I know the cost of living a life that isn't yours.
For fourteen years I was exceptional at a life that was slowly hollowing me out. Corporate Queen - in London five days a week, 6:30am to 6:30pm, then home to log back on. The stress was relentless. The achievements were real. And underneath all of it, barely audible beneath the calendar invites and the performance reviews, was a feeling I kept pushing down: this isn't it.
And it broke me. The kind of breaking that doesn't announce itself as an opportunity until much later, when you're on the other side of it and you can see, with uncomfortable clarity, that it was the most important thing that ever happened to you.
"What followed wasn't a rebrand. It was a demolition."
I went into the dark — properly. Childhood trauma, inherited scripts, the gap between who I'd been performing and who I actually was. It wasn't linear. It wasn't pretty. There were stretches of it that were genuinely terrifying. And there were stretches that were the most alive I had ever felt. What I found underneath all of it wasn't a broken woman who needed fixing. It was a whole one who had been buried. She had been there the entire time.
That process, the stripping back, the identifying of programming that was never mine, the returning to original self - is what I now call The Reawakening. Not because it makes a good brand name. Because it's exactly what it is.
I am not a coach. I want to be clear about that distinction, because it matters. Coaching, in the way the industry has packaged it, is largely about optimising the life you already have. What I do is different. I work with women who suspect the life they have isn't the one they're supposed to be living and I help them find their way back to the one that is.
I call myself a Changemaker. Not because it's a title I invented to sound interesting, but because it's the most accurate word for what happens in this work. Things change. Fundamentally. Not surface-level rearranging: axis shifts.
I work with a small number of women each year. This is not a volume business. The work is too deep and too specific for that. Every woman I work with gets my full presence, my full attention, and the full weight of everything I have learned from fourteen years in corporate, from my own descent and return, and from every woman I have sat with in this work.
If you've read this far, something here has landed. That feeling — the recognition, the slight tightening in your chest - that's not coincidence. That's your original self, paying attention.
I'd love to talk. Reach out whenever you're ready.
