23 years ago, Di Crawford-Errington was a solo mum working two jobs, struggling to keep a roof over her daughters’ heads. Today, she’s built and sold businesses, leads an industry, and been recognised as one of the Top 50 Women in Accounting.... twice.
But this conversation isn’t about titles or accolades.
It’s about the real human story behind them.
In this week's episode of Baskets of Knowledge, Di opens up about the choices, challenges, and changes that shaped her life and how they can shape yours too.
- She talks about the fear and faith it took to start a business while raising two kids.
- She shares how burnout, loss, and grief forced her to redefine success.
- And she speaks with raw honesty about the pivotal choice we all face, whether to keep living for everyone else… or finally choose ourselves.
This isn’t a story of a single breakthrough moment.
It’s a story of countless small decisions, made in fear, courage, and love, that led to a life of meaning, purpose, and possibility.
Key Takeaways from Di’s Journey:
1. Every moment is a choice. You can’t control what happens, but you can control how you respond and those choices shape your future.
2. You don’t have to do it alone. Support doesn’t make you weaker; it makes you unstoppable.
3. Grief is universal. Feel it fully. Honor it. But don’t stay stuck in it. Healing is a choice too.
4. You are not selfish for choosing yourself. Prioritising your own health, energy, and joy is the most selfless thing you can do for those you love.
5. Stay curious. Keep asking questions. The moment you stop, growth stops too.
This episode is a deeply human reminder that success isn’t just about building businesses, it’s about building a life that matters.
