From Daydreaming to Courage

Welcome to my blog! It fills my heart with joy that you’ve stumbled upon this little corner of the internet!

Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about being the right person in the right place at the right time, with just the right amount of confetti falling around you? You know, that moment when you think, “Yes, this is it! I can feel it in my bones!”? Has that dream ever made a grand entrance into your life, complete with a spotlight and a marching band?

Well, buckle up, because that’s exactly what’s happening to me right now! I’ve got the family I’ve always dreamt of, and guess what? I’m brave to say, I’m launching my new career! (Insert jazz hands here.) If you’re here, you probably already know that. But what you might not realise is that this moment is the culmination of many different strands of my experience, woven together over time. This is exactly what I’ve wanted to do forever, and I’ve worked hard to bring it to life, step by step, following what I lovingly call my Master Plan.

The Master Plan involved a lot of learning, seriously hard work, some reshuffling and a great deal of readjusting - in other words, life as usual. But I am not here today to bore you with the details of my two (actual) Master’s degrees, my CV or my family history. Instead, I want to share the exhilarating rush of watching my vision unfold, like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat - except this rabbit has been a couple of decades in the making.

Let’s talk bravery for a sec. I love how Brené Brown explains that courage is about embracing vulnerability and stepping into the unknown. She speaks about “couraging,” or the act of choosing courage over comfort. It’s not about feeling brave, but rather taking action despite the urge to hide under your blankets with a tub of ice cream. (Though let’s be real, sometimes that’s a perfectly valid option too!)

So here we are: you and I, embarking on this brave adventure together. Without you, my Master Plan would be a little sad and very lonely. I can’t wait to get to know you - if I don’t already - and to sprinkle some of my coaching magic your way.

So, welcome! Seriously, it makes me so happy that you’re here! I can’t wait to hear from you and share this journey together!
