Deirdre Maloney Episode
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Deirdre Maloney. Deirdre is an author, serial entrepreneur and a competitive cyclist based in Oro-Medonte, Ontario . In this episode we discuss life balance, trauma and healing, cycling, marriage and support systems.
I am a homeschooling mom to 3 of 4 kids. We live in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. Near Horseshoe Valley. My husband and I are avid competitive cyclists. Im the founder, title sponsor, and Team Captain of Canada’s largest all female competitive cycling team, HighGate Racing.
I’m the co-founder of a women’s support group in Barrie.
My husband and I have achieved financial freedom through savvy Real Estate investments, both personally and in business. We own a successful Property Management company and Real Estate Brokerage in Toronto, HighGate Properties.
We travel with our kids 4-5 months out of the year for pleasure.
I had a tough start to life, experiencing different sexual abuses at a young age. These experiences really warped my self worth. By the age of 12 I was drinking alcohol, by 14 using softer drugs, by 16 using hard drugs.
I was introduced to the sex trade just before I turned 17, and spent just over a year there earning money to fuel my drug addiction. I did not complete HS, and found myself pregnant at 18. I managed to stay clean from drugs until my daughter was 3, although my relationship with her father was completely dysfunctional, as he remained an addict and spent half of our relationship in prison. He left me when I was 23 and to this day it’s one of the best things that ever happened to me.
I started using again and finally had a wake up call at the age of 25, completely straightening out my life, using The Secret to start helping me align with what I really wanted in life.
I get married to my soul mate, and have 3 more kids. The shame and fear of my past life sitting heavy on my heart, I eventually have a mental health breakdown during my 4th pregnancy. This ignited THE healing journey.
I’ve learned so many tools along the way to keep me well balanced, and I’ve written a book (currently in editing) to be released in September. It covers my journey, start to current point and will help women overcome their own fear and shame and start living a more wholehearted, authentic life.
