Before you became the business titan you are today, enlighten us about the thrilling adventures of your pre-business life.
Before becoming the business titan I am today, I spent eight years as a teacher. During this period, I struggled significantly with my mental health, battling anxiety and panic attacks. Despite participating in CBT and therapy, the anxiety persisted. Feeling lost and desperate for change, I began focusing on myself. I started journaling gratitude and affirmations, listening to health podcasts and eventually completed a holistic lifestyle coaching course. This journey transformed my life and mindset. I no longer engage in negative self-talk, my anxiety is minimal, if any and it’s been years since my last panic attack. Embracing healthy daily habits has been life-changing, which is why I am so incredibly passionate about helping other women feel like themselves again.
Could you elaborate on the nature of your initiative/ business/current role, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?
My initiative as a holistic lifestyle coach is dedicated to supporting busy women in overcoming unhealthy habits, negative self-talk and stress so they can achieve a healthy lifestyle, body confidence and a positive mindset. Through personalised 1:2:1 coaching, I help clients break free from negative cycles and master sustainable, healthy habits that transform their lives. My coaching focuses on understanding the root cause of their unhealthy habits or negative self-talk and integrating positivity and wellness into their daily routines, ensuring they achieve their health and personal goals. This approach not only enhances their physical health but also boosts their confidence, self-love and overall well-being, allowing them to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

As a young woman entrepreneur, what changes do you hope to see in the world and what opportunities are you seeking?
As a young woman entrepreneur, I hope to see a world where there are more opportunities for young people to start and build their own businesses. It’s essential to create an environment that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship by providing accessible resources, mentorship and funding. I am seeking opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, gain more knowledge through continuous learning and collaborate on projects that make a positive impact. By advocating for these changes, I aim to inspire and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and contribute to a thriving, inclusive economy.
Women now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top. What are your thoughts on women’s leadership today?
Amazing! I love that there are more women leaders today. It’s fantastic to see a mix of age, gender and diversity in the workplace. Each individual brings something unique and valuable, enriching the work environment. Women’s leadership is essential for creating balance and I’m excited to see this positive trend continue.
