To educate, inspi

re, and empower you to take back control of your life so you can lead a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfilment. You can trust me to motivate, nudge and hold you and your team accountable. I’ll trust you to commit energy and effort to achieving your goals

Between us we’ll skill you up to swap self-sabotage for self belief. You’ll be prepared to back yourself. You’ll know what you need more of or less of or what you need to do totally differently. If you’re ready to go for a goal that seems light years away or just out of reach, I’ll help you get there. If you’re keen to change but lost for direction I’ll help you find the path. See yourself here? Right now I’m coaching people who need to:

• Learn some sanity saving switch offs from their high pressure 24/7 professions
After an award winning decade in the demanding real estate industry I know how much this matters
• Work through the unglamorous, unpaid essentials to establish their new businesses
After building four successful small businesses I ’get’ what it takes to grind out the grunt work and still stay inspired and on track
• ‘Shape up’ for all kinds of endurance events – changing careers, completing a marathon, coming out of their shells
After three complete career transformations and thousands of kilometers on the road I do disciple and commitment quite well

Today felt more like Funky Friday… and not in the fun way.

I’ve been in a bit of a funk all day. I did my workout this morning, couldn’t quite settle into work, and found myself in that frustrating loop of start-stop-procrastinate-faff.

This afternoon I headed out for a sunset walk, which has definitely lifted my mood a little, but there is a lingering weight still there.

It’s a reminder that even when we lean on our best practices, sometimes the body and mind are simply asking us to slow down. Not everything needs to be fixed or forced. Sometimes we just need to pause, take in the scenery, and let ourselves just be.

What’s your go-to when your energy is low and nothing seems to shift it?

I’d love to hear, drop your thoughts in the comments.

It’s Friday… how are you feeling?

As many of you start to wind down for the weekend, it’s an ideal time to pause and check in with yourself.

I created this short video to explore why intentional self-care isn’t a personal luxury, it’s a professional necessity.

Whether it’s five quiet minutes to yourself, time in nature, movement, connection, or simply doing nothing at all, these practices help you to show up more fully. For your families. Your loved ones. And yes, even your work.

I invite you to take a moment to watch, and more importantly, carve out some time this weekend to recharge your batteries and fill your cup.

Because when you do, you’re not only more present for those around you, you also return to work re-energised, focused, and feeling well.

Let this weekend be a reset, not just a break.

Is your workplace mental health strategy falling short, despite your best efforts?

You’re not alone.

Many leaders and managers care about their teams, but often unknowingly make common mistakes that can undermine even the most well-intentioned mental health initiatives.

I’ve created a free, practical guide that breaks down:

✅ The main mistakes that sabotage workplace mental health plans

✅ Evidence-based strategies to avoid them

✅ Real-world insights for leaders aiming to make a lasting impact.

It’s a must-read if you want your workplace mental health strategy to be sustainable.

Exciting News

After many hours of work behind the scenes, I’m so excited to officially launch my brand new website.

This has been a challenging and rewarding project. It reflects not only the work I do, but also the values I stand for. It’s been a labour of love, filled with late nights, long lists, plenty of coffee, and sooo many tech support calls, but I’m so proud of the result.

I couldn’t have brought this vision to life without the creative brilliance and steady support of Terri Williams from studiosondar. Terri, thank you for your patience, insight, and all the extra miles you went to help me pull this together. Your program helped me transform ideas into a website that not only looks beautiful, it reflects my purpose - with impact.

If you’re curious to explore my work in workplace mental health, wellbeing, and leadership, or want to know more about the services I offer, I’d love for you to take a look.

And if you're interested in building healthier, braver, and more inclusive workplaces, please get in touch. This is what I do.

Moving away to learn and grow, and watching growth happen on both sides

Leaving my partner Sunny-Michelle and family to pursue study on the Sunshine Coast was hard.

It felt tough and painful at first.
Uprooting yourself from the people and places you love takes courage, and it’s often filled with fear and self-doubt.

But there is an unexpected part…

Within 24 hours of landing, I settled into my home here, set up an office, and started doing the things I’d normally lean on Sunny for, because it was easier.

Meanwhile, she’s back home learning to do the things I’d usually take care of, too.

We’re both growing in our own different ways.

