I get it – I’ve been there. Before I trained as a coach and hypnotherapist I was an award winning television producer – sounds great doesn’t it? But under the surface I was a mess. I was desperately paddling trying to keep the charade going. Constantly feeling knackered and like I was failing at everything – as a mother, wife, daughter and friend. Desperately hoping that this wasn’t the best that life got but not seeing that there was another way.

Did success have to mean broken relationships, never having any time off, losing who I was or what I stood for? Bit by bit the fierce, funny spirit that was the individual who came into this world, was being chipped away.

Did I have to accept this? On the surface things looked great. I’d travelled the world, had several successful careers, a loving husband and two gorgeous girls – but inside I was crumbling – struggling to be everything to everyone. 

Giving everything yet still not feeling fulfilled. Living a life that was a pale comparison to the one I’d imagined when I was young – a life full of dreams where everything felt possible. 

Somehow I’d lost my way, I’d lost my passion and I’d lost my purpose.
