Lily Pepperall shares how from the worst situations you can always take positives

My guest today is Lily Pepperall, director of One Life; Live It; Fulfil It. 

Lily escaped from the war of Yugoslavia with a six-month visa at the age of 18 and came to the UK where she stayed. Some 30 years later after working in the corporate world, helping other people to find work, then working in adult education after being made redundant she decided to take a year out. Unfortunately that didn’t happen due to family illnesses and deaths.

Eventually she decided to rebuild her life, using the skills that she’d built up over the years, including the resilience that she’d had to develop living in a country alone with no family.  Last year she set up her own company, One Life.

Lily retrained as a life coach, because she has a lot to offer and share with people. She wants to help people who are just surviving in their lives, but not necessarily fulfilled. So, she helps people to get work-life balance; helps them to deal with traumas, or helps them to live their best, satisfying life. She wants people to understand that we have all got a choice and we can either be a victim or get on with life and embrace skills that will empower us to move forward.

She also talks about how since childhood she has loved being in nature, and having moved to live on a farm she is enjoying gardening and how much beautiful nature is on her doorstep. Lily shares how important nature is, in terms of our well-being, and how she incorporates walking and talking into her coaching offers.

Having moved to a new country herself, Lily talks about how difficult and scary it is. She works with the Harbour Project in Swindon to support asylum seekers, particularly women recently arriving in the UK.

As you’ll hear, Lily is also going to be working with me in the future on one of my new projects.
