Running my own business propelled me through the biggest trauma of my life. I was in a hospital bed the day after surgery, a bandage on one side of my face, having had my entire left eye removed suddenly due to rare eye cancer. My husband caught me on LinkedIn. “You can’t stop!” he teased. It’s true, I didn’t pause to take a breath. I continued as if nothing had happened. I plunged myself further into growing my business. And I realise now that this masked the mental struggle that was bubbling within.
