“I was determined to create the time and space in my life to discover who I wanted to be and what I wanted to create in my life.”
– Prue Blennerhassett, Business and Life Coach, Make Space Allow Grace
Ten years ago, Prue Blennerhassett found herself dissatisfied while she was working in the cosmetics manufacturing industry. “I was traveling the world but climbing a thankless corporate ladder,” she says. To the outside world, she seemed to be living a glamorous life, but the reality was completely different. “I carried an extra 20 kilograms, rarely exercised, and drank too often. Not only was I physically unhealthy, but I was unhappily single, emotionally starved and energetically depleted.”
Recovering from a Draining Lifestyle
Prue had to accept that her life was a mess. In 2008, she took a short break and went with her mother to India. Little did she know how transformative this journey proved and set her on course for the next stage of her life. The trip opened her eyes to how simple yet profoundly happy and satiated your life could be. “I wondered how could people with so little be so happy,” she recounts. “In contrast, I had seen how unhappy the financially wealthy back home were.”
She returned home but couldn’t shake off the change she observed while in India. It had made a deep imprint on her. Not ignoring the dissatisfaction in the past and acting on her new insight, she took a huge step—she quit her job within a week. Not only that, she moved away from friends and family to Byron Bay. Prue was ready to risk it all to claim her life back and live on her own terms. Prue began a new chapter at the bohemian seaside town on the northern coast of Australia. “I knew it was a huge risk, but I was determined to create the time and space in my life to discover who I wanted to be and what I wanted to create in my life.”
Embracing A New Beginning
The changes she made went beyond a new address. “Since that day I moved to Byron Bay in 2009, I’ve been using what I learned about spirituality, mindfulness, and self-responsibility in my life,” she describes. The result? Prue lost 20 kg, fell in love, ended up in a happy, long-term relationship, and launched a successful business with $10,000 monthly earnings—impressive, indeed! “I found my true passion and my way to make a difference in the world,” she proudly says.
