Because when women flourish the world flourishes.
For years as a corporate executive, I invested all my energy in trying to be perfect and pleasing others, only to find myself with a brain that never rested and a body begging for a break. I realised trying to keep up with the layers of "should" and the unsustainable societal definition of what a successful working mum looked like was draining my soul, my health and my potential.
I longed for more meaningful work, more freedom in how I worked and to be more present with the ones I love.
The idea of making change felt overwhelming, until one day I asked my 3-year-old son to come hang out with me and he told me he couldn’t he was “too busy”. The words struck my heart like a lightning bolt, my imbalanced busy life was showing him how to burn out, and how to deprioritise the ones you love and yourself in the pursuit of more.
So I did something crazy and turned my life upside down in pursuit of happiness. I left a sixteen-year career as an executive, relocated my family from Perth back to Melbourne, left an 18-year relationship, and started my own purpose-driven company Hacking Happy Co.
I now live a flourishing life and leverage my unique expertise (spanning 25 years) across corporate, entrepreneurship, psychology and trauma-informed therapy to empower passionate heart-led women to scale their impact so that they can live the freedom and inner peace they long for whilst making a difference through their work.
As a purpose-led lifestylepreneur I’ve had the privilege of speaking and facilitating for many of the biggest companies around the world on the topic of flourishing and how to live it on your terms. I have a Masters of Business, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology (with Honours underway) and I’m a coach and mentor to 1000s of women around the globe.
I’m the published author of Hacking Happiness, a Harvard Business Review contributor, a passionate yoga teacher, a faculty member at the esteemed Singularity University, and a trauma-informed therapist studying with world-renowned teacher Dr. Gabor Mate. I’m also an expert in adaptability with my world-first Intentional Adaptability skills framework to support human flourishing recently published in the American Consulting Journal of Psychology.
I host The Hacking Happy podcast and you can get a feel for my vibe by listening here.
My skillset is unique and intentionally so, I’m a holistic, no-bullshit, hands on, evidence-backed guide ready to help you practically remove the mindset and skill barriers that hold you back from creating the freedom and impact you were born to have in this world.
I'd love the opportunity to journey with you.
Imagine what could be possible for you if you had a Penny in your pocket!
