Soul Compass

Soul Compass Career & Life Coach, Counsellor. Rebel with a cause. 7300 words. Hilariously, that’s how long my first version of this profile was. Ta da! Truly. I wasn’t.

I set myself a challenge to squash it into a three sentence summary. Aspiring teenage musician has existential crisis after controlling grandmother tells devastating lie which leads to decades of enmeshment, bullying and making bad choices with men. Survives near death experience in childbirth, autoimmune disease & the hiding of authentic self while becoming serial career changer & doing well paid

, prestigious roles purely for money & because of lack of sound decision making processes, lack of self awareness & lack of direction. Hits thirty & finally feels deserving of doing something for self, so trains in polarity therapy & counselling then becomes a specialist career and life coach helping people work out what to be when they grow up (all while dabbling in piano, stand-up comedy & quantum theory.) There’s obviously a ton of detail missing but the message is I have lived a life. And learned a lot from every experience. Even the car accident, even the failed marriages, even the workplace bullying. That lived experience makes me an excellent, intuitive, straight shooting coach for anyone who wants to make great choices by understanding what it is that lights you up. We take quite a trip together, a journey inward to discover internal drivers rather than finding external things to direct you. Once we reassess your career and life situation, we work out how to reinvent you & your personal brand to align with your new direction. Then you can re-imagine your whole life … so dream big! Of course, I could just write you a resume. But then you never get to work out the great stuff. Like what or who you’re saying yes to that you would rather not. What or who you’re saying no to that you deeply regret not pursuing. And what the risk is of having all you desire. Coaches are a dime a dozen so it’s important you find the right one. I’m a good fit for anyone prepared to do the work and commit to change & growth—corporates, mothers looking to recreate careers, top execs who want something more meaningful. And I’m a specialist transition coach for personnel leaving the defence force. Are you willing to die with your music still in you? Being smart is one thing. But without the integration of knowledge of your heart, you know nothing. Emotional intelligence is Queen. Faith in life, forgiveness, trust, compassion are all you need to start to return to you. If you want to talk about better processes for choosing your career & life, I’d love to connect.

I'm so grateful I met Dionne. Not only is she an awesome intelligent woman, she's doing something really important for women to end homelessness through her women 4 homes project.
Please take a moment to take the pledge and help how and where you can 💜

Today, Women 4 Homes is launching the We Are Done declaration and I want every woman I know to sign it.

Women sleeping in cars. Couch-surfing. Staying in unsafe situations because leaving means homelessness. Reaching retirement with less superannuation than their male counterparts because the system was never designed to work for them.

I am done watching this happen to the women I love. To our mothers. Our grandmothers. The wisdom keepers of our society.

So I built something.

Women 4 Homes gives women a pathway to financial security through property investment and creates affordable housing in the process. Two outcomes. One model. Women investing together, building together, owning together. Built by women, benefitting everyone.

This is how we fix it. Not by waiting for the system to change. By building something better ourselves.

Sign the declaration today, share it with your world and tag three women who need to see this.

I had a fabulous chat with the lovely Dionne from Women 4 Homes a little while back on the Financially Empowered Woman Podcast.

I talked a lot about my 'Capacity First' mindset.

You cannot pour from an empty cup, despite the years you have been trying to. As women we need to stop and put ourselves first. Consider what we can reasonably do, and build from that place.

Midlife is the reckoning that this usually comes to a head for many women. Its why I have built IMRAMA - more about that later (or check out my website)

Meanwhile the full podcast is here :)

IMRAMA is almost here... she's ready to take you on her maiden voyage into the waters of women's careers... I'm looking for 10 women to step aboard

When you have nothing but English breakfast tea...

Results from my survey of midlife women are in.

The information shared was raw and real, and spoke to a depth of challenges that are existential in nature, and require a system wide overhaul to properly redress. It also spoke to a resilience in women and a willingness to work within current constraints to pursue purpose, leave a legacy and provide a sustainable future for themselves.

It certainly captured the stories I have heard time and time again, as well as echoed some of my own experiences. The data paints a picture that cannot be ignored.

Overcoming imposter syndrome... because you're worth it 💜

Imposter syndrome can be tricky to recognise. Here's my 4 key things to think about when considering if you might be struggling with this...

Changing careers isn't just about updating your resume. It's a full process - and most people skip the steps that matter most.
After working with professionals navigating career transitions, I've found it comes down to 5 P's:
🔹 Personal Brand - And this is the one I see overlooked most, especially for women in midlife. Before anything else, you need to reconnect with who you are NOW. Not who you were 10 or 20 years ago. Recalibrating your sense of self and your career identity in this new season is the foundation everything else is built on.
🔹 Proximity - Strategically build relationships with people in the space you want to move into
🔹 Position - Use your resume as a positioning tool, not just a career history. Shape how the market sees you before you even walk in the door.
🔹 Presence - Show up confidently in interviews and let your value speak for itself
🔹 Prosper - Negotiate an offer that truly reflects your worth
Skip any one of these and the whole process feels harder than it needs to be. But skip Personal Brand? And you'll find yourself applying for roles that don't actually fit who you're becoming.
If you're a woman in midlife thinking about a career change and want a clear roadmap, let's chat. This is exactly what I help people work through.
What step do you find hardest? I'd love to know ↓
