Cim Bartlett, Founder of Re-discover Your Sparkle

Cim Bartlett has spent most of her professional life getting the best out of people: she is a communications professional and a qualified life coach. She has worked with parents and teenagers, young mums and people from all walks of life. Following a trip to Antarctica Cim was inspired to start the Re-discover Your Sparkle website.

"My own personal journey really started four years ago when I had a kidney transplant. When I recovered from the operation, I really felt like I got my appetite for life back: my Sparkle that had been missing. I realised I had been living my life putting up with things and that what was missing was my Sparkle.”

In March 2008, Cim went on a small expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula. She used the trip as a way to raise money for the UK charity, The Transplant Trust. Not only did it give the trip real purpose, she saw how it was the springboard to giving another purpose to her life.

"I talked with other women, I realised there are probably women all over the world who aren’t getting what they want out of life. As I talked about the missing Sparkle, I saw it hit home. And more than that, something could be done about it.”

“My purpose is to help women to Re-Discover their own Sparkle. To do that you need to find out who you really are. I believe that every individual is on a unique journey. We are all born with a purpose in life and as we grow up, the everyday stresses of life can make us lose sight of who we really are. I think this is especially true of women, and if it’s true of you, I hope this site will help you to get back on track again."

Cim says that you can find your Sparkle without having to go through a serious illness or travel to Antarctica (honest!), which is the reason she started Re-discover Your Sparkle.
