The author is a career writer and staunch advocate of following her bliss. She has always loved reading self-help and personal growth books, which she was introduced to by a friend during a metaphorical bump in the road. The book she was loaned at the time put her in the driving seat to help herself when life suddenly pushed her into the wrong lane. Brett was born in Sydney, Australia, but she currently lives in southern England. She has dual nationality and has spent her life living and working in both countries. She began her writing career as a TV reporter and newsreader before 'going to the other side' and working in politics as a media advisor to cabinet ministers. She also published many articles in popular magazines at one time and has worked in public relations. A desire to work from home, so she could spend more time with her beloved dog, Daisy Boo, saw her ultimately establish a successful business as a family celebrant. Brett loves things that make her happy and they include, but are not limited to, overseas adventures such as climbing volcanoes and swimming with sealions and sharks. This is something she did daily during a trip to the Galapagos Islands to celebrate a milestone birthday. She also likes the surrealist artist Salvador Dali and world cinema. Meditating, gardening, nature, animals and chocolate. She adores her family and friends around the world as well as her golden Labrador Retriever.
