My Philosophy

---

Let’s face it  - everyone’s a coach these days. So what sets me apart? I don't follow the norm - I'm more straight talking, truly walk my talk, am a ridiculously open book and treat my client's like friends. Plus there are things I can guarantee, you won't here me saying... these are a big no-no for me...

Here’s what I don’t do...

• I won’t tell you “it could be worse” it's a daft comment, pointless, dismissive and untrue.

• I won’t chirp on about gratitude while you’re just trying to get through the day. Whilst gratitude is hugely valuable, there's a time and a space for it, and sometimes, that ain't it!

• I’ve got no time for toxic positivity - saying 'just think positively' makes me beyond irritated - it’s invalidating and frankly ridiculous. Yes to a positive mindset but let’s be honest, sometimes it’s messy and feels hard.

• Tell you to 'fake it til' you make it' - unless you want me to feed your imposter syndrome.

• And I don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach – one size, fits no-one! Clothes included.

• I won’t keep asking the same question in twenty different ways until you blurt something out just to move on. It's frustrating and at times, my client's just want actual guidance.

Life can be tougher than we ever planned for (thanks Disney!). As strong women, we feel like we should be able to handle it alone… but without the right tools, that usually leads to feeling flat and disconnected, itching for things to be different but unsure of how to actually do it.

• Mindset isn’t magic - but you have to be open minded. It takes a willingness to be wrong, to challenge well trodden thoughts and to reimagine (and experiment) with showing up differently. We're talking growth, not fixed mindset here.
   
• You are more capable than you may dare to believe. You can handle what life throws at you. Doesn't mean it's easy or comfortable, but it doesn't have to be overwhelmingly stunting of your dreams, joys and daily life. Practical action - that's a winner.
   
• You don’t need fixing. But honestly, things aren't changing without you taking action - the podcasts are great, but you're still wanting something different, fresh, honest and actionable - that works!  Reconnect with yourself and take steps to make life look and feel different. No magic fairy is coming… and that’s OK. Together, we create a clear, realistic pathway forward to your next bold and brilliant chapter.
   
• You always have a choice. And yes -that can feel uncomfortable. It’s easier to blame the situation or someone else. But when you learn to create choices that actually work for you? That’s real freedom. I help you get there.
