Business pioneer and archetypal 21st century woman, Fiona Price, will be, I can safely say the newest author on your shelf. Written by the first woman of finance*, the book explores the ultimate relationship any person could have – the one with themself.
Fiona describes anecdotally a new way of thinking and being, which allows the reader to step out of an old ‘problem-reaction-survival’ paradigm, and embrace a more elegant consciousness, enabling them to be a bigger, grander version of themself.
She says, “With awareness and practice, I have learned that it is possible to change the mindsets that hinder us and refocus our thoughts to up our game and claim our personal power. Then we can become a conscious creator in our life.”
The Ultimate Relationship is a kaleidoscope of survival strategies for life, business, and just about everything. Fiona’s experience is profoundly personal and honest, and she narrates it through a collection of journals, blogs, talks, articles, poems, affirmations, insights and epiphanies. The takeaway is a treasure-trove of wisdom and a myriad of practical ways to think smarter, act smarter, and be more balanced and peaceful amidst the chaos of life.
Fiona brings a uniquely female perspective to her business experience, having worked with women in the financial sector and participated in the early days of the women’s networking movement. From how to improve your decision-making, to how to restore your mojo, develop your intuition, harness the power of thought, create health and healing, get more out of your food and fitness, and develop a deep connection with animals and nature, Fiona inspires you to think and act differently.
She says, “I have learned that the ultimate relationship is the one with yourself”. What you think and how you respond to every situation defines who you are and what you experience. Realising this is the easy part, living it is much harder.”
Fiona’s story includes 20 years in the financial sector, where she pioneered a cutting-edge woman’s business and was a spokesperson in the media. This was followed by several internet video start-ups in the first days of video online. Also, consultancy, mentoring and non-executive directorships. She was listed in the Top 100 List of Power and Influence in Financial Services in 2003 and 2004 and won numerous business women’s awards. Sport has also featured strongly in Fiona’s life, and has competed in two sports internationally, alongside her business interests.
So what changed?
She did, going from ‘city professional to semi-feral’, living reclusively for a number of years in the wilds of Wales. More recently, Fiona underwent another transformation and is now living on wheels, whilst travelling.
“The book tells my story from the inside out. It explains how I have worked on taking control of my mind, body and my world. It is part narrative, part insight, woven into a guide to practical spirituality, and interlaced with quantum psychology, which, I hope, will help the reader to become more of who they are and create more of the life they want. We are at a turning point in history, which is also a chance to reinvent our world. But we need to think and act differently in order to do this. It requires a combination of creative intuitive intelligence, recognising our true power and connecting with the natural world.”

Readers’ Plaudits
Fiona has untangled the how, why and where of being your own greatest support system, with razor-sharp honesty and self-introspection. Not a journey that many of us are brave enough to undertake. But with her support and words of wisdom, it becomes possible. That is why everyone needs to read this book. Not only is this a book to devour, but you can dip into it to find comfort and fortitude when weakened by everyday life. To have Fiona’s experience and honesty is a godsend. Literally!

What a great title! Within minutes, I was engrossed and read the book in two days. Fiona offers amazing clarity about how to take charge of your life. I was lost, and her words rescued me. They helped me to understand the negative influences and thoughts that I had been unable to decipher. Therein lies Fiona’s power and wisdom. Rather than hide, you have to face what makes you unhappy or seems confusing, and turn it into a tool which you can use to your advantage.
Josey Evans
Fiona’s book is a poetic recognition that there is no path, no route map for us all to follow. Rather, our path is made by our own understanding.
Mark Parkinson
I cried reading this book because it rang such a deep toll within me. It also made me smile. This book will change the mindsets of so many women who feel that life is happening to them, not for them. It gives you the self-knowledge to change all of that.
Deb Graham
A pure delight for anyone with the ambition to live well, play hard and run a successful business. As a former athlete and a business owner myself, Fiona’s anecdotes and insights resonate with me. There are daily actions we can all take based on her experience, which will help us live life to the fullest. Bring an open and curious mind to this book and wallow in the enlightenment.

Having worked with Fiona for a while, I was keen to get my hands on this book. My only regret is that I wasn’t brave enough to ask her about the concepts contained within a decade ago. But as the saying goes, ‘when the student is ready, the teacher will appear’. Fiona’s background as an athlete and a successful business woman gives credibility to the principles contained in the book. She is living proof of the approach to life she writes about.
