Why do I race for life?

For my biggest cheerleader, the best strawberry pancake maker, my favouriteer and matching PJ Buddy,

the most forgetful person I know, but the one who makes me feel so happy and calm.

She ran with me in her tummy, with me in the push chair, and now with me by her side.

My mom's name is Crystal and I'm racing for her.

No matter how cancer affects us, life is worth racing for.

partnership with Headland Sponsor Standard Life. This is a global, original podcast. Paul McKenna's

positivity podcast. Hello, this is Paul McKenna and welcome to the positivity podcast. My

objective is to interview the most interesting people in the world and in the next 30 minutes

get insights and even discover how it is that they do what they do, what makes them unique and

fascinating, their success mindset and certainly what keeps them positive.

My guest today is a hugely successful restaurateur, chef, TV star, businesswoman and novelist.

Coming up, I'm talking today with Proulique.

I think the reason I've succeeded is because I'm not really good at taking no for an answer.

I tend to come back. And if I've got an idea and I want to do it, I'll keep going.

Of course, I've had some setbacks, but they've been tiny compared to the successes.

And I had the successes in the right order.

You can't stand up in front of a whole lot of fellows who've elected you

and tell them that they're idiots to have elected you because you're not worth it.

The truth is I have had the luckiest life. I mean, I've had a very happy childhood and I think some of my success must be due to the fact that I'm fairly confident and I'm confident because I was loved as a child and my parents thought I could do stuff.

Hello, Prue.
