I grew up in a family marked by alcoholism, emotional immaturity and chaos — where overfunctioning, perfectionism, and people-pleasing became my survival strategy. I learned to read every room, regulate everyone else’s emotions, and ignore my own.

I didn’t finish Year 12. Yet, I became one of the most qualified and highest-earning people in my circles — a corporate executive managing multi-million-dollar departments and high-performing teams.

From the outside, I looked like I had it all. On the inside, I was 30 kilos overweight, deeply unhappy, and constantly second-guessing myself. I was caught between tall poppy syndrome, burnout, and the quiet erosion of self that comes from chasing success while being disconnected from your own body.

I kept wondering: Is this really it? Is this what success is meant to feel like?

Over time, I began to do the deep work — not the “think positive” kind, but the biological and psychological rewiring kind. I learned to listen to the signals my body had been sending for years and started dismantling the conditioning and biases that kept me in overdrive.

In the process, I shed 30 kilos, healed from burnout, built a six-figure coaching practice within my first year, and created a life anchored in peace, purpose, and fulfillment.

Over the past decade, I’ve coached and mentored thousands of women — from executives and entrepreneurs to health professionals, lawyers, teachers, accountants, and operations managers — helping them redefine success and reclaim their authority.
