[Ep80 OPTC] Pushing the limits and following your dreams with Bec Stone

A story of highs, lows and strength. Bec takes us through her journey in such a ray light that is so easy to relate to if you have, or you know someone who has struggled with mental illness.

Bec’s story started with a Communication Degree at University and then moved into Advertising, Marketing and Publishing but unfortunately she didn’t like any of it. If she had to take her pick her favourite part of working in the industry was always the people particularly when there was a Massage Therapist onsite incase you wanted a cheeky 15 minutes in-between juggling the workload. Bec was inspired by this woman, her life seemed so amazing! It was almost like this woman ignited the fire for Bec and she went on to study her Diploma in Massage while working full time, a qualification she kept in her back pocket until after having her son.

Going from having a new baby, nowhere to live and no job to go back to, fast forward to today where she has her dream job- a successful business that she loves every day, one that brings her so much joy and pleasure connecting with people.

This episode is about life lessons and one that Bec has learnt has been- “taking on only what you can manage and working with that, start there and when you are ready do the next step.” Bec’s career story is a reflection of these true words.

With a new year approaching the timing of this story of inspiration, hope and joy is very fitting. Enjoy!
