If my journey has taught me anything, it’s that life truly transforms when you own your power and share your story.

My Story

I left my corporate marketing career because I'd simply had enough.

Enough of people pleasing, striving to fit a mould that never felt right, working all hours feeling like I was on a hamster wheel. I was anxious, burnt out, and exhausted.

I had a vision of empowering women to believe in themselves as they built their career or business.

As Head of Marketing for Lucozade, and leading brands like Aquafresh and Ferrero Rocher, I was top of my game in my corporate career. But when I didn't have the corporate badge behind me anymore, it was a completely different story. One I didn't anticipate.

I realised how much of my identity I'd based on what I did, rather than who I was. On what I thought others thought of me, instead of what I wanted for myself.

I set up my business and I floundered.

I spent ages building a lovely logo and website; a brand to hide behind that felt safe and familiar. I criticised myself constantly for not being able to market myself.

I struggled with imposter syndrome and self doubt. I sabotaged my chances by giving up at times.

When a friend asked how my "little business" was going, I could have died of shame. But she was only reflecting back what I thought of it myself.

I got married, had a beautiful baby girl, and got divorced. Everything changed.

It was then I knew I had two choices.

I could either go back into the corporate world into a well-paid hamster wheel again, or I could step forward as the leader I longed to be and create the business, income and lifestyle I wanted. One that worked for me and my daughter.

I know how tough it can be to put yourself out there. To get over your beliefs and get out of your own way. I know how we all fight with ourselves about what we want to achieve and know we're capable of, and what others will think of us.

What I learned is that when you step away from the noise of what everyone else is doing and tune in to yourself, your needs and desires, you can carve out a successful career, income or business and build it into something you are proud of.

I realised that the only expectations you ever need to meet are your own. That instead of striving for perfection and struggling with overwhelm, you just need to get started and keep going.

That the voice in your head needs to shift from being your harshest critic to becoming the compassionate best friend and cheerleader you really need.

Most importantly, I learned that your story is something that can either hold you back or propel you forward.

I empower women to find the confidence to market themselves and tell their story.

But more than that, I help them step into a powerful new leadership identity.

Because here's what I've learned: Leadership isn't just about what you do. It's about who you become.

The shift from feeling invisible to becoming magnetically influential isn't about tactics or strategies alone. It's about doing both the inner work; healing the imposter syndrome, releasing the limiting beliefs, owning your worth, and the outer work of crafting your story, building your brand, and claiming your voice.

I give women permission to be themselves as they step into the leadership they're meant for. To share their ideas and passions with confidence. To take that big step forward into the spotlight and become the face of their brand.

I help them transform their personal journey into their leadership identity, one rooted in authenticity, confidence, and genuine power.

I help them own and be proud of their stories, because their stories have made them. And, because the stories they tell and the beliefs they build today will become tomorrow's reality.

I'm also building my story as I go.

The stories we tell can either help us or hinder us. It's all down to how we choose to use them. Your mind is your best asset and you can either train it to work for you or against you.

As a leader, your story is your secret weapon in releasing the past, finding your purpose, building your personal brand, attracting your audience and growing your career/business. And I'm here to help you make that happen.

Because the stories we tell ourselves create our realities, and how you tell your story makes all the difference.
