How do you change direction without a map?

By reconnecting to your inner navigation system.

As a successful copywriter for 25 years, Beth Derry has written for and collaborated with clients such as Microsoft, Allianz, and Heineken to help them communicate their impact on people and the planet.

But when she reached her mid-forties, she knew she could trust her instincts.

Instincts that told her she wanted more from life.

As she puts it, “I had had all these ideas and this energy, but I’d been too scared to let it out. However, it no longer felt comfortable to do nothing.”

Sound familiar?

But what can stop us now is what we went through before.

Even if things are uncomfortable, our past can hold us back from shaping our future.

Beth knows all too well how life's difficulties can shape us.

As a teenager and young adult, she faced painful mental health challenges and turned to self-harm as a way to cope.

It wasn’t until decades later, after years of therapy, coaching, and innovative techniques like Havening, that Beth found her way back to herself - and began envisioning a new way of working.

This transformation also meant finding a way to balance responsibilities as a single parent while slowly designing a path that felt more aligned and purposeful.

She joined our Vision 20/20 program.

And she’s moved from being a freelancer to seeing herself as an entrepreneur.

In 2023 she founded Lovely Messy Humans, an initiative dedicated to educating people on the science of being human, focusing on emotional resilience, regulation, and healing from trauma.
