Show up as yourself and step up when the sh*t hits the fan. If you do those two things, you
won’t go too far wrong. Although be warned, they’ll be plenty of people who’ll try and throw you
off course. Just stay true to who you are, what you feel is right. And trust your instincts. You
have a strong connection and intuition so when you get that sense of “knowing”, follow it. It’s
one of your many superpowers.
Message to my younger self
You’ll have fun uncovering all your talents and abilities, as you try more things and become more
courageous. Just know that it’s better to have tried and failed, and learned, than never to have
tried. That goes for pretty much everything.
And be your own best friend sweetheart because when push comes to shove, for an only child, that’s all you’ve got, kid.
What would I do differently now?
I’d have stronger boundaries and be a little more cynical about people’s motivations – particularly the opposite sex! You can always look for the best in others but don’t let that cloud the reality. You don’t need male attention that isn’t healthy. Understanding you’re worth more than that is a Game-changer.

My big WHY – why work matters
The world’s in a mess. And I think one of the reasons it’s in a mess is that we’re out of balance.
Whenever anything is out of balance there’s a problem. There seems to be a dominance of
masculine energy, some of which is pretty toxic. Now we need masculine energy just as we need the feminine – but there needs to be a balance. It’s time for women to step into positions where they can have more impact. My work is to be part of a movement that empowers women to achieve greater influence and exert the kind of power we need in this world. And that’s the soft power of compassion, collaboration, inclusivity, trust and bold vulnerability.
Purpose, mission, words of wisdom
Here to encourage women to find their voice to say what they think and ask for what they want.
My book covers 50 Pearls of Wisdom to help women navigate life’s ups and downs. Some of the
topics I cover are becoming more comfortable with discomfort, turning failure to your
advantage, learning how to meditate, how to be smarter at work and how to deal with on-line
dating among many others.
