Guest Barb Ashcroft on Finding (or Rediscovering) Your Life’s Purpose | HR42

Barb Ashcroft is a mentor, an encourager, and a thought changer. On the journey of your life, Barb can help with a mid-course correction to multiply the chances for improvement in all areas of your life, whether personal, physical, or your career. She is always looking for individuals with a desire to grow, to change their current ‘normal’. She asks, “Are you ready for some self-development and confidence building?”

As a natural leader, she has learned a great deal about mindset, attitude, and positive thinking. With a desire to raise people up to their full potential, she helps shift people’s belief in themselves. She asks “Are you ready to lose your frustrations and fears?

As Barb says, “Your mind is your biggest barrier to an optimum life.” Through programs, events, and workshops, she helps her clients unearth what might be holding them back from a more fulfilled, vibrant, and healthy life.

About the Guest – Barb Ashcroft

Barb had her own reasons to find wellness. Early in her career, after a myriad of surgeries and serious health issues she was worried she wouldn’t be able to raise her small children. Fortunately, she loved to learn and, as it is said, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” With years of training in different wellness modalities, combined with a life-long application of personal development, she was led to explore about Natural Health. These helped her reclaim her health, joy, sense of purpose, peace in relationships, and pride in her accomplishments. Barb has paid it forward, and now helps others solve their health issues; in many cases as a life-changing experience.

Barb is the author of When Your Bucket List Springs a Leak: Do-overs, Undo’s and Life Preservers when travel, business and life don’t go as expected, available on Amazon.
