Challenges are part of life's journey; it's time to turn things around and flip the script on courage.

As part of the Insider Watch Challenge, Lei shares how she connected with nature and her youth to start her own business and help her mental health and wellbeing.

To ground myself and reconnect, l often seek peace in nature, which helps me to clear my mind. As a child in Sweden, I loved gathering herbs in the forest and the neighbouring fields. I had my little notebook to guide me, drying and creating blends with the plants I collected. Fast forwarding many years I now create and sell my own tea blends.

But it took me a long time to gather the courage to start selling them and to stop listening to the old voices from people who told me it would be too difficult and I shouldn't do it. Saying That won't pay your rent! I don't do this to get rich; I do it out of the love and passion I have for tea.

Connecting with nature is good for your mental healthHow do you connect with yourself?

Although I don't cultivate and grow all my own herbs (which would be super cool!), I source most of the plants from a quality-focused and environmentally friendly farm in Wales. I also connect with wholesalers for fine green tea from China and Rooibos from South Africa.

So, when I need to connect with myself, you'll likely find me wandering the woods with a notebook, lost in daydreams. If daydreaming were a sport, l'd probably win a gold medal! (And even better if the forest or field has a lake).

Have you got a place where you can ground yourself, where you can connect to you? You haven't got to answer here.

And have you ever had to find courage to follow your passion or make a difficult decision?

I am sharing this story because I'm doing the #InsiderWatchChallenge along with others. It reminds me that I can turn things around and symbolises how far I have come despite the hardships (see previous post).
