Our story.

Rebekah Lloyd is a women’s health and careers advocate, speaker, and consultant, event and podcast host, and founder of This Independent Life. After experiencing burnout and chronic pain, a 10 year delayed endometriosis diagnosis, and career and financial challenges, she realised she wasn’t alone and started This Independent Life to advance the future of women’s health and careers and to help all people achieve health, wealth and fulfilment in life.

This Independent Life delivers talks, consulting, and events for workplaces and universities, research institutes and startups, conferences and communities. Using the awareness, knowledge and action framework, This Independent Life has now helped thousands of people around the world.

Rebekah is a UN Women UK delegate and is deeply passionate about social impact and the power of business as a force for good. This Independent Life is proud of our corporates supporting community approach and brand partnerships that not only support our clients CSR, ESG, and SDG goals but our This Independent Life pro bono, community and advocacy work.

This Independent Life hosts a first-of-its-kind conference on the Future of Endometriosis and Women’s Health, has been featured internationally including The Guardian and Nasdaq, and was recently invited to advise the UK Parliament Women and Equalities Committee for the Government Women’s Health Inquiry as a result of our work that was broadcast globally on the BBC.

Why.

In 2023, your life trajectory is still determined by many factors outside of your control, including where you’re born. And if you’re a woman, despite making up over 50% of the population you are still underserved, underrepresented, and undersupported throughout your life.

Traditional education is falling short when it comes to health, work, and money, societal issues and challenges are systemically deep rooted in these areas, and many public and private institutions and organisations aren’t supporting people to make positive change.

As an example, only 8% of FTSE 100 companies have women CEOs, just 10% of women have a stocks and shares ISA, and only 43% of women are correctly diagnosed by the healthcare system.

The ripple effect is real. It’s time to make positive change a reality, for women and everyone in society. And that's where This Independent Life comes in.

Framework.

Our This Independent Life learning framework and approach is a result of over a decade of personal, professional and lived experience, a deep knowledge base and scientific evidence-based insights of each area, real world examples and data, and a focus on learning and innovation. We provide pragmatic and tangible steps for people to make real change in their health, work, and money and, ultimately, their life.

 

Health

Health is a fundamental part of being alive. Learn how to listen to your body, acknowledge undiagnosed issues or pain mentally and physically, and how to navigate and advocate for yourself in the healthcare system to get help and stop your health from holding you back in life.

Work

How you spend your time, professionally and personally, should bring you joy, fulfil you, and challenge you in the right way. From impostor syndrome and personal branding to burnout and boundaries, learn how to tap into your you-ness to thrive in your career, and life.

Money

Let’s face it, money helps you live your life. Learn how your money mindset is stopping you from growing as an individual, how to gain financial literacy to expand and sustain your wealth, and how to become financially independent and live life on your terms.
