Sandy Davies had a dream of being a writer. Through the pandemic in 2020, she started to curate a vision for "The Power to Rise" based on experience with workmates. She wanted to honor incredible women and experience. She was invited to be in "Courage & Confidence What It Really Takes to Succeed in Business" book to honor her mom who was a glass ceiling breaker in the 80's. She was asked by Dr. Tererai Trent, Oprah's favorite guest of all time, to be in the "Sacred Promise" book. She's currently working on her first anthology now which includes 30 writers for "The Power to Rise Above" and will be released 2022. Deslynn Jaquias, the host of Healing with Aloha Podcast, is a contributing writer from Hawai'i.
Sandy survived the loss of her brother to suicide, her parents divorced, then her mother relocated from the U.S.A. to Australia to be with her and her husband. Her mother inspired her to be who she has become as a entrepreneur and a writer. We can have tragedy and heartbreak that we don't know how we will ever get through it, but Sandy notes we all have the power to get through. Everyone's grief journey is unique without a time limit. Gotta give ourselves grace on our grief path. She shares how she processed grieving the loss of her mother.
Long before writing books and launching HappyPause™, Sandy Davies was born and raised in the American Midwest in the state of Kansas. Sandy accidentally ended up in Australia, and stayed. Her mantra is it is never too late and you are never too old.
An allergic reaction to a treatment for intimate dryness during perimenopause launched Sandy out of semi-retirement to become the Queensland based formulator and founder of award winning HappyPause™ Balm.
As a bit of a rebel who struggles taking ‘no’ for an answer, Sandy turned the lack of a simple, preservative-free natural solution for intimate dryness into her mission.
The creation of HappyPause is Sandy’s ‘yes.’ A tiny pearl of HappyPause puts a spring back in your step. Creating HappyPause has brought Sandy unending joy in her second spring.
At every chapter of life Sandy has thrived on giving back as a part of her ethos. In this HappyPause era, Sandy’s Australian Pay It Forward partner is The Period Project working to eradicate period poverty.
When not packaging and processing HappyPause orders and heightening menopause awareness, Sandy has turned her hand to writing. In addition to co-authoring two #1 Amazon Bestsellers, Courage & Confidence What it Really Takes to Succeed in Business and Sacred Promise, Sandy has also created her own anthology The Power to Rise Above. The Power to Rise Above brings together thirty women from across the globe who bravely share their stories of resilience to assure others that they, too, have the power to rise.
Sandy enjoys helping others and spending time with her husband and their rescue dog Karma hunting nautilus shells along the fringing reefs of The Great Barrier Reef at the edge of the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest.
The Power to Rise Above will be available from late 2022.
