Radio Toni Every Day Business with Christine Stow and Toni Lontis

Christine Stow, Grants Made Easy

Speaker, Author, Community Consultant: When Christine found out something was wrong with her daughter at three months of age, she had to reinvent herself. Since then, she has been Elected to Council, written her story, completed an MBA, established support Programs and a Special School. From Lab Tech, to sales, to Carer to Councilor – she now speaks to Women to find their passion, uncover their purpose and turn it into business gold. Supporting Women to be empowered to make a contribution while working around their responsibilities… to realize their true value. Christine likes to say - Life is all about choices. You choose how you live each day. I chose to wake up & live the best life I can. I can wake up grumpy every day at what life has thrown at me with Imyjens disabilities or I can wake up & embrace each day. It does not make a difference to Imyjen if I am sad or happy - so I might as well be the best I can be. I will not be defined by her disabilities

Good afternoon Christine and welcome to the show, its such a pleasure to have you here as my co host

1. Lets start at the beginning and talk about you and what your life has been like? Growing up, early adult life, etc

2. Can we talk about Imygen and tell Imygen’s story?

3. Can we talk about some of the things you learnt as a National sales Manager?

4. What made you consider a career in coaching?

5. When did start your business and why?

I started business in 2016 when I started coaching. I wanted to get into work. I have a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Business Administration. I have been National Sales Manager with a lot of responsibility, but I could not find a job because of my caring responsibilities. Too qualified for a routine job but not available enough for my old job. I knew that I had skills & abilities just not the traditional 9 - 5 time that employers expect. I wanted to use my skills and help others so I did a coaching course. It was not until I wrote Grants Made Easy that I realized that women had passion & purpose but were not quite finding a way to Ignite that Passion to Bring their passion to life. So Ignite Your Passion was born

6. Tell me all about “Grants Made Easy?

7. What is you mission?

Light up the Pathway to Ignite the Passion of 1000 women in the next 5 years! To see women find their gifts and use them to realize a profit so they can live the life of their dreams, so they can afford those little extra luxuries, take the kids on a holiday, help them buy that house or buy that nice dress you wished you could always afford

8. Who do you help?
