She's the registered psychologist who went from working with offenders in drug and alcohol clinics to coaching leaders in boardrooms. Shirall Silulu, founder of Honouring Minds, shares how a curious kid who made her mum label every item in the kitchen ended up specialising in trauma and attachment, and why she now believes most leadership is performance.

Shirall's Quick Fire Answers

What does success mean to you?
"It's not an external thing for me. It's reaching a point of having enough. Enough money where I don't have to worry about things, enough love, enough happiness, enough joyful moments, enough time, enough space. I've got enough."

What does happiness mean to you?
"Beautiful moments of deep connection, where nothing else exists in the world and the only thing that exists is what's happening right in front of you. Whether it's with my kids, my friends or my husband, I can feel it in every single cell of my body. And it's not there all the time."

What's your normal morning routine these days?
"I'm a co-sleeping, breastfeeding mother, so I've often got two children in the bed with me. In whatever capacity I have, I try to connect in with myself first with a few minutes of automatic writing. Then I get up about six, have a coffee and breakfast with the kids. My husband and I have designed our lives so we're both usually home in the morning."

What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see?
"You are here for a purpose, and life will test you in ways that also help you to remember what your purpose is."

Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show?
"My friend Dr Hayley Quinn, also a psychologist on the Sunshine Coast. She works particularly with women in leadership, helping them with capacity, mindset and self-care. She's very wise."
