About | Calm support when work needs to change
I work with people who know something in their working life needs to change — but find the next step heavy, uncertain, or hard to hold alone.
My role is to help you steady the decision, reduce the pressure around it, and move forward in a way you can live with.
That might mean reshaping a role, changing how visible or available you need to be, testing a new direction, or holding a stay-or-go decision while you explore what comes next.
This work isn’t about hype, confidence talk, or big leaps.
It’s about thinking clearly, taking responsibility seriously, and making steady progress — without forcing certainty.
If you’re at this point, the most useful next step is a calm conversation — not more thinking on your own.
Why this approach
I work with people who take their responsibilities seriously and don’t want to make decisions lightly.
Over time, I’ve seen how capable, thoughtful people can get stuck — not because they lack clarity, but because the decision in front of them carries real weight.
My approach is calm, grounded, and practical. I don’t push for action. I help steady the decision, reduce the noise around it, and create the conditions where movement feels possible.
What matters most to me is seeing people move from holding everything in their head to taking a next step they can live with — not through forced confidence, but because the decision has been given the time and support it needs.

If you’re holding a decision that matters and want somewhere steady to think it through, let’s talk.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. If you’re holding a decision that matters and want somewhere steady to think it through, I’m here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a business coaching programme?
No. This container doesn’t teach you how to build a business, follow a framework, or launch something specific.
It supports you through the decisions, pacing, and transition into business ownership – so you move forward without rushing, burning out, or losing trust in yourself.
Who is this support actually for?
This is for women who have already decided to change their work and move into business ownership.
If you’re still undecided about whether you want to make a change, this container will feel premature.
If the decision is made internally and the transition feels heavy or complex, this is exactly the stage it’s designed for.
What do I get from 12 sessions?
You get steady, ongoing support during a high-stakes transition.
This includes:
- help thinking clearly under pressure
- space to sense-check decisions before they become expensive
- support pacing the transition so it doesn’t collapse later
- challenge when you’re overriding your energy or values
- support following through in a way that actually holds
The outcome isn’t a finished business.
It’s a transition you don’t lose yourself in.
Why is this spread over time rather than weekly?
Because transitions don’t happen neatly or on a timetable.
This container is designed to support you as decisions arise, not force progress for the sake of momentum. Sessions are used when support is most needed, so the work stays relevant and proportionate.
What if I don’t know exactly what business I’m building yet?
That’s okay.
You don’t need a fully defined business model to benefit from this support.
This work focuses on how you move through the transition, not on telling you what to build.
I’ve tried things before and nothing stuck. How is this different?
This work isn’t about motivation, mindset fixes, or pushing through resistance.
It’s about supporting the quality of your decisions while everything is changing – so the action you take is sustainable, not something you have to recover from later.
What if I wobble, stall, or feel overwhelmed during the process?
That’s expected – and it’s part of why this container exists.
You’re not meant to hold a transition like this alone.
The support is there specifically for the moments where things feel unclear, heavy, or easy to rush.
Who is this NOT for?
This container is not a fit if:
- you want a step-by-step business system
- you’re looking for motivation or accountability without reflection
- you’re still undecided about changing your work
It is for women who want to move into business ownership deliberately, steadily, and with integrity.
