I changed my Path, so why can't you?

I Changed My Life — So Why Can’t You?

as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by people.

Why do we take such different paths in life — even when we grow up in the same home, with the same parents, the same opportunities?

I’m one of four siblings, with a nine-year age gap between the eldest and youngest. I’m number two. From early on, it was clear we were all wired differently. We saw the world differently. We reacted differently. And ultimately, we built very different lives.

That curiosity stayed with me.

Always busy. Never fulfilled.

For most of my adult life, I was caught in the hustle.

I chased goals. I pushed for the next promotion. I worked harder, trained harder, aimed higher — both in my sales career and in sport. On paper, things looked good. But inside, I always felt like I was falling short of my potential.

No matter what I achieved, it never quite felt like enough.

Over 25 years in sales, working with hundreds of clients, colleagues, and teams, I saw this pattern everywhere. People with ability. People with ambition. People who should be thriving — yet feeling stuck, frustrated, or quietly burnt out.

As a leader, I learned something important:You don’t get the best out of people by pushing harder.You get the best out of them by understanding how they think, what drives them, and what’s holding them back.

At the time, I didn’t realise I needed that understanding myself.

When life hits hard

In 2018, I lost my dad.

Not long after, my marriage ended in divorce.

Those experiences shook me far more than I expected. The grief, the stress, the emotional weight — it spilled into every area of my life, including my work. My confidence dropped. My motivation disappeared. I felt stuck, flat, and directionless.

I wasn’t failing — but I definitely wasn’t living.

And deep down, I knew something had to change.

The turning point

That’s when I turned to life coaching.

Through the process, I started to uncover the limiting beliefs and mental patterns that had been running my life for years without me realising. The stories I’d been telling myself. The expectations I’d been carrying. The fear of slowing down long enough to ask what I actually wanted.

Coaching helped me realign.

Not overnight. Not magically. But clearly and intentionally.

The impact was so powerful that in 2023 I became a certified coach (ACCPH) — not because I wanted a new title, but because I wanted to help others avoid spending years feeling the way I had.

Stuck. Burnt out. Capable — but unfulfilled.

What’s possible when mindset changes

With a renewed mindset, I began to push myself in ways I never thought possible.

I’ve completed Ironman races. I’ve run marathons. I’ve swum the English Channel for charity.

And this year, I’m attempting to swim the full length of Windermere — 11 miles, blindfolded.

Not because I’m special.But because once you remove mental limits, your idea of “possible” changes completely.

Who I work with

Today, I work with:

✔️ Individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step

✔️ Business owners who want to grow but feel their mindset, clarity, or strategy is holding them back

Using proven coaching frameworks, I help people:

• Understand where they truly are

• Get clear on what they actually want

• Remove the mental blocks standing in the way

• Build a realistic plan to move forward with confidence

If I changed my life — why can’t you?

Most people aren’t lacking talent or potential.They’re lacking clarity, perspective, and belief.

When you’re in the middle of life — or business — it’s almost impossible to see the opportunities around you. That’s where coaching comes in.

Your mindset is the foundation of everything you build.

And if you’re ready to realign, reset, and create a life that feels purposeful again — the first step is deciding that change is possible.

If I did it, so can you.
