    SO2 EP2 : Annette Williams

    Annette Williams spent the majority of her working life on the corporate track.   In her late fifties she started to want something different for the next phase of her life …
    … so a few years later she realised a dream; moved to the Jurassic Coast, left corporate life and started a business which would work around her extensive travel plans!
    … on the way she realised, like many women at that stage of their lives, that she wasn’t quite sure exactly who she was meant to be any more
    … with a lot of work, self-reflection and amazing support from wonderful people she rediscovered herself and her purpose
    … she still loves living by the sea, working her beauty and wellness business, has a real drive to coach and mentorpeople, particularly women like her, and to show that it’s possible to start something new and build a flexible business at any stage in life and have fun doing it!

    S02 EP1: Inez Ribustello, Sommelier to Brewer - Life After Windows

    S02 EP1: Inez Ribustello, Sommelier to Brewer - Life After Windows

    Inez Ribustello, got her start in the world of food and wine after moving to New York City to pursue a career in cooking. She chose New York’s Institute of Culinary Education to jumpstart her new path, where she began to learn about wine.
    From there, she worked at Best Cellars, the groundbreaking, mid-priced wine store on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Her wine career took a huge leap forward when she became an Assistant Cellar Master at the renowned World Trade Center restaurant Windows on the World. In a very short time, she was promoted to Beverage Director, putting her in the position as wine buyer for the largest grossing restaurant in North America. 
     
    The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 impacted her both personally and professionally.
    Having lost friends, colleagues, and her job in the attacks, she had to face her future.
    Ultimately she returned to her hometown with her fiancé (now husband), Stephen. Together they opened their own restaurant, wine bar, and retail store called On the Square. The wine list at On the Square holds the prestigious Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator.
    Inspired by Best Cellars, they created a user-friendly, non-intimidating wine list, which was well received by both customers and press in the Eastern North Carolina region.  
    In 2009, Inez was 2nd runner-up in the Best Sommelier in America competition held in New York City. She is a member of the Alumni Hall of Fame for the Institute of Culinary Education and a graduate of the Court of Master Sommelier’s Advanced Exam.  
     
    Inez’ next big venture was Tarboro Brewing Company, a microbrewery that started brewing  in February of 2016.  Almost a year later, she and her husband opened a satellite taproom serving tacos in the Rocky Mount Mills.  
     Stephen and Inez have two 2 children that they absolutely adore.
     
    In September of 2021, Inez released her self-published memoir Life After Windows, a book she has been working on for the past 20 years.

    109: Tracey Howes of Blue Mind Social

    Tracey Howes is a RAID Freediver and Oxygen Advantage Instructor based in the UK. Having grown up near the sea in South Africa, she has always been a supporter of ocean activities that encourage health and wellbeing.  
    Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus. Tracey has competed in the UK British Freediving Association Pool Championships and is a member of AIDA, the worldwide rule and record-keeping body for competitive breath-holding events.
    The powerful breathing techniques she’s learned in her freedive practice prevent anxiety and stress negatively influencing thought processes and performance. This training inspired Tracey to expand her knowledge of functional breathing and enable her to teach others how to breathe efficiently and maximise their physical and mental health. 
    By incorporating functional breathwork techniques into daily practice and training programmes, Tracey’s clients have transformed their breathing habits whether they are training for a marathon or open-water swimming and improved how they manage stress, anxiety and sleep. Clients with sports-induced asthma have seen positive results by implementing gentle breathwork exercises. Tracey has a particular interest in female breathing which differs to male breathing with new scientific evidence supporting this. 
    Tracey is determined to share ‘breathing re-education’ and practical exercises which we can apply in our day-to-day activities with meaningful, measurable and long-lasting results.

It all starts with Mindset

As a fellow network marketing professional. Jean’s story and advice really resonated. It truly is a level playing field with the opportunity for everyone to succeed and flourish if they decide. Find the company that best aligns with your ethics and passion. Start it alongside your current job or business. Have a clear ‘why’ for doing it and then have fun and work hard for your future work life balance.
