MY JOURNEY

I spent 14 years as a commercial real estate lawyer in a global law firm. I was a working mum for 8 of those years and my life felt as though it had little room for grace. I went back to work full-time after my first maternity leave, with postnatal depression and that was tough.

I understand the constant juggle, the pressure to achieve, that not always helpful perfectionist streak and the resentment that builds from having little time for yourself.

Since 2012, I have been supporting women as they transition into motherhood and also mentoring them as they create their dream businesses.

I also learned to prioritise myself and about my old behaviour patterns. Always over-achieving, finding it hard to say ‘no’, being my own harshest critic, trying to mother like a lawyer and finding it really hard to slow down.  Sound familiar? 

I found my inner confidence. Began to understand who I really am and I stopped people pleasing. I began asking for what I needed and found that I was able to have those difficult conversations in a constructive way.

In the end, it all came down to me understanding how my relationships with women have impacted the way I make decisions, respond to situations, view myself and others. I worked out how I fitted into a man’s world in an empowered and feminine way. 

Now, let’s not man bash here because most of them are fabulous BUT you know that you have spent your life trying to fit into masculine organisations in a man’s world and it’s hard.

I know that adding GRACE into your life is the way to happiness and more fun. It’s time to let go of old expectations and go for what you want.
