Meeting Sir Richard Branson – 10 Year Anniversary

This week marks 10 years since I met you, Sir Richard Branson and we’ve both endured so much in that time, thank you for inspiring me.

Recently Sir Richard, you shared that during tough times, two things that help keep you focussed are time with family and a break from routine.

That really stayed with me as its World Mental Health Day this week.I haven’t seen my family in Australia for five years and they pulled me back after my bipolar episode.

It’s why I’ve been so determined to build a path for burlesque help others find healing but building my creative life and establishing myself in Ibiza has been an experience of tenancity and resilience.

Over the years, I’ve entered every opportunity I could in the hope of securing investment for my business — from Pitch to Rich to Elevator of Dreams and Virgin StartUp events.

Whilst I never managed to secure that investment directly, I learnt so much and I have financed the venture myself. Thanks to the training I learnt with Virgin StartUp and my tourism degree an RMIT University Alumni meet ups, I now have a permanent collaboration with Leonardo Hotels and even launched our dance challenge at Virgin Hotels in 2026.

So, ten years on, I’m asking for a Chritsmas wish. Sir Richard Branson and Simon Squibb might you help me get home for Christmas?
