Our conversation continues as writer and entrepreneur Sheena Hemens begins with sharing how she "fell into" business and ended up in an unguarded realization of the reality of grief, love, and the meaning of success after everything "fell apart" in 2023.

Sheena Hemens speaks on the rise of her events company, the community heartbeat of her Christchurch restaurant, and the brutal closing of doors post COVID, followed closely behind the unthinkable—her daughter Lauren’s death.

Sheena is now evolving into realising the things that truly matter in life - those closest to her. Sheena shares how self-therapy, like writing and walking on the beach have helped her to ride the waves of grief.
