Monday was such a phenomenal day. A day of great connections, inspiration most importantly women celebrating women 🔥🔥
As my mentor and dear friend, Bernie Davies says ‘We go together or not at all’. And Miss Bernie truly brought together the most magnificent Change Agents of this world 🔥🔥
We had tears, laughter and all the rest. But to have heard the wonderful stories.
If you weren’t at this mastermind event, then you missed a moment in history that was made by Miss Bernie.

When we ask 'is there more to life than this'?, the Badass Manifesto is the answer. This Masterclass is your guide to sassy badassery for your whole life because you were born to shine, you were born to stand out and you were born to be unapologetically you.

Stephanie Taylor & Nicky Taylor are sassy sisters, certified life coaches and Founders of Blow Up Your Life which helps dynamic leaders over 40 to live their personal lives with the same intention that makes them so successful professionally.
Blow Up Your Life is the antidote to living life by default and regretting the things you didn’t do while waiting for a ‘one day’ which never comes.
After years in financial services working long hours, they had an epiphany moment when their mum was ill and they realised how precious our time is and how important it is to be conscious about the way we spend it.
After decades of thinking that business wasn’t for them. They used their Blow Up Your Life model to transform their lives and they became property investors and developers with an award-winning property management company, HMO Heaven, started Rent 2 Rent Success which has helped thousands of non-traditional investors to get started in property, became authors of the #1 best-selling book Rent 2 Rent Success and hosts of the top 1.5% podcast of the same name, won Inspirational Person of the Year 2021, and have been featured in The BBC, The Telegraph, Business Insider and many others.
They are setting up an accommodation and education trust to help people who struggle to find beautiful affordable homes.
They found their passion and their purpose.
Now their mission is helping others find theirs.

Why "Master Change" & Why A Focus on Women in 2023?
In this post pandemic era, change is inevitable. Accepting and maximising the opportunities that change offers is therefore an imperative. In this Retreat Day 1, Cody Gapare, Desiree Peterkin Bell, Durdana Ansari OBE Eula Clarke Maureen Mandipaza and explored how we've had to deal with change, how we all have seen our worlds changing, what are the potential challenges this new season brings and how we suggest one prepares for it.
Day 2, ALL GENDERS were welcome.
We will rubbed shoulders with like minded dignitaries at the House of Lords, Cholmondeley Room, where we were inspired by Keynote Speakers, Alison Edgar MBE and Lady Anne Welsh, to name a few. Cody, Desiree and I cannot wait to welcome you to the House of Lords next year!
Event History
January 2022, I launched my Your Way Empowerment LinkedIn Live monthly series to offer a platform for likeminded women of any race, colour or creed to share their story, encourage and inspire. Cody and Desiree agreed to become my resident panellists and we had the most fantastic year chewing over some very difficult issues at times, namely the UK Barrister strikes with Dr Sally Penni MBE , Barrister at Law fleeing violence, becoming refugees who now top the field of medicine and science at the world's most prestigious institutions of education and medicine with the Zalli Twins or dealing with Bias with Lisa Durden, and a light hearted modern look at etiquette with Number 1 Bestselling author of "A Dash of Decorum 101 Tips to guide you through Formal and informal Dining Events" Julia Esteve Boyd, consultant to Royalty.
In 2023, I felt it was the natural progression to be able to host an event where women could meet face to face and learn from us and each other. We wanted the venue to reflect the heart and minds of the entrepreneur who is not afraid to dream big and reach for things, places and people outside of the ordinary. We wanted to provide a progamme of inspiration, education and strategic direction. We have an action packed day for you.
