When it comes to what's important to me, my values aren’t just words or ideals, they’re at the heart of who I am and how I live my life. They show up in everything I do and in every choice I make.

Here’s a little peek into what drives me:

• CONNECTION & INCLUSION

I love spending time with diverse, open-minded, fun people, and I’m passionate about creating vibrant, inclusive spaces for midlife women & people from marginalised groups.

Whether it’s a lively lunch, a coffee chat, a networking group, or a coaching session, I’m here to build a community where everyone can connect, be seen & heard, swap stories, and cheer each other on.

There’s nothing more powerful than bringing people together & this isn’t just about networking, it’s about finding real, lasting connections with people who truly get it.

A tribe where everyone feels they belong, even us square pegs who’ve spent far too long trying to fit into round holes.

• FREEDOM

Time freedom, location freedom, creative freedom, personal freedom - I'm IN for all of it!

I believe in designing a life on our own terms, where we’re not stuck, held back, or boxed in by outdated expectations - ours or anyone else’s!

Freedom, for me, is the power to live & work anytime, anyplace, anywhere (remember the Martini advert in the 1980s? IYKYK).

It’s about having the space to explore, create, inspire & blaze new trails towards our dreams.

Life’s too short to stay stuck & I’m here to help others discover what freedom means to them, building lives that give us the flexibility to evolve, transform & thrive as we choose.

• FUN & HAPPINESS

Life’s far too short to be anything but wildly, unapologetically happy.

We only have one life & I want to live mine filled with fun, adventure & a dash of spontaneity.

Happiness isn’t just a feeling; it’s a choice & I choose to live fully, laugh loudly & create memories that will make us smile when telling the stories to our grandkids.

Life’s not a dress rehearsal, so why not go all in? I’m here to make the most of every day & help others break free from “stuck” & dive into “happy.”

Let’s shake things up, embrace the fun & never settle for “just okay.”

Happiness isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have!

• AUTHENTICITY

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." – Oscar Wilde.

For too long, I tried to live by other people’s rules & expectations, trying to fit into boxes that didn’t feel quite right, dimming parts of me that might be “too much” & go against the status quo.

Now, I’m all about bravely embracing every bold, quirky, extroverted part of me.

Yes, it’s true, not everyone will like us, but that’s OK, because it’s not about pleasing everyone; it’s about being confidently "us" & surrounding ourselves with people who love us for it.

Authenticity, for me, means showing up real, because when we show up as our true selves, we attract the right people, the ones who lift us up, cheer us on & are meant to be in our lives.

• IMPACT WITH KINDNESS

If we can Dream it, we can Do it!

Making a difference is important to me, but it doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

I believe in impact with a heart of kindness because a bit of empathy can go a long way: a simple act of compassion, a helping hand, or even a smile can be a game-changer as you never know what someone else is going through.

Kindness creates ripples we may never see, but we feel them & it costs nothing, but can change everything.

It’s not about changing the world all at once, but starting with the people right in front of you.

Kindness may be simple, but it’s powerful, and it’s that impact, done with empathy, that fuels everything I do.
