I have been often quoted saying that MasterChef was much more to me than a cooking competition. The 3-month long experience challenged me in many ways that I never expected and the lessons learned during it combined with all my life’s experiences culminated in a speech that I created with the guidance of the amazing Deborah Henley and was invited to deliver to the members of the The British Association Of Women Entrepreneurs at the Lansdowne club in Mayfair.
Sharing my personal struggles and life-long quest for meaning, fulfilment and joy with others created an environment of trust in which they felt safe to expose their own vulnerabilities and the result was a thrilling experience for me. I hope there will be many more opportunities to repeat it.
