I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time.

Climbing the corporate ladder also didn't make sense when there was always going to be a salary cap but unlimited increasing work demands. The math didn't add up for me. So I decided to create a different path to have:
But I couldn't just quit my job with a family to support. And I also couldn't just quit my dream of creating the life I wanted. That's why I do what I do - to work full-time, run my coaching business on the side, so that I can prioritize my family. I talk about this on the podcast this week and why pursuing your dreams and goals is so important, especially if you're a mom. Listen to it on your favourite podcast player:

Have you ever written a LinkedIn post, felt good about it, then suddenly your chest tightens, your mind races, and you quietly close the app? You tell yourself, 'This is silly. It’s just LinkedIn.' But your body feels like you’re about to step on stage in front of 10,000 people. In this week’s podcast episode, I break down why that happens and what you can do about it. This isn’t about algorithms or content tricks. It’s about the psychology behind your fear of being seen. Your Brain Is Wired...
Over the years in HR, I’ve noticed something. It’s often the smartest, most capable women in the room who stay the quietest. They have the ideas, see the problems before anyone else and know how to make things better. But when it’s time to speak up in a meeting, ask for what they want, or show up on LinkedIn, they stay silent. Not because they’re weak, don’t care or that they’re not good enough. They stay silent because being seen doesn’t feel safe. Why smart women stay silent In this week’s...
