The Leap To Lead

I Knew I Needed Help...

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 03:00:00 +1200

But building something meaningful, whether it’s a business, a leadership path, or a new chapter in life, asks something different of us. It asks for perspective. It asks for support. It asks for proximity to people who can see things we can’t always see ourselves.

Why Working Harder Isn’t the Answer (And What Is)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Hard work will always matter. But in this season, it’s not about working harder.

It’s about working in alignment. It’s about directing your effort instead of defaulting it.

It’s about allowing yourself to evolve, and building accordingly.

The Quiet Frustration No One Talks About in Midlife

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +1200

I want to talk to you about something that rarely gets said out loud. It’s not dramatic. It’s not a crisis. It’s not the kind of thing you announce over dinner. It’s quieter than that.

It’s the feeling of looking at your life - the career you built, the family you’ve nurtured, the responsibilities you carry and thinking…

Is this it?

Clarity changes everything

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Over the past few years I have refined, niched, simplified and strengthened my business. On the surface it may look like I just “found my niche”. But what really happened was deeper.

I became clear.

And clarity is something we can create.

You do not need more noise. You need clarity.

The business I started was not the business I run now

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Businesses evolve. We evolve. The key is not avoiding change. It is making sure that change is grounded in clarity rather than fear.

If you are feeling the pull to pivot, refine or reposition, you are not behind. You are growing.

And sometimes the most powerful move you can make is stepping back to ask, what is this really becoming?

That is exactly what we do in a Business Clarity Diagnostic. We step back. We look at the whole picture. And we decide, strategically, what comes next.

The hardest decision was not the strategy

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Starting is never neat. It is rarely comfortable.

But it is powerful.

If you are standing on that edge right now, wondering whether you are ready, the truth is this. You do not need the whole business mapped out. But you do need clarity around who you are, what you bring, and where you want to head.

That is the work we do inside a 90 minute Business Clarity Diagnostic. We slow it down. We untangle the noise. We find the starting point that feels solid.

What to Strengthen Before You Grow Your Business

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +1200

The business world often encourages acceleration. More offers. Bigger launches. Faster scaling.

But sustainable growth is rarely about speed. It is about structure.

If you are feeling the pull toward expansion this year, pause long enough to ask what that growth will amplify. Clarity first. Then growth.

Readiness Isn’t About More Confidence. It’s About Clarity!

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Women tell me they’re waiting to feel more confident. More certain. More ready. But in my experience, confidence rarely arrives first. Clarity does.

If you’ve been waiting to feel more confident, it might not be confidence you’re missing. It might simply be clarity.

The Hidden Gaps That Keep Smart Women Stuck in Business

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +1200

On the outside, everything can look fine. The business is running. Clients are coming in. You are capable, experienced and committed. And yet, underneath it all, there is a sense of being stuck. Not stuck enough to stop, but stuck enough to feel frustrated.

If you are feeling capable but constrained, clarity is your next step.

You Can’t Plan What You’re Not Ready For

How to Design a Year That Supports You

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:00:00 +1200

We’ve been told that if we want something badly enough, we will find a way. But for many women I work with, motivation is not the issue. Capacity is.

If you want this year to support you rather than stretch you beyond capacity, planning is where it begins. The Annual Planning Tool was created to help you design a year that reflects your values, your energy and your ambitions, without sacrificing the things that matter most.

January Hustle vs Reality

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 03:00:00 +1200

Every January begins with good intentions. Fresh notebooks. Clear goals. A quiet belief that this year will finally be different.

If you are ready to stop reacting and start directing, this is your next step.

Why "Sales Season" is a Trap for Your Business

Every year, the pressure mounts. Notifications for "flash sales," "Black Friday deals," and "end-of-year discounts" start filling your inbox, and you might feel the urge to join in.

As a business owner, it’s easy to think you have to slash your prices to compete, especially during the holiday season.

Are You Winging It in Business?

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 03:00:00 +1200

Be honest with yourself for a moment… Do you ever feel like you’re just making it up as you go?

You started your business because you wanted freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. But instead of feeling confident and in control, you sometimes feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.

That’s what I call “winging it.” And while it might get you started, it won’t get you where you want to go.

Here are 7 signs you’re winging it in your business, and why it’s time to build stronger foundations.

1. You don’t know your break-even point

You’re selling, you’re working, but you don’t actually know the minimum you need to earn to cover your costs. That uncertainty keeps you on edge.

2. You’re focused only on clients or sales

You put all your energy into serving clients or making sales, but little thought into the business side - the systems, numbers, and structures that make growth possible.

3. Your systems live in your head (or on scraps of paper)

If someone else had to step in tomorrow, they wouldn’t know where to start. You know things could be smoother, but you haven’t taken the time to set them up.

4. Growth feels inconsistent

Some months are good, others leave you wondering if this will ever really work. Without a plan, it’s hard to build predictable success.

