"I reckon we bumble around between a state of I'm on top of things, I'm in control, I knew what my goal is, I know what I should be doing today."
"I had got the busiest week planned for the podcast. We're planning the rebrand and the launch, so I got calls for that."
"I can't go into a belly of doom and let this overwhelm completely engulf me every time I just get a few emails from school."
"Distance. Put yourself some distance and disconnect with it."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
