Few of us have the time, money or confidence to leave our jobs and start a consultancy. I know I didn’t. I did spend some time dreaming, drafting, aaaaand abandoning that cart.

The truth is, I AM a hustler. A doer who can’t sit still. Far too often I have fallen into the trap of hustle culture’s gurus shouting “this is the right way”.

I fled a life-in-crisis in 2020.

It sounds so dramatic, but it was the easiest thing to do in the world. See, when you're striving for a vision of your life, and all you end up grasping is relentless despair, it is easy to do the outrageous thing…

When I tell colleagues I’ve had my fifth child, I feel like I’ve been found out.

The mask is off, the secrets out. They know now I’m not your average jane… I’ve been exposed somehow.
