18. Reclaiming your power with Penelope Tremlow

Imagine if your most challenging journey became a mission that would change the world...
Penelope Twemlow made a huge life shift building a career after the Navy. While, publicly, Penelope did all she could to keep it together. Privately, she was fighting a battle that no one knew anything about. 
In a candid conversation with our host Lauren, Penelope shares her remarkable journey from joining the Navy, to fighting a war behind closed doors, to today where she encourages women to reclaim their power.
As a renowned speaker, author, and national ambassador for organisations focused on domestic violence, mental health, and veteran support, Penelope is a shining example of how your life — and the world — can change when you make the decision to summon your courage and build the door you need.
In this episode, we speak with Penelope about: Where her motivation comes from, and how she's able to juggle a busy life and career.  Her transition from military to civilian life — and the support available for veterans.  The darkest moments in her health battle (and the importance of an inclusive society); and What her toughest days taught her about legacy.
