And then I was like, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got all this experience, I have all this working knowledge, and I want to package it in a way that gives back, that I&#8217;m passionate about, that I can then invest in different ways.&#8221;&#8216;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pip added that she&#8217;s now prioritising purpose alongside success: &#8216;You always do what you&#8217;ve always done, and you always get what you&#8217;ve always got.

Strong, in control, capable, even unstoppable, a fierce hustler. But behind the scenes I was struggling in a way I couldn&#8217;t explain.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She continued, &#8216;I was exhausted but wired, anxious for no reason, extremely emotional at times that didn&#8217;t make sense. Constantly in a confused state of mind, I felt deeply isolated and misunderstood.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Now both a shareholder and strategic advisor, Pip said her involvement is deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;This is life and it deserves to be understood, supported and spoken about openly. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve joined the team at Biolae and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s a personal journey for me as well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pip&#8217;s career reinvention has also played out publicly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In January, Pip parted ways with Ksubi, shortly after being caught up in the Bondi Beach terror attack on December 14\u00a0 &#8211; an experience that left her shaken.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-72a16b0677251837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/107569023-15693885-Socialite-a-15_1775003775034.jpg\" height=\"953\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Socialite\u00a0Bernadette Sukkar looked chic in a Sir two-piece outfit as she attended the lunch\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Socialite\u00a0Bernadette Sukkar looked chic in a Sir two-piece outfit as she attended the lunch<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-62e8267b6b0118e3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/107569061-15693885-image-a-7_1775003538951.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Michelle Bridges looked bright and colourful in a pair of hot pink high-waisted trousers\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Michelle Bridges looked bright and colourful in a pair of hot pink high-waisted trousers\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She and her friend were left trapped under a van and surrounded by two gunmen during the deadly attack after spending a day at the beach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The P.E Nation fashion designer addressed her harrowing 15-minute ordeal in a lengthy Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She described the attack as a &#8216;crazy, wild, and unnecessarily brutal&#8217; act that unfolded &#8216;among innocent people enjoying a glorious Bondi summer&#8217;s day&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pip said she and her girlfriend Jess were leaving the beach and heading home when the shooting began, with the gunmen opening fire just metres behind them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The gunman fired his first round of shots right behind my girlfriend and I as we had just passed the bridge where they were standing, heading in the direction of the Jewish event\/celebration on the Bondi grass,&#8217; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We immediately ducked between two parked vans as the shots continued to fire incessantly, and quite literally as close as two metres away.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The pair were forced to take cover under one van as the gunmen circled above them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The attack at Australia&#8217;s most iconic tourist destination unfolded as hundreds gathered to attend the Chanukah by the Sea event, marking the first day of Hanukkah.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-485e235dc4b64b0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/107569465-15693885-image-m-30_1775005063194.jpg\" height=\"785\" width=\"634\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Daily Mail columnist Jana Hocking was stunning in a sheer black lace dress\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-adeae3eeac4d8378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/107569467-15693885-image-a-31_1775005079224.jpg\" height=\"983\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Guy Sebastian's wife Jules arrived wearing a Miu Miu tank top and black trousers\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Guy Sebastian&#8217;s wife Jules arrived wearing a Miu Miu tank top and black trousers\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-d240e827eddc3435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/107569055-15693885-image-a-18_1775003876531.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\" alt=\"TV presenter Laura Csortan showed off her long legs in a pair of shorts\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">TV presenter Laura Csortan showed off her long legs in a pair of shorts\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Addressing speculation around her exit from Ksubi after the ordeal, she told Daily Mail on Tuesday: &#8216;Everything was good.
