✨ ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT to sign up to 2025’s Best-Seller ✨

If you’re craving a change in 2026, a real one but you’re not quite sure what it looks like or how to get there then this is your sign.

This is my signature six-session program that’s helped dozens of people step out of the “I should be grateful” loop and into a life that actually feels like theirs.

Think clarity, confidence, unstoppable momentum without needing to blow up your life overnight.

If 2025 was the year you felt the pull
Let 2026 be the year you FOLLOW it.

I only have TWO spots left before I close doors until March 2026.

Once these two go, that’s it for the year.

Why? Because on 11th December my rhythm shifts down a gear.

🇬🇧 I’m spending a magical Christmas with family in the UK
🇰🇭 Exploring Cambodia in January
🇻🇳 Finishing what we started in Vietnam at the bridging of the year in February.

So, I only have space for two more clients until I land back in Oz in March and pick up my pace again! 🇦🇺

You see, I live what I teach and have designed my life around my own rules and rhythm 🤪

If you want:

✨ crystal-clear direction
✨ a tailored plan you’re excited about
✨ support as you step into your next chapter
✨ and a coach who sees both your potential and your humanness

Then XRoads is where we do the work. Together.

DM me or comment XRoads and I’ll send you a discovery call link.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate 💛

This is what happens when you give yourself 8 months to dream, 5 years to plan, and 3 years to build. ✨

2016: sunburnt and smiling in Portugal on my career break, recovering from 15 years of the corporate grind… a little lost in purpose and direction.

2025: pressing apples in the French countryside, turning our own fruit into homemade cider. Feeling 100% at home, content, and clear on exactly who and what I want to be.

Between these two moments? Nine years.

🧚🏼‍♀️ 8 months dreaming, that first career break where I finally asked, “What do I actually want my life to look like?”

📅 5 years planning, back in “normal life,” saving, showing up to work, holding onto the dream even when it felt miles away.

🏡 3 years executing, slowly bringing the vision to life: renovating a barn, creating seasons across France, the UK, and Australia, building a life around freedom, sunshine, and people.

The reality? Making cider from our own apple trees in France. 🍏

It didn’t happen overnight.

It wasn’t linear.

It took patience, courage, and plenty of “what on earth are we doing?” moments.

Sometimes the most meaningful change doesn’t come from a leap… it comes from a slow, steady walk in the direction of what matters most.

👉 What’s your dream, and what’s one small step you could take today to move closer to it?

✨ “Working with you has been an absolute game changer.”

When this amazing human first came to me, they were lost.

Unsure what direction to take.
Overthinking every option.
Afraid of making the wrong move.

Fast forward a few sessions…

They now have a clear vision for their career and the confidence to go after it. 💫

That kind of transformation doesn’t come from a single “aha” moment. It comes from slowing down, asking the right questions, and rebuilding trust in yourself, one small decision at a time.

Seeing that shift from confusion to clarity, from fear to confidence is why I do what I do.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or ready for change but don’t know where to start… Maybe this is your sign. 🤍

✨ What’s one thing you wish felt clearer in your career right now?

💡 There’s more than one currency when designing your work.

When I’m partnering with the wonderful humans who are considering their next career chapter, I encourage them to think beyond 💵 money.

Because when you design work that truly works for you, there are other currencies worth just as much (if not more):

⏳ Time; flexibility, shorter weeks, remote work
⚡ Energy; a role that fuels you instead of draining you
🌍 Purpose; knowing your work actually matters
🕊️ Freedom; the ability to live life on your terms.

Yes, money matters. But it’s not the only thing on the table.

And when you’re negotiating your next role, remembering this can change everything.

✨ What’s your number one currency right now?

🚦 Stuck at a career crossroads?

⁉️Really need a change?

You’re not broken, you’re human, and humans evolve.

I work with professionals every day who:

➡️ Know deep down their current path isn’t right
➡️ Feel exhausted, stuck, or burnt out
➡️ Don’t know what’s next, but know it’s not this

That’s exactly why I created The XRoads Program 💫

A 6-session coaching + mentoring journey that takes you from:

❌ Confusion → ✅ Clarity → 🚀 Confident action.

