## Resource

In this powerful episode, Donna sits down with Demi, founder of Noir & Noble , to explore the truth behind her transformation from anxious teen mum to grounded, confident travel expert and business owner. Demi opens up about the early anxiety rooted in a chaotic home life, being bullied at school, leaving education at 15, and becoming a mum at 17. She shares how these experiences shaped her, how they fuelled both her ambition and her self-doubt, and how she reached breaking point in early 2025 - ready to quit the travel industry entirely. What happened next changed everything. Instead of walking away, Demi turned inward, challenged the mindset that had been running her life, and created a complete 360 shift in her confidence, worth and career. This episode is honest, empowering and proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
