Recently I came across an old document where I’d started mapping out the timeline of my life 📝

As I read through it, I realised how many different versions of myself have existed over the years.

The teenager catching two buses to school.
The university student working in retail to pay rent.
The 21 year old who moved interstate.
The provisional psychologist.
The manager.
The mum.
The school counsellor.
The business owner.
The coach.

For a long time, I thought confidence came from having everything figured out 😅😮‍💨

What I’ve learned instead is that confidence often comes from trusting yourself to navigate change 🫶

Perhaps that’s one reason I’m so passionate about helping women explore identity.

Many of the women I work with find themselves at a crossroads ⚠️

They’ve built a successful career but feel drawn towards something different.

Their children are growing up and they’re wondering who they are beyond motherhood.

They’ve spent years meeting everyone else’s expectations and are now questioning what they actually want.

The work isn’t always about becoming someone new.

Often it’s about reconnecting with who you’ve been all along.

Looking back, I can see that every chapter of my life taught me something. It certainly wasn’t in a straight-line but the challenges were figure-outable

Even the ones that felt uncertain at the time.

I’m curious...

How many different versions of you have existed throughout your life so far?

From the outside, she looks like she’s coping.

She gets up each day and does what needs to be done.

She goes to work.
Runs the business.
Manages the household.
Remembers the appointments.
Supports everyone around her.

Most people would describe her as capable.

What they don’t see is the mental load she’s carrying.

The racing mind at night.

The constant feeling that she’s forgotten something.

The difficulty switching off.

The pressure of trying to be everything to everyone.

Many of the women I work with aren’t falling apart.

They’re simply carrying too much for too long.

Whether we’re working together through therapy or business coaching, a common theme is helping women create a life and business that feels more sustainable, rather than constantly pushing through exhaustion and overwhelm.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse before asking for support.

Can you relate?

A previous version of you was once hoping for the life you have today.

The problem is, we rarely stop to notice.

We achieve something we’ve worked hard for, only to immediately focus on the next thing.

The next goal.
The next milestone.
The next challenge.

I’ve caught myself doing this recently.

Looking at what still needs improving.
Thinking about what hasn’t happened yet.
Focusing on what’s missing.

Meanwhile, I forget that there was a time when I was hoping for many of the things that are now part of my everyday life.

The flexibility.
The ability to work around my family.
The business I’ve built.
The life I’ve worked hard to create.

There’s nothing wrong with having goals.

But if we’re always chasing the next thing, life can start to feel like one long race towards a destination that keeps moving.

Maybe the goal isn’t to stop striving.

Maybe it’s to hold both:

✨ Gratitude for where you are.

✨ Hope for where you’re headed.

I’d love to know: what’s something in your life today that you once hoped for?

One thing business owners don’t talk about enough is how lonely leadership can feel.

Many women go into business because they value:

Freedom
Flexibility
Autonomy
Creativity
And the ability to create something meaningful on their own terms.

But eventually many also reach a point where the mental load of business ownership becomes heavy.

The pressure of decision-making.
Leading staff.
Managing finances.
Holding everything together.
Trying to grow while also protecting your wellbeing, relationships and personal life.

And often there are very few places where you can speak honestly about it.

Not with staff because it’s not appropriate to share your worries or uncertainty.

Not with friends or family either, because although they care deeply, they may not fully understand the emotional pressure of running a business.

As a psychologist and business coach, I’m passionate about creating a confidential, non- judgmental space for women in business to have conversations they can’t have elsewhere.

If this resonates for you, send me a message. My DMs are always open 💌

If I had a dollar for every woman who told me she feels guilty resting, I’d probably be retired right now.

It’s something I see so often in high-achieving women.

Many have learnt to tie their worth to productivity, being helpful, staying on top of things, or constantly doing.

So when they finally stop, slow down, or sit down to rest… guilt shows up almost immediately.

Their mind starts telling them:
“I should be doing something”
“I haven’t earned this yet”
“There’s still more to do”

The goal is not necessarily to never feel guilty resting.