We’ve even found a new ritual: FaceTime dinners, where we cook, chat, and stay connected differently.

This experience is teaching me:
Change is often uncomfortable, but it’s also incredibly empowering when it’s handled with care.

And it reminds me so much of what happens in teams and workplaces too.

When someone steps out, whether it’s to take leave, start a new role, or move on, it can feel disruptive at first. But it also opens up space:

• For others to step up
• For new skills to be developed
• For fresh ways of working to emerge

It’s a shift.
And when done with intention and support, it can be enriching for everyone involved.

A new chapter begins.

There’s no big smiling photo to mark this moment, because honestly, this is hard.

The logistics of relocating to the East Coast went smoothly… but emotionally, it’s been more like riding out rough seas.

Today, I land in Brisbane. My car arrived yesterday and will be ready for me when I get there. A dear friend has generously opened her home and heart to me, and I’m incredibly grateful for the soft place to land.

Uni kicks off on Tuesday. Another new beginning.

While I’m based on the Sunshine Coast, I’m also seeking opportunities to speak, facilitate or present. If you know of any organisations looking to improve workplace mental health and wellbeing, whether it’s through strategy, training, or leadership development - I’d love to connect.

Thank you for walking alongside me and encouraging me, it means more than you may ever know.
New coast, same mission.

This morning I’m delivering Lifeline WA’s Managing Challenging Interactions workshop with the dedicated team at the Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA).

It’s such a privilege to work with professionals who are often on the front line of complex conversations and high-stakes support.

This session also marks my last WA-based delivery for a few months, as I head to the Sunshine Coast later this week to start my Psychology Honours.

Today, I’m packing up my car to send it across the country to the Sunshine Coast.
In just over two weeks, I leave WA and step into a brand new chapter. I’m feeling all the feelings.

This morning, my daughter greeted me and I burst into tears. There’s excitement, of course. But also hesitation. Apprehension. Deep sadness at leaving my family. And yet… the moment I think about University of the Sunshine Coast, I’m lit up with possibility.

It’s a strange and beautiful thing to be equally pulled by what you’re leaving and what you’re walking toward.

The truth is, I’ve never been one for big surprises or spontaneous leaps. I like to plan. Prepare. Make informed, considered decisions. But this move, this decision to say yes to something I’ve dreamed of my entire life is none of those things.

It’s spontaneous. It’s scary.
And it’s exactly what I need to do.

At the tender and slightly hilarious age of 55, I’m doing the thing that excites me and terrifies me all at once.

This is the messy magic of living a life that’s truly yours, while promising your family these sacrifices will not be in vain.

Day 2: Busselton

After a powerful day of connection and courageous conversations in Bunbury, we’ve headed to Busselton to deliver more mental health session.

Together with Engel Prendergast and Penny Jakovcevich, I’m honoured to be part of this lifeline_wa workshop series, proudly sponsored by Rio Tinto, right here in our beautiful South West.

📍 Today’s line-up includes:
• Vicarious Trauma – 8:00am to 10:00am (Free public session)
• Talking About Su***de – 10:30am to 12:30pm (Free public session – registration link in comments)

These aren’t just workshops they’re safe, supportive spaces to learn, reflect, and walk away with tools that could change or save a life.

If you’re in the area, we’d love to see you at one of the free public sessions.

Kicking off an important two days of conversations — right here on my home ground in Bunbury and Busselton

Together with the brilliant Engel and Penny, I’m proud to be delivering a series of workshops presented by lifeline_wa and sponsored by Rio Tinto focused on building healthier, safer workplaces and communities.

📍 Today we’re in Bunbury, starting with:
• Psychological Safety in the Workplace

This afternoon’s “Talking About Mental Health” session is open to the public — a free community workshop running from 4:00pm–5:30pm at the Bunbury Sports Centre.

All are welcome, whether you’re a leader, a co-worker, a mate, or someone who cares.

These conversations matter. We’d love to see you there.

This morning I’m heading into Casuarina Prison to deliver su***de prevention talks in partnership with lifeline_wa and the Department of Justice.

This is not light work, but it’s important. Conversations around su***de are never easy, but they can be life saving.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to step into spaces like this and connect with people who are often overlooked.

We all deserve to be heard, supported, and reminded that hope is possible.
