Gold Coast Women in Business Early Risers Mothers Day Breakfast

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Magnificent Breakfast in five star luxury

Our celebrity guest star is one of Australia’ most well-known Queensland mothers and high achievers – the unstoppable Karni Liddell .

A woman who never thought she would become a mother!

As a Paralympian, businesswoman, commentator, writer, counsellor, fundraiser and disability champion and new mother, Karni speaks to thousands of audiences around the world, encouraging them to think differently about how our choices in life shape our health, our success, and our attitude, despite whatever life circumstances we were given.

Karni has an infectious and unique attitude on life and is able to deliver powerful, authentic, downto-earth presentations capturing her experiences of living with a progressive debilitating muscle wasting disease and being labelled as a person who would not live past her teenage years.

She encourages people to believe they too can ‘have a crack’ at life no matter what their life circumstance are, as she chose to be an elite athlete despite being born with a muscle wasting disease. She chose to be a swimmer even though she is unable to lift her arms above her head. Karni’s life has been about having the will to prove what her body can do, even though she was told that her body would progressively waste away and that she would lose the ability to walk and breathe independently by her teenage years.