Here’s what we cover together:

1️⃣ Setting goals & getting clear on what’s not working
2️⃣ Defining your life + career vision
3️⃣ Understanding your values & strengths
4️⃣ Exploring possibilities: If not this, then what?
5️⃣ Building your bridge to change
6️⃣ Crafting your personalised action plan

The result? You’ll walk away with:

✨ Clarity; what you really want (and what’s holding you back)
✨ Confidence; belief that you can achieve it
✨ Direction; a flexible roadmap to start your next chapter

💬 Over the past 2 years, this has been my most popular program. Why?

Because it works.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building a life + career that excites you:

📩 DM me, I have 2 spots open for October.

✨ “I haven’t been this excited about my prospects in years.” ✨

I loved receiving this message recently, it gave me all the feels.

This client came to me feeling uncertain, a bit stuck and at a crossroads in their career. Coming to the end of a career break they were unsure whether they were ready to go back into corporate or explore something different altogether.

They’d been wondering if the answer lay in turning their hobbies of writing, nutrition and yoga into a new career.

This is such a common theme I hear. We’re surrounded by messages like “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

But let’s also be real, we don’t live in a vacuum. We have responsibilities and considerations not to mention the fact that not every passion needs to become a profession.

That’s why when you work with me, there’s space for the big dreaming and the limitless visioning but also a healthy sprinkling of realism!

Together, we clarified what really matters to them and reframed what a return to corporate could look and feel like. They showed up to interviews more confident, committed, and aligned and it paid off.

Coaching isn’t about pushing you down one path. It’s about expanding what’s possible and building a plan that fits your actual life. When someone tells you they’re feeling more hopeful about the future than they have in years it’s a powerful reminder of what can happen when we pause, reflect, and choose with intention.

If you’re at a crossroads too, I’d love to support you. Or just follow along and I’ll keep sharing ideas, stories and prompts to help you navigate what’s next 💛

🎉 July is Birthday Month! 🥂

And in true life-by-design style that means a healthy mix of champagne, family, friends and a little adventure 🍰🌍🧘‍♀️

Every year, I use this time to reflect, celebrate how far I’ve come and make space for more joy. But between the swims, sunshine and slow mornings I’ve got two coaching spots for anyone:

✨ Ready for a career shift
✨ Stuck on a big decision
✨ Craving clarity on their next chapter
✨ Planning a sabbatical or career break?

If that’s you, let’s chat. Drop me a message or comment “I’m curious” and I’ll reach out. Equally head to the bio and book in a call direct!

Three years ago this week, and I were taking Paris by storm!

Raising champagne glasses, devouring all the cheese, and somewhere in between training on strategy and how things work at

Fast forward to today and I’m celebrating 3 years of my new way of working! This isn’t just a work anniversary, it’s a reflection of the remote portfolio career I’ve intentionally built.

✔️ I’ve created a career and life coaching practice I absolutely love and get to work with the most incredible humans.
✔️ I still work a couple of days a week in recruitment because I want to and still over 20 years on, love it.
✔️ I’ve learnt a whole lot of patience and some new skills as labourer to the worst boss I’ve ever worked for whilst renovating our 15th century French barn .hulme
✔️I’m the host of where I get to witness such amazing stories from brave people who have taken and and work with my amazing friend and producer/editor

All components of my complement each other beautifully and the insights and learnings across all elements make me continually better at all four roles.

So here’s to champagne-fuelled beginnings, flexible careers, and doing work that lights you up from all sides. And yes, I’m celebrating this week with a night away with the hubby in a spa hotel. It would be rude not to and I have to practice what I preach ~ Celebrate at every possible milestone 😂

Have you ever thought about a portfolio career? What would it include 🤷🏻‍♀️

“This can’t be it.”

You’ve ticked the boxes. Built the career. Maybe even the lifestyle others admire. But something deep down is whispering (or shouting)….”I don’t want to keep doing this”

You want more from the next chapter, but what does “more” even mean?

More time? Freedom? Purpose? Fun? Or just... not this? 🌈

If you’re in that murky middle, the space between knowing something needs to change and not knowing what change looks like then believe me when I say.…you’re not alone. ❤️

So many of the amazing humans I work with come to me with this quiet ache. Not burnt out exactly, but restless. They are read for something different but unsure how to even begin.

The truth? You don’t need all the answers before you start.

You just need to listen to that feeling and let it guide you. Sometimes it starts with one brave question: What do I want more of in my life?