Sometimes it’s about learning to feel the guilt… while also connecting to the deeper, wiser part of you that knows rest is necessary.

Because without rest, it becomes very difficult to keep showing up for everyone else, let alone yourself.

You cannot keep running on empty indefinitely.

Sometimes the work is:
Feel the guilt, and take the rest anyway.

One thing I see often in my work with women is how easy it can be to slowly build a life around everyone else’s needs, expectations and happiness, while losing touch with your own in the process.

Many high-achieving women become very good at coping externally.

They keep showing up.
Keep helping.
Keep performing.
Keep carrying the mental load.

But underneath, they are often exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stretched, and feeling guilty for even needing rest in the first place.

Over time, many women learn to tie their worth to productivity. So slowing down can feel uncomfortable. Rest can feel undeserved. Saying “no” can bring guilt.

But constantly running on empty is not sustainable.

You do not need to earn rest.

Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, reconnect with yourself again, and create healthier ways of living, coping and relating to others.

If this resonated with you, support is available.

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

It’s such a privilege to be a mum. To walk alongside my own children as they grow, to connect with other mums through this season of life, and to support women in my work as a psychologist and business coach.

Something I’m always reminded of is that no mum has it all together (myself included!). We’re all navigating different seasons, and it’s rarely possible to have everything at once. We do an incredible job juggling the things we do in this modern life 💃💃

Holding a lot, loving deeply, and finding our way as we go 🤍

Things are finally working in your business… and this is when the guilt often shows up.

You’ve delegated more.
You’re not stuck in the day-to-day like you used to be.
There’s more space in your week… and even space to enjoy your life a bit more.

And yet it can feel uncomfortable 🤷‍♀️

Like you should be doing more.
Like it looks wrong to your team.
Like you’re somehow getting away with something.

So the instinct is to fill the space again.
Jump back in. Stay busy. Keep moving.

But that space you’ve created?

That’s not something to fix.

It’s where you step back enough to think clearly.
To make better decisions.
To actually lead your business, rather than just keep it running.

This is something I’m really intentional about in my own week too - even something as simple as stepping out to a café to create space to think, plan, and step out of the day-to-day.

So if things are starting to feel a little “too calm”…

Before you rush to fill it -
pause.

That space might be exactly where your next level has the opportunity to come to fruition.

Back to work next week… and I’m actually feeling really ready for it 🤍

These school holidays have been slower in the best way -
sleep ins, later nights, gym mornings, long lunches, beach walks, time with the kids… all the things that are easy to rush past during the term.

And every time I take a proper break like this, I’m reminded of something:

I don’t just want this feeling on holidays… I want it woven into my everyday life.

Over the past few years, I’ve become a lot more intentional about how I structure my work around that.

Fridays are client-free.
Mornings are for getting kiddies ready for school, the gym, easing into the day.
My first client isn’t until 11am Monday–Thursday.

Not because it always feels easy to set those boundaries…
but because I’ve learned how important that space is.

It changes how I show up - in my work, in my family, and in myself.

This is what “life by design” has come to mean for me.

Not just building a business … but building one that actually supports the life I want to live and with family front of mind.

If you’re in a season where your business feels a little too full, a little too rushed, or it’s taking more than it’s giving…

It doesn’t have to stay that way.

If you’re a business owner who feels like your work is taking over more than it’s giving, and you want to create more structure in your week, send me message - this is exactly what I help my clients to do 🤍

17 years married today 🤍

We celebrated with a long lunch at Golden Boy - the Tuk Tuk “feed me” menu, so many courses, incredible flavours, and honestly some of the best service we have had.

Anyone who knows me knows I’ll always appreciate a beautiful interior… and this unique, art-filled space did not disappoint ✨

But more than anything, it was just really nice to slow down, sit across from each other, and soak it in for a moment.

Life looks very different to when we first got married… busier, fuller, a lot louder 😅
but these little pockets of time together feel more important than ever.

Grateful for 17 years, and for still finding ways to make it feel special.

Have you been to Golden Boy? If not, book it in for your next Date Day/Night 🤍
