THE HEADLINES:

A lot of business owners have experienced trauma or suffering and we talk about how we can use that to pay our strengths forward.  As Dani launches and runs the #FlyAnyway Foundation, we speak about how domestic abuse and domestic violence doesn’t just affect women.  We discuss how domestic violence is portrayed in the media and the effects that can have on the voices of victims and survivors. 

THE WHO: In this super raw and honest conversation Nicki talks to Dani Wallace, CEO and owner of the #FlyAnyway Foundation, a non-profit organisation helping the survivors of domestic abuse and domestic violence and fearless leader of the I am the Queen Bee movement. 

THE WHAT: Nicki & Dani have been friends for a long time after meeting in Malta on a business trip, where Dani really started her journey as the Queen Bee. They discuss how Dani, on paper, could have had a life that turned out very differently but had that inner fire in her belly to not be a subject of her past as she grew her public speaking and coaching business, in order to follow her dream to support domestic abuse and violence survivors. In this episode Nicki & Dani talk about how so many people’s voices get taken away when suffering trauma of any kind and how it’s in those moments that the #FlyAnyway Foundation provide support to rise back up and find their place in the business world. 

THE WHY: In this episode, we discuss how so many entrepreneurs have experienced trauma and abuse and how it becomes a catapult to pay our strengths forward. We discuss recent subjects in the media (Depp vs Heard) and how we believe they should be handled as personal brands and also shed a light on our joint mission to ensure that people are seen and heard and use their voices to help others know they are not alone.
