Life Balance & Career Coach
I support highly capable midlife women who feel overwhelmed, unsure who they are now, what they want or how to move forward
You’ve built a solid career.
Good salary. Management role. Respected. Reliable.
On paper, it works.
But it doesn’t fit.
It’s like being a round peg in a square hole. You’re good at it. Maybe even great. But it doesn’t light you up anymore.
You’re not sure you want to climb higher. And you’re not sure you can stay where you are for another 15 years.
The pension is good. The income matters. Your family rely on it. And you don’t even know what you’d do instead.
So you keep going.
Filling the extra time now the kids are older with more work. More projects. More responsibility.
Maybe if you just complete the next thing, it will feel better again.
But deep down, you know it won’t.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not ungrateful. And you’re not stuck because you’re incapable.
You’re stuck because you don't get proper space to think about what you really want and support to work out how to reconnect to what matters to you now.
You're at a career (and maybe life) crossroads.
As a coach I can listen, question, reflect back and gently challenge you...to get the answers you want and need to move forward.
A Client Story That Made Me Smile
Caroline came to coaching feeling overwhelmed about her next steps. She knew she wanted to change something about work, but was torn between progressing up the career ladder further, looking for a new role, setting up her own business, or early retirement.
She’d been thinking and researching, trying to work it out herself, but everything started to feel too big and too foggy. As she listened to podcasts and googled her options she found herself adding to her list of ideas without getting any clearer on which she wanted to do. She was also conscious of her financial position, giving up a good salary could impact the whole family, but that was balanced against working long hours and wanting to have more time to support her daughter and her mother who lived nearby.
Caroline joined my 3-month coaching programme and we worked together in individual coaching sessions, giving her space to talk, to think, with questions to guide and gently challenge her. We used tasks between sessions to move things forward and get clear, to untangle her thinking, explore her values, narrow down her options and consider any fears that could be clouding her decision.
Caroline joined feeling like whilst early retirement was technically an option it wasn't right for her, she'd be bored and it was too final.
By the end Caroline realised it was exactly what she needed, for now, in this stage, but that it was also not the end, that if in time she wanted to re-enter employment or set up a business she could. Taking this pressure off the decision and connecting each option to her strongest values at this point helped her see clearly what she wanted and why.
After our 3-month journey she said:
“The mix of tools, reflection and discussion felt like time well spent, with real takeaways that still feel relevant months later.”