If this speaks to you, whether you’re dreaming of a sabbatical, a new career, or simply a life that feels more like you I’d love to hear your story. Drop me a message or share below:

👉 What would “more” look like for you?

Three years ago, my hubby and I set a bold 5-year plan:

🌞 Live an endless summer
🌍 Split our life between two continents and all our favourite people
🏡 Rebuild a 15th-century barn in rural France

We’re now three years in, and wow, what a ride it’s been. Reflecting over the weekend I realised how much I’ve learnt:

I’ve learned to trust myself ✨

When I moved from the UK to Australia, I had a company sponsoring me and sorting the paperwork. I had friends and colleagues who’d done it before me. This time, doing it solo? Brutal. But I’ve learned to back myself and trust the process.

Patience really is everything ✨

We move slowly, but the power of 1% a day is real. As we started planning the 2025 season, we realised we might actually be on track with our original 5-year renovation goal after all.

Have a plan but leave some flex ✨

Last year, our “endless summer” became “escaping winter” so we could be in the UK for my brother’s wedding. That detour reminded us: flexibility is freedom.

The simple life can be the biggest surprise ✨

Turns out I’m more than content pottering in my French garden, not seeing a soul for days. I never saw that coming! Swapping the buzz of Sydney’s CBD for the calm of the French countryside.

Fall in love with the journey ✨

Visa chaos, language hurdles, building challenges, HUGE (and I mean huge) arguments with the hubby. Turns out building a life and renovating a 15th-century barn on foreign soil where you don’t yet speak the lingo will test everything. We’ve had to learn to communicate better, laugh when things go wrong, and remember we’re on the same team… even when one of us (usually me) is ready to throw something at him!

Three years in, and we’re knees-deep in renos, back just three weeks. Still learning, adapting, growing. And I wouldn’t trade this intentionally created life for anything. It wouldnt be everyone’s idea of perfect but it’s pretty god damn close to mine! 💙🙏🏼💙

Are you happy with the life you’ve crafted? How intentional have you been about doing so?

✨ How do you spot a tipping point? That feeling you can’t shake… ✨

After I shared my two major tipping points in life, so many of you reached out asking:

🤷🏻‍♀️ “How do I know when I’m at a tipping point?”�🤷🏻‍♀️ “What’s the best way forward once I’ve hit one?”

👇 Here’s how to recognise one and what to do next:

🌀 You might be at a tipping point if…
�😞 Mondays feel heavier than ever�😞 Something that once lit you up now feels hollow�😞 A passing comment hits like a freight train�😞 You’ve lost your mojo — in work and life�😞You’re exhausted from pretending everything’s fine

These moments might seem small… but they carry huge power.

💡 What to do next:

✨ Pause. Don’t rush to fix it, just feel it�✨ Get honest. What’s not working anymore? What’s the cost of staying put?�✨ Let curiosity in. You don’t need all the answers. Just better questions

🔁 Tipping points aren’t breakdowns they’re the start of your breakthrough💪🏼

💬 Been there? In it now? Drop a 💥 in the comments if this resonates.

🔖 Save this post for the day your gut whispers, “It’s time.”

📩 DM me “READY” if you’re standing at a crossroads and want to explore what’s next together, I’ll reach out with next steps.

✨ 14 years ago... I landed in Australia ✨

It changed my life forever. 🇦🇺💛

The people, the places, the opportunities, I’ll never stop being grateful. But what I’m really reflecting on is this:

👉 Tipping points.

The moments that whisper: “There must be more than this.”

📍 First tipping point; came on the M25 in the UK, stuck in snow for 11 hours ❄️

Somewhere between worry and anger, I heard it:

“There has to be something better for you than this.”

Next day, a job popped up in Sydney. I applied. The rest is history!!

📍 Second tipping point; Years later, I was promoted to Director. A milestone and what should have been a career highlight.

But that quiet voice returned, whispering for more alignment, freedom, truth.

This time, it led to a career break. Time out of the rat race to dream up a new life. One I’m super proud to now be living, one rooted in France, the UK & Australia.

🪄 You don’t always spot a tipping point in real time. But when you hear the whisper, I invite you to listen.

If you’re feeling one stirring inside you I encourage you to trust it. It might just be the beginning of something extraordinary. 💙

👇 Tell me in the comments, have you ever had a moment that changed everything?
