Born to very young parents with a mother that turned 17 two months after she was born, by the time she was 11 years old she had moved 41 times, which resulted in a lot of disruption in her life, and the need to be self-sufficient.

When she herself became a mother to her second son she reached out for support to address her internal belief systems after putting too much pressure on herself as a mum, trying to be a perfectionist.

In this episode Terry talks about the difference between professional success and personal happiness, what can lead to stress and burnout, the importance of the mirror test and taking the time to invest in yourself and valuing your own worth.