5. You haven’t defined your true strengths

You know you’re capable, but you’re not clear on what makes you different - or how to leverage that in your business.

6. You haven’t tuned into your bigger purpose

You’ve been so busy serving others that you haven’t stopped to ask: What do I really want? What am I here to create?

7. You feel like you’re winging it

Deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. You want to feel confident, clear, and in control of your business - not constantly second-guessing yourself.

Here’s the truth. If you see yourself in even two or three of these signs, it’s time to stop winging it.

Because your business doesn’t just need you to work harder, it needs stronger foundations. Clarity around your numbers. Systems that make things easier. Confidence in your strengths and purpose.

And the good news? You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Ready to Build Your Foundations? I’d love to help you move from winging it to owning it.

In a Leap Forward Strategy Session, we’ll:

Pulling Back The Curtain

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:00:00 +1200

So this week I am doing something different, I am pulling back the curtain on myself. I am giving you a look into my world and something that I am going through at the moment.

Ordinarily I would work through this, and once I had all the answers and was clear about a way forward I would then share with you - et voila this is what I’ve done. But I felt there is something more powerful in sharing the process I am going through and why I’m going through it.

I am sharing why I feel like something is changing. What the signs have been for me.

I am sharing the process I have worked through so far, the types of questions I have asked myself and what’s coming up for me.

You will hear what’s important to me, and why. Also a really personal reflection on my last conversation with my dad.

I don’t have the answers (yet) but I have lots of questions, and I am inviting you to join me as I work through these.

Have you noticed the moment you start to feel good about yourself, something happens in your mind that says “I don’t have enough time for this” or “I’m just not good enough” or “you should just stick with what you know”?

These limiting beliefs can stifle your progress and stop you from living the life you want.

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2022, I am presenting a four part series of insight and reflection that will take you from feeling lost and lacking confidence in yourself, to having clarity on your strengths and a positive mindset.

Too often as women, and especially as mothers, we feel lost. We have lost our life. We have lost ourselves. We have forgotten what we like to do. We have forgotten what we can do. With this four part series I want to help women just like you. I want to help you to understand that you’re not alone. I want to help you to understand how you ended up here. I want to help you to rediscover yourself and get out of this rut. Because, and this is really important to understand, you can change your life, this doesn’t have to be permanent.

It's helping hands week for the girls and they decided they wanted to help me with work.

After listening to part of an interview I did, they wanted to turn the camera on me.

Together we laughed, we cried, and we discussed some tough questions!

So, you were hoping to take that trip back home or vacation in your favourite spot… but everything has changed.

3 Steps to Reset Yourself

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 13:00:00 +1200

Have you ever had that feeling, that something isn’t quite right in your world? That feeling in the pit of your stomach that something is a bit off balance. You’re just not sure what it is that’s not right.

We all stumble at times, that's the journey

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 13:00:00 +1200

Our mindset is so powerful, it can help us achieve great things, but it can also derail us. This week I am sharing my interview with Suzanne, a client who loves her full time job as a teacher, she loves her family, but was struggling with a negative mindset.

Suzanne's journey has been one of overcoming mum guilt, and the mindset challenges that life presents all of us. As a result of our work she is more positive in herself and focuses on what she can do, she has carved out time in her life for her own interests and passions, and as a result is showing up better for herself and her family.

Feeling Angry With Your Life?

Mon, 31 May 2021 13:00:00 +1200

Feeling angry with your life? It's time to put a stop to that.

Anger is a natural human emotion. We feel anger when we see an injustice. We feel anger when horrible things happen. We feel anger when people hurt us or our family. It’s natural to feel anger, it is an emotion.

So why do we sometimes feel angry with our lives?

When we feel angry with our lives, it’s often a sign that we need to take action to put something right, but it’s important to do that in a meaningful way.

If you are feeling angry with your life, there are three simple strategies you can use to put your life right.

Why does this remain elusive?

Mon, 24 May 2021 13:00:00 +1200

If you could do anything, what would you do?

I asked this question on social media recently, and it was interesting the responses I received. “Good question!” “This is what I always struggle with” “I wish I knew”

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +1200

Moving can be super challenging, but it can also be so rewarding.

Which is why today I want to share with you the 3 things that no one told you about moving abroad.

5 Questions You Need to Answer Before Moving Abroad

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +1200

We all make the decision to move abroad for different reasons - we want to experience new things; this is where the career opportunities are; we want to share the world with our children… The list of possible reasons is endless.

No matter your reason for considering a move, there are some key questions you should answer.

The Key Signs Your Move Isn't All OK

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +1200

We are coming to that time of year where many families are about to move and face settling into a new city, new country, new schools and new homes.

There are times when it doesn’t all go smoothly.

So how do you know if your move is having an impact on your child?

