The Promise I Made To Myself That Changed Everything

Years ago, I was finding things difficult. I didn’t feel in control.

I could see exactly who I wanted to be — happy, healthy, confident and successful. However, reality never matched the image in my head. And it got me down. 

I felt so stuck.

I knew what I wanted to achieve, and tried lots of different things to get there. But I couldn’t work out how to change long-term and be consistent. Or, how to feel in control of myself and my life.

When Everything Changed

One day, frustrated, ashamed, upset — I’d had enough. And without realising it, made a life-changing decision.

I committed deep in my heart to do everything I could to be the best version of me and live my best life.

Since then, I’ve had this drive to understand human behaviour, psychology and change.

I wanted to know what makes people happy, healthy, confident and successful — and most importantly, how they do it. You should see my pile of books and notes! 

It’s been a 10+ year journey — full of ups, downs, highs, lows — that’s led me to what I do now.

Why I Do What I Do

Here’s what I realised:

If I’d had a coach to share my dreams, worries and feelings with — knowing I wouldn’t be judged and they’d still like me — I wouldn’t have felt so self-conscious and different.

If I’d had a mentor to get actionable advice, practical tools and reassurance from — and ask questions without worrying what they thought of me — I wouldn’t have felt so overwhelmed and insecure.

My life wasn’t bad — yes, both school and entering the “real world” were challenging — but I’d worked hard to get a good job, bought my dream home with Phil, and had amazing people around me.

The Day We Bought Our Dream Home

The thing is, I wanted more. To look and feel better. Be more attractive and self-confident. Feel happier in myself and relationships. And stop starting again on Monday!

I wasn’t the only one — and wondered why our education system didn’t cover this stuff.

How I Got Started

That’s why in October 2023, when my role in change management was made redundant, I did something I’d been thinking about for a while.

I started this one-of-a-kind coaching business to guide, support, encourage and inspire women to be their best and achieve everything they want — personally and professionally.

To help kind, thoughtful, ambitious women like you make your dream of who you want to be and what you want to do a reality.

So, whether you want to improve your mindset, stop feeling anxious, create healthier habits, overcome negative thoughts, be more confident at work, or feel more in control of yourself and your life, please know I’m here to help you achieve whatever you want.

And, if you need anything now or in future, just reply to one of my weekly emails and let me know how I can help.
