Every chapter that changed my life began with
A DECISION.

I became a mother at 21. A few years later I was promoted, with an offer to move to Melbourne. My husband at the time said, “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not moving for your career.” I stayed.

Then I was asked to lead a team of around 50 at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. I wasn’t sure I could do it. I said yes. Afterwards I moved to Sydney with my eight-year-old and started again as a solo mum.

More than twenty years in senior leadership across three countries. Nine months on a remote construction site in the Maldives. Six months travelling through Europe.

In between, I went back to old habits. I overworked, pushed, performed and pleased. Then I was made redundant. I spent three months travelling South East Asia solo and finished at a retreat. Something I’d known for years finally landed: I want my own business. Freedom, financial security, and work I love, on my terms.
