Growing up, I wanted to be a musician.  A massive dose of performance anxiety and being laughed off a stage killed it for me.  Result:  Dazed and confused, without the one thing I loved to do the most.

Then followed a career of ‘jobs’ I mostly hated, a laundry list of events that all led back to me believing I wasn’t enough as I was. Relationship issues, life threatening health issues, rage against the machine, self-esteem issues, single parenting, step parenting, you name it I have probably given it a go!

Early on my career choices were made for the wrong reasons—usually money—because I didn’t have a better process for making those decisions, and because I had lost that thing in me, my music, literally. It’s what made me, me. I smashed prestigious roles in media and finance, but they didn’t light me up, instead they burnt me out, over and over again..

It took until I was thirty something to start doing something for myself, not because of rebellion, desperation or finances but because I deserved it and was ready. I studied massage and polarity therapy, then counselling and coaching, all skills I use today as a specialist career counsellor and life coach.  I recently completed postgraduate studies in career development, not bad for a girl who could not even get a degree back in the day.  When things are right, the right things happen.