6 Tips For Families Moving Abroad

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +1200

We choose to move abroad for different reasons, some feel that they have to do it to further their own or their spouses career. Others make the deliberate choice to move because they can see opportunities for themselves and their families.

No matter why you are moving abroad, the process sparks a whole range of emotions. From being happy and excited about the new opportunities, to feeling sad and empty about what you’re leaving behind. Some days we feel like we have it all under control, then other days we just want to cry in the corner through sheer overwhelm. Whether adults or children, the emotional roller coaster is very real.

Let’s be honest, the emotional roller coaster is going to happen no matter what you do or how you plan. The good news is, there are steps you can take to reduce the range of roller coaster emotions.

Essential Resources for Expat Mums in 2021

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +1200

Life as an expat mum can be so rewarding, but it can also be really, really challenging. We are the go-to person for everything family related, and it doesn’t end there. Trying to stay on top of it all can be exhausting, let alone sometimes really lonely too. So today I’m sharing my essential resources to ensure survival as an expat mum.

What makes a good coach?

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +1200

I get asked this question occasionally. And more recently when working with a client, it became necessary that I share a little more about my career story.

When I did, she found huge value and power in my story. Not because we have similar career backgrounds, but because she realised that I too have been there. I too have had to ‘give up’ a lot and make changes and sometimes just do something not because it was my ideal, but to serve my need to add value.

She found power in my story because I get it, I know the hurdles but I also know how to overcome them.

What is Coaching... Really?

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +1200

I’m not sure there is one answer to this question. I think the definition of coaching varies for different people. You only have to think of sporting teams and the role of the coach is unique often to the code of sport, and sometimes within a code it's unique to the team.

So today I’m answering this from my perspective, both as someone who has received great coaching, but also as someone who has impacted lives of other expat mums with coaching.

How To Instantly Improve Your Expat Life

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +1200

Let’s face it, life as an expat mum comes with a uniqueness that many of us take time to understand and adjust to.

Change is uncomfortable, and that's a good thing

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +1200

Have you tried to change something in your life before, and it hasn’t worked?

Personal change is hard. Frankly, if it was easy then we wouldn’t be talking about it.

You know how it goes. You start your week feeling highly motivated, this is the week that you will exercise regularly and eat well, no more sugary treats! By Wednesday you’re feeling too tired to work out and you’re sneaking a little piece of chocolate.

Let’s face it, it’s hard to change our habits. Our mindset and self talk often sabotages our ability to work on our goals. Life gets busy, and personal change feels like it requires energy and headspace that you simply don’t have.

Guess what? There’s still time. It’s not too late and today I’ve got some simple strategies for you.

Being Happy is NOT Enough

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +1200

I might get a lot of flack for this but... I truly believe that you can be happy, but still dissatisfied with your life.

It's Time To Change the Self Talk

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +1200

As busy mums, we get very reliant on our natural responses. We often don’t even think about what we are doing. Be it packing lunches, vacuuming, putting washing away. It all becomes second nature.

What’s scary is when the same thing happens with our self talk. We very quickly become reliant on our “normal” responses. We stop thinking about what we are saying to ourselves.

5 Signs You Can't Afford to Ignore

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 11:00:00 +1200

Have you ever had that niggling feeling that something isn’t quite right? That sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that all is not well in your world?

You keep pushing it aside. You keep focused on your family and their needs. You keep ignoring “that” feeling.

Well my friend, I’m here to share that you are not doing yourself any favours.

We want better things for ourselves and for our family. We want more for ourselves and for our family.

The 12 Days of Christmas

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 23:00:00 +1200

This Christmas is feeling a little different for me, and I don’t doubt that it is for you too. While we keep hearing it, it is true… 2020 has been crazy.

Christmas is normally a time for us to connect as a family, give thanks for all that we have and share gifts with those that we love.

And yes, in some regard we will still have the opportunity to do that. Our family (pending no further outbreaks) will be heading down to the South Island of New Zealand for Christmas this year. We will be staying with the in-laws for 3 weeks, and I’m sure it will be wonderful. My sister in law just had her second baby, a wee boy, so there will be a lot to celebrate.

But what I really want to be doing is flying to South Australia to see my parents this Christmas. As many of you know, dear old dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer as we went into lock down. We made the decision at the time that the risk was too great that I would get there, and then not be able to get back to New Zealand. And although there are now flights to Australia, our borders remain closed. As an Australian I can legally vote, work, buy property and live here, but I can’t get back into New Zealand without special permission. So I still can’t go and see mum and dad, thankfully his treatment is working and it would seem we have time. But...

I get the pull on the heart strings that so many of you are experiencing this year. I get the frustration you feel that you can’t be with loved ones, especially when they are sick. I totally understand how difficult this is for your kids to wrap their heads around. I get it.

So I wanted to share my 12 Tips for Christmas in 2020
