Hello Gorgeous!

I’m super stoked you found me!

So, you’re curious about my back story…

I spent most of my corporate career getting high-level bods organised. At just 19, I was secretary to the head of marketing for a major UK multinational bank.

At 26, I got a transfer to London. How exciting the Big Smoke was through my small-town eyes, with its bad-boy image and fast living. And I set myself the ultimate challenge…if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere!

Eventually, working in banking became a bore and I started looking for my next challenge. So after years of speed-walking through Bank tube station, coffee in one hand and a copy of Ms London tucked under my arm (the supplement with the dreamy PA roles) I finally took the leap into legal at 31.

I shone in my new role at one of the City’s top international law firms. And it wasn’t long before I bagged one of those PA roles. It was such a buzz working in the fast-paced environment of the Banking & Finance team, at times, speeding ahead like an F1 driver to meet those deadlines. Even though the pressure was intense at times, and the hours long, I loved the team spirit and forged lifelong friendships.

But that fast pace soon caught up; as I suffered in silence with burnout and started looking for a way out. As luck would have it, an opportunity came up to work offshore. So bye-bye burnout and hello beach babe. I spent three years working for a prestigious law firm in the Cayman Islands!

Fast forward to 2016. The year went from bad to worse. Just a few weeks after being made redundant, the unimaginable happened…my father passed away unexpectedly. The shock of finding him was too much. Nothing made sense anymore. The girl I thought I knew was gone, lost in the pain. Life was spinning out of control and I couldn’t get a grip.

Sorrow put me on a journey of self-discovery even going to Guatemala to lose myself. Little did I know this awakening would forge a new career path and the start of an incredible journey. So what started as ‘I just need to get through today’, turned into ‘I need to do life better’. And down the self-care rabbit hole, I went.

Every day I did a little bit to feel better and cultivated practices to help calm down my wild mind and raging emotions; routines and rituals that have totally shaped my life. 

Such as getting my daily dose of the 3M’s. And when I need to make those big decisions, I turn to my 4-step C.A.R.E.™ framework. An uber-cool process that was born out of a deep desire to stop the self-sabotage and analysis paralysis that was driving me bonkers. Those huge needle-moving decisions gave me anxiety and got me procrastinating like a mofo! This way I could hold myself accountable. 

These practices transformed the hard male version of me into a softer Koser without losing any of my warrior spirit.  

I share my stories to show you what’s possible. Even when you’re at your lowest. You get to be what is possible, filling your life with “pinch me” moments. Where the reality is better than the dream and that is beyond exciting!

Take my Eat, Pray, Love moment in Ecuador, where I lived for a month volunteering with an NGO on their street kids project and where I got to meet my sponsor child.

And not forgetting the month I spent in the Himalayas, where I stood on the top of a mountain and watched the sunset over Mount Everest! 

As 2019 draws to an end, I could no longer ignore the signs…it was time to get out of the rut race. So after 29-ish years, I hung up my pencil skirt and stilettos. Even though it was scary letting go of my career identity, and redefining what work meant to me, my next career would have to fit my desire for a freedom-based lifestyle. Can you tell I’m officially obsessed with travel?!

So I took a work gap year (or two) and went on the search for the “laptop lifestyle”. I’ve been hustling since I was 16 and I just wanted a life less complex but my soul had other plans. After a few failed side hustles a realisation hit me like a ton of bricks…I needed to teach what I’d learnt along the way. But how? And true to form, the universe delivered the next step. I landed on a webinar on how to start an online coaching business. 

So, I reinvented myself as a high performance career and lifestyle coach. Unashamedly creating a space for women where you can normalise your fears, dreams and ambitions.

It was a steep learning curve starting a business. But when I look back this is what I was destined to do. It doesn’t feel like work and I absolutely love it! As a passionate high achiever, it’s my duty to help like-minded women — the dream makers, the action takers, the change makers live the lives they were destined for.  

My boutique coaching practice is an invitation to take your self-care deeper by cultivating high-vibe habits that get you out of survival mode and into a thriving life. By using the knowledge that I’ve built with the passion that I have, to unlock your potential so you can smash your inner glass ceiling and go for your goals.

I offer bespoke coaching packages designed with your unique needs, wants and desires in mind. Because you really are one-of-a-kind. It’s a lush experience where you feel seen, heard and supported. Expect personal touches throughout to celebrate your triumphs and keep you inspired.

Wait, I’m not done yet! I’m also a recovering perfectionist, ex-people pleaser, an accidental over-thinker, seeker of the unknown, adventure lover, globe trotter and fitness fanatic! See that? I’m not just one thing, and neither are you!

Now it’s your turn.

What’s your story? What do you secretly want to do that you’re too afraid to start? Write back and tell me your deepest desires.

Koser ❤
