Six Minutes That Changed My Life

A journey of hope from collateral damage to collateral beauty

If you lost a loved one, would you be prepared for the process of wrapping up a life? Nikki Bush’s Six Minutes That Changed My Life talk will provide you with insights into her story, her approach to growth through trauma and loss, practical steps you need to take when someone passes, and her invaluable What If File document list.

Media personality, parenting speaker and best-selling author Nikki Bush, brutally lost her husband in late 2017 after intruders entered their home in the early hours of the morning. This is her story.

In this talk, Nikki shares her approach to the journey with grief – something we all experience every day in some form or another, whether you have lost a loved one, a marriage, a job, a fortune, a business or anything else.

Loss, grief and mourning are part of the human condition, but we regularly sweep them under the carpet all too quickly, with little exploration and self-discovery, despite the pain. In the process we give away all the learning, growth and possibilities that loss can bring.

Be inspired as Nikki opens a private door to some of the highlights and lowlights of her journey, thus far, that are reshaping who she is as she rebuilds her life and her family, moving on from tragedy. You will leave better prepared for potential loss of any kind including her very important practical advice on how to put your essential ‘What If File’ together.

Most of us are unprepared for this journey. Women, in particular, are under-prepared and suffer the additional indignity of becoming ‘invisible’ to the bureaucratic system that awaits, because of their gender.

“Nikki, thank you for choosing to use your voice to help others in similar circumstances who can’t.” Graeme Richards, presenter, Expresso SABC3.

To kick off Women’s Month in 2018 I was invited to do a presentation about the six minutes that changed my life last year. To begin with, I wondered whether I could do it, as it is such a private matter at a time when I was, and still am, very raw. But I accepted it as part of my journey to healing and realised that I could help others to reframe loss as well as to practically prepare for loss, by opening a private door to my journey so far. In preparing for this daunting presentation, little did I know that my visual framework for loss would emerge. The Collateral Repair™ Journey, as I like to call it, is already making sense to others, helping them to deal with losses of any kind. We all need to be able to see the collateral beauty in the collateral damage of our lives so that we can heal and move forward. It was a very humbling moment and a privilege to share my story.

Thank you to Chas Everitt International and their amazing team not only for putting the event together, but for their respect and support for women.
