Practical advice to support you with your career, business, money, beating burnout, creating life/work balance and getting it all done. 


I will support you to get unstuck and build the life and business of your dreams. 

Welcome!

Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not holding you back.

A lot of what I hear from the women that I coach is that they have the skills, the experience, the qualifications, and yet they still feel stuck.

It’s one thing to make sure you’re ticking all the boxes that your boss is looking for or that make your resume stand out, but it’s another thing to address the things you can’t see that are making you unsure or falling back into the same old patterns.

These quiet, unspoken patterns play out behind the scenes, and they’re very real.

In this week’s episode of the Aligned Achiever Podcast, I’m discussing three of the most common unspoken blocks that I see in women. The ones that aren’t covered in your typical career advice or posted on Linked In.

The 3 Invisible Blocks You Didn’t Know Were Affecting Your Career

Future-proofing your career isn’t just about keeping up.

It’s not just about learning new skills, making yourself
irreplaceable or being tactical.

Some of it starts within.
This part of future-proofing your career is about knowing who you are, what you stand for and how you can adapt without losing yourself in the process.

In this week’s episode of the Aligned Achiever Podcast, we’re redefining what it means to future-proof your career and building strong inner foundations that will stand the test of time and allow you to navigate the unknown with ease and intention.

Not all pivots make headlines.

Some happen quietly – in a meeting, in a moment, in the mirror.

What if the real pivot isn’t about something you do, but about who you’re becoming?

In this week’s episode of the Aligned Achiever Podcast, we’re redefining what a career pivot really is. It’s not always about a new job or big move. Sometimes, it’s the subtle, powerful shift in how you lead yourself. Because real change? It starts within.

Come and do a Spring Reset with me!

It really doesn’t matter if it’s Spring where you are or not, it’s the end of the first quarter. It’s been 90 days or more since you settled into your work plans for this year, and set goals for your life. Whatever it is that you were working towards at the start of the year, now is the time to have a quick check in and see where you’re at.

In this week’s episode of The Aligned Achiever Podcast, I’m walking you through reconnecting back to your values, energy and direction. We’re checking in with three journal prompts to check in with what’s ready to come into your career and leadership.

The questions we’re reflecting on are:
What’s ready to bloom in your career or leadership?
What needs to be cleared or composted to make room for that growth?
What does aligned momentum look like for you?

I encourage you to objectively reflect on the last quarter so you can adjust and pivot where needed for the season of your career and life that you’re currently in.

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Nassim to hear more about her journey from high flying corporate lawyer to starting her own professional home organising business, right here in Hong Kong where she and her team help busy professionals streamline and organise their physical spaces whilst create calm and ease in their mental spaces.

I asked Nassim on the podcast because her story of how she navigated her transition from litigation and international arbitration to reassessing her direction to found her own business, is a wonderful example of how to navigate a career transition for yourself.

All of our paths will be different but I hope you enjoy Nassim’s candid telling of her journey and how she discovered her path to aligned achievement.

I’ve been reflecting recently on my own career journey, and also what’s been going on for my clients and the stage of their careers that they’re in.

The idea of changing things up and flipping things on their head is in the air for a lot of people right now. This could be for personal reasons driven by a change in values or circumstances, or even something externally driven like a change in the organisation or a redundancy where you’re having to change and adapt .In today’s episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m talking about the five signs that it might be time for a career 180 so that you can begin to get on the front foot and be proactive about the situation that you’re in.

There comes a point in your career or business when you just need to take a break or pause.

For high-achievers this can be a really daunting prospect.

If you’re a high achiever you’re likely hardworking with big goals. You likely have a strong desire to make a meaningful impact with what you do.

As we continue to live longer and longer, our careers are extending further and further out.

If our careers are spanning multiple decades it’s inevitable that we will go through seasons – much like the natural world does around us.
