Vivienne Smith
Presenter, coach and author of "The Single Mum's Survival Guide - How to Pick Up the Pieces and Build a Happy New Life"
I am a writer, trainer, presenter and certified NLP and hypnosis practitioner. I'm also a Regional Director of the Athena Network, an international business networking organisation for women. My book,"THE SINGLE MUM'S SURVIVAL GUIDE - How to Pick Up the Pieces and Build a Happy New Life" was inspired by my own experiences as a single mother – first with a 3 week old baby and a 3 year old and then later –this time with much older children- as I plucked up the courage to leave my abusive second husband. It is the fulfillment of a long term ambition to turn a negative and distressing experience into an opportunity to help others through similar challenges. Now happily remarried, I live with my husband and two sons in beautiful West Sussex.
