A few years ago, I’d reached a crisis point.
Even though I’d worked hard to get where I was on the senior leadership team of a high-growth startup, I’d become totally disillusioned with the “success” I thought I wanted. I couldn’t see a way forward—suddenly, the shiny CMO title I’d aspired to for years made me feel trapped.
I was careening between periods of productive but unhealthy stress, and inevitable burnouts that sapped all my motivation. Unsurprisingly, my love life mirrored the stress and dysfunction that was happening at work. My skin and my gut were screaming at me to pay attention.
All my energy—creative and emotional—was going into other people’s ideas.
Firstly, my dad died—and there’s nothing like losing someone you love to throw your priorities into sharp relief. Secondly, I discovered coaching.
And eventually, I caught up. Because two things happened that changed my perspective.
Being able to talk to someone completely objective in a safe, zero-judgement space allowed me to really get to know all the different parts of me: the high (and often over-) achiever, the shy creative, the fierce independent spirit.
I was first offered coaching as a workplace perk.
Consistently making that time to reflect, learn and grow
with a trained professional helped me to:
Get the clarity and courage to leave my full-time job
Understand what had gone wrong—from misaligned values to unproductive relationship dynamics
Realise a dream I’d always quietly nurtured: working for myself
Choose myself over people who didn’t light me up
Finally commit to a creative practice and publish my own writing
Ignite a new calling as a coach
My Personal experience informs
My personal experience informs my practice, which integrates psychology-based methods, follows a person-centred, systems-thinking and trauma-informed approach, and respects ethical codes of coaching conduct.
I qualified with the Animas Centre for Coaching in July 2024, am an accredited EMCC Senior Practitioner and (as a lifelong nerd) continue to invest in my professional development as a coach.
