Stop Waiting for Your Future Self: How to Close the Identity Gap
There is a version of you that you already know. In fact, you probably know quite a lot about her, actually. You know how she leads herself. You know what shit she no longer puts up with. You know the boundaries she has with other people (and herself). You know...
Is Your Identity Putting a Ceiling on Your Business?
We talk a lot about what might stop a business growing. Whether it’s the wrong strategy or the wrong offer. Maybe it’s not enough visibility or not enough leads or even not enough systems. It might be the algorithm being an absolute dick. And sometimes, of course, it...
When Did Doing It Properly Become Doing It the Hard Way?
What if “doing it properly” has subtly become “doing it the hard way”? I’m exploring the uncomfortable connection between achievement, self-worth and why some of us find the easier road so difficult to take.
Some Relationships Outlive Their Labels
What losing my mother-in-law taught me about family, identity and the parts of ourselves we get to keep Last Sunday, my mother-in-law died. Although technically, I suppose, she hasn't been my mother-in-law for a very long time. Except she has. And I think that's what...
Are You Really Scared of Failure, or Are You Scared of Being Seen Trying?
We talk about fear of failure all the bloody time don’t we? Like…. I’d love to start a business, BUT what if it doesn’t work? I want to write a book, BUT what if nobody buys it? I want to put myself out there more, BUT what if nobody’s interested? I want to change my...
The Identity Shift Required to Play a Bigger Game in Business
There’s something I’ve been thinking about recently…. When the game is over, the Queen and the pawns go back in the exact same box. Once the chessboard has been packed away, they’re just pieces again; all of equal value. But while the game itself is being played? The...
The Rooms You Choose Are Subtly Designing Who You Become
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt like you belonged? Like you’ve found your fellow tribe? Or have you experienced the total opposite? Where you’ve barely said hello before you find yourself shrinking. Playing small. Wondering whether you should even...
You’re Brilliant at Leading Everyone… Except Yourself
Why Self-Leadership Is the Missing Piece for High Achievers One of the biggest leadership problems I see in the women I work with isn't poor communication. Nor is it a lack of ambition or empathy, or a weak strategy. Instead, it’s that people have become incredibly...
I’ll Do It When… (The Lie That’s Keeping You Stuck)
This time last year I kept saying the same thing repeatedly… "I'll do it when my arm's better." It became my favourite excuse for far longer than appropriate. And that isn’t because I was lazy or because I wasn't committed. It was because it sounded completely...
Why “I’m Becoming Her” Might Be the Most Comfortable Lie You’re Telling Yourself
There's a word that I’ve noticed we use constantly in the personal development space. We use it in coaching programmes, in podcast episodes, in Instagram captions; and don’t get me wrong, I’ve totally been guilty too. AND I have been increasingly conscious of the...
Why Waiting to Feel Ready Is the Most Expensive Decision You’ll Ever Make
I want to start with something that might make you feel ever so slightly uncomfortable. You already know what you need to do. I’[m not talking about a vague, one day maybe kind of knowing, but in a very specific, persistent niggle kind of way that you've been arguing...
Am I Too Old For This at 47? Let’s Actually Do the Maths
She put her hand up in the middle of the room. It was a room full of brilliant, powerhouse women, at the kind of day where you walk in feeling slightly underdressed, then leave feeling like you could build an empire on the train home. And this woman, beautiful,...
