Eloise Wellings on what happens whens dreams and purpose collide

Eloise Wellings on what happens whens dreams AND purpose collide   Having started running at the age of 6, being selected at 16 to represent her country at the Olympics in her home country of Australia in 2000 only to see it taken from her through injury after qualifying and then missing two more Olympic opportunities Eloise Wellings is eminently qualified to talk about setbacks, heartbreaks, dreams and purpose. This conversation will unpack what a real shattered dream looks and feels like and also what finding new hope and purpose inside that experience can be if you’re looking. Eloise talks about how running found a greater purpose after her chance meeting with Julius Achon, fellow Olympian from Uganda, and her passion for humanitarian work through the Love Mercy Foundation. This show is for people who have a dream but need a purpose, have a shattered dream and need some hope and care about both their own success and the success of others.   ABOUT ELOISE WELLINGS: Eloise is a two time Olympian and a nine-time National champion over the 5,000m and 10,000m track events.
