THE SUCCESS OF EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE THE INSPIRATION TO ANOTHER.

Born in Belfast in the 1970s as the oldest of seven children, I grew up during challenging times in Northern Ireland, but I had a normal upbringing. After earning my degree, I moved to England as part of the generation encouraged to seek better opportunities elsewhere. A decade later, my first trip outside Europe sparked a love for travel that has stayed with me ever since. By 40, unmarried or a family of my own (heaven forbid!) and with a successful career, I decided to fulfill a vision I had long held for my life and moved to the countryside.

Approaching 50, I began seeking deeper fulfillment. Realizing that I tended to make major life decisions around landmark birthdays, and staying true to this pattern, I sold my home with the aim of buying two properties—one in the city and one in the country. Along the way, I honed practical skills like tiling and plastering, even as I reached the peak of my career as a Global Vice President for a large company.

Despite my outward success, I wasn’t truly happy. In December 2022, feeling stressed, unfulfilled, and unhealthy, I decided it was time to prioritize myself. I resigned from my job and embarked on a journey of self-care and personal growth. I focused on my health, worked with a trainer and nutritionist, and completed diplomas in life coaching, spiritual life-coaching, human design, astrology and nutrition. I also finally booked a month long bucket-list trip to Africa—travelling alone - a dream I had put off for 25 years.

Today, I prioritize self-care and embrace a balanced lifestyle. I am now ready to embark on the next stage of my journey with a focus on what truly brings me joy—helping people see possibilities and become the best versions of themselves.
