great and work towards making it great. Invest in yourself" - wise words!  Useful linksGuest: Fiona MylesWebsite: https://www.fionamylesauthor.com/Social media:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-myles-960470226/https://www.facebook.com/fionamylesauthorhttps://twitter.com/FionaMyles5  Ladey Adey: https://www.ladeyadey.com/ Book Academy: https://www.ladeyadey.com/the-book-academy/ Vicky Galbraith - Podcast VA: www.podcastva.co.uk

In this episode, Ladey Adey is joined by Sandra Peachey.Ladey and Sandra met through networking. This episode, recorded on 14th February 2023 - Valentine's Day celebrates the 10th anniversary of the book Peachey Letters – Love Letters to Life. Originating from a blog in 2012, Sandra is celebrating this milestone by recording and releasing her first audiobook. Sandra has always felt she was a writer. As a small child when learning my words, she would imitate her father's grown-up, joined up-hand-writing, creating wobbly, meaningless versions of her own.Sandra confesses an obsession with people-watching. At the age of 11, she read psychology books and would peer over their pages on the bus ride to school, checking out the other passengers, and trying to read THEM, too.As years passed by, Sandra managed to combine a corporate career as a Human Resources expert: managing people, whilst crafting precisely written policies and perfectly polished letters.In her 40s Sandra had a happy mid-life crisis, took a pause from the Corporate world, and trained as a life and business coach. At the same time she became a Director of the Women's Personal Development community 'Damsels in Success' (now known as Simply Sisterhood), running groups in England and Scotland for over 5 years.Nervously, in February 2012 she began a blog called 'Peachey Letters', setting herself the challenge of writing a love letter to the world every day of February. Tip: "My first piece of advice to would be writers is simply to start and keep going! What you write and how you write will depend on why you write. As for me, well - I write for myself, first and foremost. I read broadly in fiction and self-fiction to keep my mind exercised and energised. Whilst there is a temptation to make comparisons, I always remind myself that only I can write the words I write" - Sandra Peachey.Favourite Quote: “So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!”J M Barrie – Peter Pan Useful linksGuests: Sandra PeacheyWebsite: http://www.sandrapeachey.co.ukBook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Peachey-Letters-Love-Life/dp/1908746718/Social media:  https://www.facebook.com/LifeWorkCC/https://twitter.com/SandiePeacheyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-peachey-33813810/ Podcast Freebie: The first five people to email Sandra at sandrapeachey.co.uk confirming they have heard the podcast, will receive a signed, free copy of the Peachey Letters paperback version Ladey Adey: https://www.ladeyadey.com/ Book Academy: https://www.ladeyadey.com/the-book-academy/ Vicky Galbraith - Podcast VA: www.podcastva.co.uk
