*Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence*

Norah is a gorgeous soul, the “perfect nurse entrepreneur hybrid” as she said herself. I recently heard Norah in conversation while we both holidayed in Spain and knew I needed to speak to her for BeBelle. Norah is an incredible woman! Not only has she had a diverse career, faced many personal challenges but she also gives back so much to women. Norah’s courage to close chapters and her bravery to live life is inspiring.

We cover:
