The year that’s waiting for you…
I believe 2026 holds extraordinary possibilities, not because of what’s coming, but because of who I am becoming. The work I have done to clarify and get crystal clear on what 2026 means for me, and what I am working towards.
That’s why I created Leap Forward 2026; my first curated, in-person experience for women who are ready to lead their next evolution.
Spend one day with me and a small select group of women, in a space designed for deep clarity, strategy, and authentic ambition, and leave knowing exactly how to move forward with purpose.
You’ll spend the day:
👉 Gaining absolute clarity on your 2026 career direction.
👉 Crafting your personalised roadmap for how to get there.
👉 Utilising and integrating the confidence and frameworks to negotiate from strength and influence outcomes
If you’ve been waiting for the right space to pause, refocus, and plan your next move, this is it.

Hi 👋 If you’re new here (or we haven’t spoken in a bit), let me introduce myself.
I’ve been reflecting on how much my work, and I, have evolved; it felt like the right moment to share a little more of who I am.
👉 I spent over 20 years in marketing agencies, delivering events and experiences for brands like American Express, Diageo, Nintendo and Virgin Media
👉 I’m an ICF-accredited coach (ACC), and I’ve been coaching for over 10 years; supporting women, mums, and leaders to move from overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and self-trust
👉 I’ve had the privilege of working with teams at Amplify, GES, Spiro, Wasserman, UKHSA, RightFormula, VaynerMedia, and Momentum: delivering bespoke away days, and leadership training for groups of 10 to over 100 people; I love holding space for people to pause, reconnect and grow: whether it’s a team, a room of leaders, or one-to-one
👉 My work now centers around authenticity and agency: helping people lead and live from a place that feels true, not performative. When we show up as ourselves, we make everything around us more fulfilling.
👉 I designed and now deliver a Maternity Returners Program for agencies, inspired by my own experience of finding my footing (and confidence) again after having my kids. I created The Career Accelerator: a program that helps people move from feeling unclear in their careers to calm and capable.
👉 I’m committed to my own growth: through embodiment and somatic training, coaching, and constant learning. I really believe we can only take others as far as we’ve been willing to go ourselves.
👉 I blend practical leadership and career strategy with deep mindset and embodiment work. I want my clients to succeed: not just on paper, but in a way that feels good
👉 I absolutely adore being a facilitator: the person who can hold the belief, the vision, the possibility: so my clients can fully believe it for themselves.
👉 Outside of work, you’ll find me swimming in cold water, travelling, learning something new, or with my two girls.

Most women I work with are not missing the insight.
They know something is off.
They can feel the old way is no longer working.
They have usually known for a while.
What gets in the way is what happens next.
Life fills up.
Work gets busy.
Other people need things.
They slip back into coping.
Back into carrying.
Back into getting through.
And what felt clear gets buried again.
That is how women stay stuck for longer than they need to.
Not because they are not smart enough to see it.
Because they do not yet have the space, support or structure to do something different with what they know.
This is why I take women through a simple three-step process that helps them move from insight into something far more solid, steady and usable in real life. Not just in this job, but in all the roles which come beyond it.

This is where a lot of women get dismissed, by other people and by themselves.
Because they are still managing.
Still showing up.
Still delivering.
Still getting through the week.
So they assume they must be fine.
But functioning can hide a lot:
mental noise, second-guessing, constant pressure, flatness, irritability, a low-level sense that life is being managed rather than properly lived.
You do not need to be in crisis to take yourself seriously.
Sometimes the sign is not that everything is falling apart.
It is that everything looks fine and still does not feel right.
Usually, it is not what people think.
It is not that they are failing.
It is not that they are not good enough.
It is not even that they are struggling.
It is that they feel unsure.
A lot of the time.
And because they are capable women, often in important roles, they get very good at hiding it.
From the outside, they look clear, calm and solid.
Inside, there can be a constant undercurrent of self-questioning.
Am I overreacting?
Should I stay?
Should I go?
Why can I not get clearer than this?
Why does this feel harder than it should?
That takes a toll.
And often the real work is not the big decision itself. It is creating enough steadiness to hear yourself before you make it.
A lot of women do not need more pressure to act.
They need more support to feel solid enough to trust what they already know.
This one catches a lot of smart women out.
When they feel unsure, they do what has worked for them in so many other areas of life: they learn.
They listen to more podcasts.
Read more books.
Take in more opinions.
Look for more perspectives.
Try to think their way through it.
And to be fair, that can feel productive for a while.
But there is a point where more input starts making it harder to hear yourself.
You are no longer getting clearer.
You are just getting fuller.
Full of ideas.
Full of advice.
Full of noise.
Sometimes the issue is not that you need more information.
It is that you need more space to hear your own signal.
That is a very different problem, and it needs a very different kind of support.
Not that they are failing.
Not that they are not good enough.
Not that they are falling apart.
That they feel unsure.
All the time.
And they work very hard to make sure nobody notices.
This is especially true for capable women.
Women others rely on.
Women who are used to being the one with the answers.
From the outside, they look solid.
Inside, they are often carrying a near-constant undercurrent of self-questioning.
Should I stay?
Should I go?
Am I overreacting?
Is this normal?
Why can I not get clearer than this?
At some point, that starts to wear you down.
This work does not begin at the moment of the big decision.
It begins earlier.
It helps create enough space for you to hear yourself before everything reaches breaking point.
This is more common than most women admit.
From the outside, they look experienced, capable and solid. They are in senior roles. They are trusted. They know their stuff.
But then they walk into certain rooms and something shifts.
They second-guess themselves.
They feel smaller than they are.
They over-monitor what they are saying.
They replay the conversation afterwards and wonder why they could not access more of themselves in the moment.
That gap can be hard to explain. Especially when, on paper, everything looks good.
The answer is rarely to simply “be more confident”.
Often, there is something much more specific going on: pressure, patterning, old ways of coping, nervous system responses kicking in at exactly the wrong time.
The work is not about becoming someone else.
It is about being able to access more of who you already are when it counts.
This catches a lot of smart women out.
A fast decision can feel powerful because it gives you movement. It cuts through uncertainty. It gives your mind something to land on.
But relief is not always the same as truth.
Sometimes the decision is right. Sometimes it is just the fastest route away from discomfort.
That is why so many women find themselves repeating patterns in different forms. New role, new plan, new promise to themselves, same internal dynamics underneath it all.
The point is not to move slowly for the sake of it.
It is to become clear enough that the move you make actually belongs to you.
She did what a lot of smart women do when they feel unsure.
She tried to learn her way through it.
Podcasts.
Books.
Other people’s takes.
More ideas.
More advice.
More things to think about.
It all felt useful.
But the truth?
It was making it harder to hear herself.
She wanted a clear next step.
A career plan she could trust.
A sense of what was next that did not come from panic, urgency or the thrill of a quick solve.
Because that had happened before too.
A fast decision.
A burst of relief.
A new role, new plan, new direction.
And then, a few months later, the same patterns showed up again.
What she actually needed was not more input.
She needed more space.
More discernment.
More trust in her own signal.
Helping women stop reaching for the first thing that relieves the discomfort and start making choices that are actually right for them is some of the most important work I do.
A lot of high-functioning women do not realise how much this says.
You get to the weekend and think, finally.
And then the weekend comes and it is not really restful. It is just less intense than the week. You are still catching up mentally. Still carrying things. Still trying to come down from the pace of it all.
Sometimes you even find yourself wishing plans would get cancelled just so you could get a bit of space back.
That does not mean you do not love your life.
It does not mean anything is terribly wrong.
It usually means you have been carrying too much, for too long, in a way that has become normal.
When your system gets used to pressure, pace and constant availability, rest is not always as simple as “switching off”.
That is why some women do not need more advice about self-care.
They need a different way of carrying what life is asking of them, so that rest can actually feel like rest again.
What I hear from women is rarely, “I want less.”
It is usually something far more honest.
I want more space in my head.
More room to think.
Less pressure in my body.
Less to carry mentally.
More time that actually feels like mine.
A life that feels good, not just one that looks well-run from the outside.
That matters.
Because so many capable women assume the answer is to be tougher, sharper, more efficient, better at managing it all.
Usually, that is not it.
Usually, they do not want less ambition.
They want a different relationship with it.
One that feels cleaner.
Steadier.
More spacious.
Less expensive.
That is the shift I care about.
