I didn't always feel stuck.
For a long time, life was full in the best way.
Our boys were young, my weeks were built around making a home, family dinners, time with friends and family, and football sidelines.
I worked, but my main role was being a mum and spending time with my nan.
I was happy. Genuinely happy.
​
Life wasn’t without its challenges, but I had a strong sense of who I was, what mattered to me, and where I belonged.
That identity was an anchor.
Then Things Shifted.
Not all at once, but gradually.
​
My nan passed away. My boys grew up and needed me less.
I found myself in a full-time job I’d never really planned to be in, and somewhere along the way the fullness drained out of my days.
And with it, my sense of who I was. That identity that had felt like an anchor, I started to wonder where it had gone.
Who was I now, and what did I actually want?
Life became work, cook, sleep, repeat. And I started asking that quiet question... is this it?
​
There was a time when I didn’t have to think about it. I felt like myself, then gradually, that stopped being automatic.
I found myself having to make a conscious effort to do the things that made me happy, and I wasn’t sure when that had become the new normal.
I wasn’t in crisis and I wasn’t deeply unhappy. But I was fed up, and I knew I didn’t want the rest of my life to feel like that.
I made a decision.
That feeling is what led me into self-development and eventually to becoming a coach.
I handed my notice in, ​stepped back from the career I'd drifted into and trained to become a coach.
​
I trained to ICF standards, working with the whole person. An approach rooted in neuroscience that looks at mindset, emotions and behaviour together, not just the surface issues. ​
​
It gave me back excitement and purpose. And I felt I was actually choosing my path rather than going along with it.
​
​That idea, taking your power back and making conscious decisions about how you live, sits at the heart of the work I do now.
It's what I call self-leadership, helping women come back to it is what I love to do.
​
Building a life by your own measure, not someone else's. Less about what looks goodfrom the outside, more about what feels right on the inside.
I work with women who know something needs to change - whether they know why or not.
​
Women who are ready to put themselves first, or at least equal, and start believing that what they want matters.
