Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Is this really it?”
That was me—ticking all the boxes, climbing the corporate ladder—while quietly breaking inside.

In this episode, I take you deep into my story. The moment I knew the system wasn’t built for us. The day I promised my late mum I’d build a different life—for myself and for my girls.

If you’re a high-achieving woman trying to balance motherhood, business, and self-worth… this one’s for you.

🎙️ What you’ll learn:

  • Why success doesn’t have to mean burnout
  • The emotional cost of chasing someone else’s version of “having it all”
  • What redefining success can look like—on your terms
  • Why presence matters more than perfection in parenting and business
