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,...
What Stops With You: The Legacy Nobody Talks About
I was driving with the roof down a couple of weeks ago. Just me, the open road, a playlist that had no business being that good, and the kind of headspace that only happens when you're moving (or in the shower). And this thought just landed. I'd been thinking about...
Why High-Achieving Women Feel Trapped by Their Own Success (And How Identity Reinvention Changes Everything)
You did everything right. The career that took bloody years to build. The financial independence that your younger self would have been absolutely stunned by. The title, the salary, the respect. All of it. You worked so much harder than most people will ever know, and...
Becoming Her: How to Actually Use Identity Design to Change Your Life
You know one thing a lot of people don’t really want to hear? You can read all the books. Listen to all the podcasts. Journal your heart out until it feels like your hand is about to fall off with poxy cramp. And YET…. still stay exactly the bloody same. Do you wanna...
Why Identity Design Is the Missing Piece in Personal Development (And How to Be Her Now)
Let’s just say it. The elephant in the room and all that. You’ve done so much of the work, haven't you? You’ve read all the books. Listened to podcasts on the daily. Tried to ‘develop yourself’ in more ways than you can bloody count. And yet… You’re still operating at...
Why High-Achieving Women Feel Unfulfilled (And What Your ‘True Self’ Is Trying to Tell You)
Let’s get one thing straight. You didn’t wake up one day and suddenly ‘lose yourself’ (as some would have you believe). You didn’t accidentally drift away from who you are either. You didn’t just forget. You unintentionally overrode her. You became who worked for your...
The High-Functioning Trap: Why Success Still Feels Empty
From the outside, your life works doesn't it? You’ve probably ticked all the ‘good’ life boxes…. like a high-performing career, 2.5 (now grown up kids), the house, the car, the dog. You’ve handled all manner of crap when life has life’d and kept all the wheels turning...
The Inherited Self: You’re Living an Identity You Didn’t Choose
On paper, your life works, right? You’ve built a showcase career. You’ve handled ALL the responsibilities and kept all manner of sh*t moving. You’re capable. Reliable. The one people count on. So why does it still feel like something's just off? Flat AF. Restless....
