My Journey

Cupcakes ended my corporate career. I was 40, building a life as a lawyer turned senior executive in one of Australia’s biggest companies. I was also CEO of my household, with three kids under three. One day, being a ‘superwoman’, I dropped my son at school. I had the suit, heels, red lipstick. I had it all—except cupcakes for 'cupcake day'. My son was in hysterics and I was in crisis mode. When I walked, late and guilty, into my first boardroom meeting, everyone else looked silently at their watches and I had the profound realisation I was the only member of that executive team without a wife. And I thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’ That was my sliding door moment. I started my first business, an online portal connecting busy women with home help. But what I was really selling people wasn’t a babysitter or nanny—it was time and freedom to live a life by design. That epiphany became my first book ‘Me Time’, guiding professional and business women to regain time, energy and control. Me Time became a bestseller. I had found my purpose. I’m an international time management specialist, coach, author and speaker. I work with high performing individuals and teams and have a reputation for helping them find 30 guilt free lost hours of time a month. My clients include L’Oreal, BUPA, Westpac and the European Union. Truth is, we can’t manage time. It’s the great equaliser. Just like money, it’s a precious, limited resource that you need to invest for the greatest possible return. Many executives and business owners I work with think working exceptionally hard and saving for retirement is what planning for life is all about. They don’t realise they can plan for, design and live their perfect life right now. In April 2023 my 5th book will be published —The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live an Audacious Life is about realising we must take control and design our perfect lives today, because later might be too late. It’s a call to action for women who want more. The Life List is not a bucket list: what I want to die before I die, it’s a life list: what I want to do while I’m still young enough to enjoy it. Because after spending decades nurturing careers and family, it’s our turn. Coaching thousands of people around the world has given me laser focus on how to find and invest time to create your greatest life. It’s a gift I’d love to share with you via proven, replicable strategies.
