With the arrival of my 40s, my thoughts often lingered on a decades-long back catalogue of regrets. They haunted me every night at around 3am, stirring up a tonne of guilt, shame, and remorse over past decisions that I couldn't change. Over time, I started to feel a negative impact on my sleep, health, and well-being.

With the arrival of my 40s, my thoughts often lingered on a decades-long back catalogue of regrets. They haunted me every night at around 3am, stirring up a tonne of guilt, shame, and remorse over past decisions that I couldn't change. Over time, I started to feel a negative impact on my sleep, health, and well-being.
And this went on for years!
I came from the generation where nobody spoke about perimenopause, so it wasn't until much later that I learned it was a significant driver of my nocturnal regret sessions (and other really annoying effects of mid-life hormonal shifts).
The problem-solver in me knew there had to be a solution to this never-ending nightmare. So, one night, after I'd truly had enough, I tried an experiment to see what would happen if I revisited my regrets intentionally through a lens of gratitude.
What happened next was an unexpected personal transformation that eventuated in a 60-second TEDx pitch in 2022 and a TEDx talk in 2023.

Most of us are never invited to speak about our career journey. We sit in audiences listening to extraordinary women with impressive titles and while they help to inspire, they can also make some of us feel like we'll never be enough.

Most of us are never invited to speak about our career journey. We sit in audiences listening to extraordinary women with impressive titles and while they help to inspire, they can also make some of us feel like we'll never be enough.
Project Brave is the space where the women leading in the middle — the ones doing the uncelebrated work of grinding, failing, learning, and persevering towards their goals while balancing parenthood, partners, perimenopause, and ageing parents — are finally heard.
My guests would never describe themselves as 'extraordinary'.... but to me, they are! And surely, I am not alone in that thought. Together, we'll discuss the stuff nobody teaches us before we naively leap into the workplace— navigating perception, politics, power, and staying true to our unique selves.
Ready to be a guest? When I hand YOU the microphone on Project Brave, I am honouring your version of success. No polish. No perfection. Just truth, courage, and your own fierce personal brand.

I'm a visionary storyteller who can move a room with truth, clarity, and heart. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, hosting a panel, or MCing an event, I bring a unique combination humility and insight that transforms complex ideas and messy human moments into stories that connect.

I'm a visionary storyteller who can move a room with truth, clarity, and heart. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, hosting a panel, or MCing an event, I bring a unique combination humility and insight that transforms complex ideas and messy human moments into stories that connect.
I've led teams through corporate complexity in a changing world, influenced without authority, and built new ideas from scratch, so I know what it takes to fall down, get up, and keep choosing courage over fear.
That's why my work resonates with businesses and leaders who are hungry for authenticity over perfection. For real human connection over carefully curated gloss.
Whether I am presenting a signature topic on generational diversity, women's mental health, real-world leadership, or working with you to craft a bespoke keynote aligned to your event theme, I aim to leave your audience thinking differently about the world, themselves, and their incredible human potential.
