Pru Corrigan, One Daydream PR

-
“This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." ~ William Shakespeare

I spoke with Pru Corrigan this week for the inaugural Dreamers Caravan podcast. 
Exciting!


About Pru ~ 

Pru juggles business with being a mum and a wife and everything that goes with that and still appears to be quite sane! Not sure how she does it really, except that I do... There's a method to staying sane while going after life with both hands. 

Pru takes life by the scruff of the neck. It can be a bit scary, really! :D
But life for her has not always been this way. She went from wondering whether she even deserved to be in PR, to creating a thriving business, being highly sought after and crucially I think, loving it!
 Takeaways from the interview ~

 * Change your thinking. 

 Pru shared her experience of feeling lost as an entrepreneur when she became a mother. She described it as tough going. I'm sure she's not alone in that!. 

* Having a career of your own is achievable as a mum.
 
 Being a mum and an entrepreneur can be a difficult thing to manage, but Pru wants people to know it's possible and actually has a positive impact on her role as a mother. She wants her daughter Billie to know having a career of your own is achievable as a mum.

 “I truly believe you have to make yourself happy for everyone else to feel happy as well. If mum’s coming home because she’s happy with her life, it’s a good place to be and we have a lot of fun.”


* The people we have around us make a huge difference.

"Find someone you trust to talk things through with", Pru says, "You need someone to bounce off what is right and wrong, we need good people around us and good mentors. 
Find people who can grow your mind."

 * Be genuine

At the heart of this is being authentic. "I was having genuine conversations", Pru says,
"Knowing who you are and loving what you do is a big part of life. If you do something you love, it makes a huge difference. Be yourself!"

What if the Feeling's Gone?

New beginnings are awesome. A new space, a new life, whatever that looks like... it's the juice of life! We need them. But what do you do when the gloss wears off and they're not like new any more? I love old pairs of jeans. You can buy them like that, but they're even better when you wear them in. You treasure them, because of the process - You invested in them. Slow days can be good days when you can see down the track. When you have a vision and purpose,  the mundane everyday's of life don't have to be dull. You can take a break for a moment & enjoy life a little. "Without a vision, the people perish" wrote the wisest of men in history. What is it you want? Where is it you're headed? Life is good when you can answer these questions :)

Where to Begin

In life's frustrations and in its turmoil, it's not easy to know where to begin to turn things around. Turning around is where to begin. If things aren't going as we want them to, our tendancy is to look at our circumstances. Obviously something outside of us has to change! haha! The truth however, gentle reader, is that our outer experience is a reflection of our inner world.  If you truly want things to change, you have to start with you. I could espouse on the workings of this, but might save you the trouble and simply point to where to begin. Begin with gratitude. You may not like to hear it. It may be the hardest work you will ever do, but our thoughts impact our actions and our actions our experience; your circumstances if you like... This is not to say it is your fault. Take heart! You are not alone. It is the struggle of every human being on the planet. If you can find things to be grateful for, even small things, especially small things , you will star

The Power of Authenticity

In a world where image seems to count for so much, self image is the bottom line. How many stories have been told of one sacrificing one's self, for the sake of the approval of others? It's never enough and in the end they get sucked dry. Anyone relating here? The good news is, there is a way back, a way through, a way over the hurdles life throws at us. It's as simple as being loving. It might sound corny, even offensive, but try not to throw the baby out with the bath water... All of the shoulds and have to's, regulations and assessments, good and bad, can be summed up in two things - "Love the Lord (your Source) with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul & love your neighbour as yourself." ~ Matthew 22.37 Sounds impossible doesn't it? It is, without grace. More on this down the track. As you pore over what is and isn't working in your life, as we do, getting back to source is as simple as being grateful. A quiet whisperin
