Work - earn - soul starts dying - feel unfulfilled - leave work - live off savings whilst trying to figure out ‘what next’ - soul revives - money starts running out - find new work - realise it’s not the one - cycle repeats.

Buenos Aires hadn't resolved my quarter life crisis, but it had taught me a valuable lesson while I was teaching business English in-house. It was that, while I’d created a way of working that I enjoyed, the work itself didn’t bring me to life.
What did bring me to life, as I later discovered, was coaching people to bring the best out of them.

Coaching really spoke to me and I found a uni offering a MSc in Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology.

It was a big investment and a big risk. My friends were getting promotions and rising up the career ladder, I didn’t know anyone dropping out and starting again at 29. But, I had to change my pattern and try something different.
That was the moment I decided to take a bet on me.

Those 2 years were the toughest and best of my life. I worked 4 days a week and studied the rest of the time. The first year I burnt out, had a panic attack, wanted to drop out, got frustrated, doubted and questioned myself….but I persisted.

And in the second year, I got a breakthrough! I decided to actually try every single coaching tool on myself and apply every single positive psychology model to my life. Basically, I coached myself. I got over my perfectionism, I worked out how to not burn out, I nailed time management like a boss, I worked on my negative thinking patterns and became positive, optimistic, and actually started to believe in myself.

and it paid off!

I found myself working at Mastered as the Head of Coaching. I was coaching creatives, recruiting coaches, building a coaching team and coaching in-house at this amazing start-up.
 In this job I coached over one thousand creatives - photographers, creative directors, art directors, hair stylists, make-up artists, fashion stylists, fashion brand owners - from all over the world - Korea to Kazakhstan, Canada to Chile, America to Australia. I coached these passionate creatives on overcoming the very same problems I had just overcome.

It clicked: I was meant to face all those hurdles so I could figure out how to overcome them and help others do the same. The next step of my ever-unfolding journey was to work for myself. I did. My creativity exploded as I went through exponential self-development going through the highs and lows of building a business.

My biggest motivator through it all, and to this day, is knowing that the further I go outside my comfort zone, the more risk and challenges I take on, the bigger my toolbox grows, the better coach I become and the further I can take my clients outside their comfort zone in order for them to become the person they’ve always wanted to be. 
So if any of this resonated, then I am probably the coach for you. Let's talk.
