here’s a little secret: I never wanted to be an entrepreneur

I never yearned for a side hustle or longed to be my own boss. I actually loved my corporate job (shocker!).

So when I happily waved farewell to my team and went on maternity leave back in 2016, I genuinely thought I was going back.

And then, during my maternity leave, I was made redundant. That’s, ahem, a bit of a story and honestly was quite traumatic.

But in hindsight, I can see that it was a blessing. A long commute, unpredictable hours, lack of flexibility and senior leaders who, well, who made me redundant on mat leave, weren’t ever going to be a great combination for me.

In my corporate life I started on the graduate scheme with British Airways and 9 years later went on mat leave as Head of Premium at Heathrow with a team of over 350 and responsibility for the end to end experience of the most financially valuable customers to the business in our flagship terminal (including a team who managed all the celebrities and royal movements!).

But, to be honest, in those early months I was a bit gutted I didn’t have a more tangible ‘skill’. ‘Why the f*ck didn’t I train to be an accountant or something’, was genuinely something I thought… a lot!

I didn't have the foggiest idea how to run a business. I didn't replace my corporate salary within a few months. I wasn't aiming for six-figure launches. I just wanted to find my 'thing'.

On my quest, I've worked with lots of different people and learned a helluva lot of new skills.

Six-month Social Media Manager training - tick. Email Marketing with all the gurus - tick. Advanced Facebook™️ Ads course with a 2-month-old baby in a pandemic - tick.

Workshops, six-week programs, high ticket group coaching, 1:1 coaching, mindset coaching, masterminds - you name it, I've probably been there, done that.

Some of it has been life-changing. Some of it has been frustrating. But all of it has taught me how I want to run my business and what my ‘thing’ is.

and do you know why you should care about all of that?

because my ‘thing’ is me.

And this is what you should know:

  • My ’sunshine’ energy is a big part of why people work with me. My clients always comment that they feel reassured and excited when they come off calls with me (scroll to the bottom of the page for some examples!).

  • I LOVE learning. Honestly, my ADHD brain is a sponge and is happiest when learning something new. Since 2020 I’ve specialised in Facebook™️ Ads but I continue to invest time, energy and money into learning skills. I’ll then happily test what I’ve learnt on my own business, before trying it with my clients once I’ve nailed it!

  • I’m good at simplifying concepts that other delight in making sound really complicated. I’d much rather simple and effective, than complex and ‘impressive’.

  • I’m great at taking big, bold action. And I’m really good at making others feel safe taking bold action when they feel unsure.

Overall, I’m a pretty epic wing women. And if you want to get your marketing from scattergun to shit hot, I’m confident I can help.

I am obsessed with tea. add in a sugary snack and i’m as happy as a 2yr old on a swing.

Chocolate should be room temperature. I’m not available for discussion about keeping it in the fridge.

i’m ‘in the thick’ of it (or so I’m told - a lot!) with my two girls - currently 3 and 7 yrs.

I love them but they hate sleep. It’s hard to be a nice person at 05:10 every morning.

i was diagnosed with adhd in 2022 and am on a bit of a mission to find ways to make the most of my insane brain.

i have tiny ears. seriously. i can’t wear ear buds because they don’t fit.

so, what else do you need to know?
