Life has been a whirlwind, filled with challenges and growth. Through it all, my mission to support and empower women has only strengthened. This journey hasn’t always been smooth, but each challenge has helped me find my purpose, and I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
At the core of everything I do is a deep desire to support women, empowering them to live authentically and embrace their unique gifts and talents. I want women to know there’s a better way, that they aren’t alone, and that they can confidently celebrate their individuality. We are more than just individuals; we are a community that understands and values the true strength and beauty of women.
How It All Began
In 2018, I hit ‘rock bottom’. I didn’t see it coming. One moment I was running at full speed, pushing through every task with a sense of duty and purpose. The next, I was face down on the floor, literally and metaphorically. I was signed off work for three months with stress, exhaustion, and anxiety. It wasn’t just burnout, it felt like I had lost myself completely.
I had always been the reliable one, the problem solver who never missed a deadline. But during those three months, I questioned everything about my value, my identity, and my purpose. Who was I if I wasn’t doing my job? What was my worth if I couldn’t perform? I felt like I had let everyone down, my colleagues, my family, my husband, and most of all, myself.
The Turning Point
After months of soul-searching and self-reflection, I came to understand that my biggest obstacle was my mindset. I had been running on outdated beliefs, pushing myself beyond my limits and ignoring the signs my body was giving me. But the truth was, these were all things I could change, and I desperately wanted to change them.
My healing began, surprisingly, through something as simple as walking our dog, Millie. The connection to nature and those quiet moments outside became the foundation for my recovery. It was during these walks that I slowly began to reconnect with myself, to listen to my inner voice, and to understand what had gone wrong. I realised I had allowed work to become my identity. In doing so, I had neglected to nurture my well-being and my true self.
A New Purpose
Since then, I’ve spoken with countless women who, like me, have felt overwhelmed and close to falling apart. In 2020, I surveyed 59 women in business and entrepreneurial roles. The results were striking. Many of these women were regularly experiencing the same challenging and negative emotions I had faced. They, too, lacked the resources and understanding to improve their situation.
This revelation solidified my resolve. I wanted to help women before they reached their breaking point. I knew that by sharing my journey and the tools I had discovered; I could guide others to find greater fulfilment and balance in their lives.
From Life Coach to Author
In 2022, I knew I had to do something different. I had been coaching women for years, but I felt a strong intuition guiding me toward a new path. I needed space to think, reflect, and realign with my mission. I took a break from coaching to focus on how I could reach more women and support them more deeply. That’s when the idea of writing a book came to me.
Writing had always been a dream of mine, but I hadn’t given it the time or energy it deserved. As I reflected on this dream, I felt an excitement build inside me. Could I write a book that would reach and support more women? Could I share everything I’d learned in one place? The answer was a resounding yes.
That’s how Women Reaching Their Emotional Limit: A Workbook for Managing Overwhelm and Achieving Wellbeing came to life. It became my way of reaching beyond one-on-one coaching and providing a resource that women could turn to whenever they needed support, guidance, or inspiration.
Moving Forward with Purpose
Looking back on the past few years, I am profoundly grateful for my wake-up call in 2018. It led me to where I am today, working with amazing women, witnessing their transformations, and being part of their journeys to greater fulfilment. My own journey has been about reclaiming my identity and purpose, and now, I help other women do the same.
There is something incredibly powerful about seeing the weight lift from a woman’s shoulders when she realises, she’s not alone. When she’s truly heard, and when she gains insight into why she’s been struggling, new possibilities open up. I’ve seen this countless times in my coaching work, and it’s a reminder that transformation is always possible.
Today, I am more passionate than ever about helping women navigate their lives in a way that brings them joy, fulfilment, and peace. Whether through coaching, my book, or the community I’m building, I want every woman to know she has the power to change her life, to find balance, and to live as her authentic self.
