I remember the exact moment it hit me —
I was sitting at my desk, staring at my laptop, and suddenly the silence in the house felt deafening.
For the first time in decades… it was just me.
And out of nowhere came the thought that knocked the wind from my lungs:
“They don’t need me anymore… so who am I now?”
It felt like a punch to the chest — grief, emptiness, confusion and panic
all wrapped into one tidal wave I never saw coming.
One minute I was working, the next I was spiralling into
Who am I outside of ‘Mom’?
What am I supposed to do with my days?
How do I even begin to shape a life that’s just mine?
And just as that wave hit, an old memory flashed through my mind —
a holiday we all took together…
all of us laughing, connected, full, whole.
And the grief of that moment cracked me open.
Because the truth was…
I had no idea who I was without them.
Not really.
Not deeply.
Not honestly.
I realised I had been performing roles for so long — mother, peacekeeper, provider,
emotional anchor, fixer, do-er of everything —
that somewhere along the way…
I disappeared.
I wasn’t just tired.
I was bone tired. Soul tired.
Tired of being who I thought I had to be.
Tired of adjusting myself to fit every role.
Tired of silencing the quiet little voice inside me saying:
“There’s more.
There’s more to you.
There’s more to life.
Go find her.”
But I didn’t know how.
Or where to begin.
Or even who to look for, because I’d forgotten her.
I had spent so many years being everything to everyone that I had no idea who I was supposed to be now.
And yet… the yearning wouldn’t go away.
That whisper of possibility.
The pull toward something bigger.
The ache to live again — fully, unapologetically, as me.
I didn’t go looking for life coaching.
It found me — in a way I didn’t expect, at a time I didn’t realise I needed saving.
I didn’t know what to expect.
Didn’t feel ready.
Didn’t know if it would help.
But I took the leap anyway.
And what happened next… shifted the entire trajectory of my life.
I like to say this was the moment the Phoenix in me stirred.
Coaching cracked me open, stripped away decades of masks and roles, and revealed a woman beneath that I hadn’t seen or met in years:
The real me.
The curious me.
The adventurous me.
The brave me.
The woman I always secretly hoped was in there but didn’t know how to find.
Piece by piece, layer by layer, I rebuilt her —
the authentic version of myself I never had the time, space or freedom to be before.

This is a completely non-committal, confidential
30 min conversation on Zoom
about how I may be able to help you -
through 1 : 1 Coaching.
Here we will get to know each other
a little bit more
and it's an opportunity for me
to hear about your current reality and goals
and to see whether we are a good fit
to work together.
You can ask any questions you may have for me to explain my approach and the coaching process.
If you’re standing in a season of change or transition,
unsure of your next steps —
but ready to move forward with clarity and confidence.
If limiting beliefs have been holding you back — and you’re ready to finally break free and create new, empowering patterns that serve who you’re becoming.
If you feel disconnected and long to rediscover who you truly are —
the real you beneath the noise, the expectations, the old roles.
If you crave guidance, accountability, and unwavering support as you take bold, aligned action toward the life your heart keeps whispering about.
If you’ve been feeling unfulfilled or empty — and you’re ready to reignite your sense of purpose, passion, and possibility.
