“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
George Bernard Shaw
Our minds are incredibly powerful, but they still can’t tell the difference between reality and make-believe. Changing the stories you tell yourself will reset your beliefs, shift your actions, and bring you the results you truly desire and deserve. It’s never too late to write the story you want.
Can you Rewrite Your Life?
As a writer I know it’s never the first draft that makes the cut. It’s the work we do to write and rewrite that really counts. But can we take this powerful message into our own lives and change the story we’re living in?
Every great story has a pivotal moment, the point where everything changes. For many of us, that moment comes in mid-life. It’s when we’re forced to confront the gap between the life we imagined and the life we’re living. These plot twists might be triggered by a career shake-up, personal loss, or the painful realization that we’ve spent too long living for others rather than ourselves.
I know this turning point well. My own mid-life pivots were as challenging as they were transformative. A career I’d built with pride over 25 years suddenly felt misaligned. Health challenges demanded I adapt both expectations and habits. Personal tragedy upended every aspect of my life. But I learned that mid-life isn’t a crisis; it’s a chance to write the most exciting chapter yet. A belief I share in conversation with my newsletter readers every fortnight.
Reignite Your Quest
In every great story, the hero finds a mentor to guide them. Frodo had Gandalf. Luke Skywalker had Obi-Wan Kenobi. Sarah Connor became a guide for her son, John, preparing him to save the future from AI.
These mentors didn’t fight the battles for their protégés, but they provided something even more important: experience, clarity, and the belief that the hero already had everything they needed to succeed.
As a fiction author, I’ve always been fascinated by the role of the mentor in a protagonist’s journey. As an accredited resilience coach, I’ve come to believe that we are our own best mentor. And journaling is the quickest way to engage that powerful system of inner intuition and wisdom.
Whether you’re navigating a major career or life change, or simply looking for a renewed sense of purpose, coaching-informed journaling provides the space you need to quieten the outer world and listen deeply to yourself.

One Day or Day One?
It can be hard to find the time to take stock of your life. Good intentions are swiftly sabotaged. ‘One Day’ can become a sticking-plaster refrain in your life, not a pathway to change.
Instead, join me on Day One of the new year to invite in a different story.
For thirteen weeks I’ll email you a clear step in my Rewrite system to help you move from stuck to stratospheric.
At the end you’ll have:
Clarity over what that ‘One-Day’ you keep telling yourself really means to you.
Permission to fully face the life you have now with ALL the emotions and total support.
A single focus area that you’re committed to change.
Confidence in how to bridge what feels like an insurmountable gap.
A way to measure where you are in life, and where you want to be.
Don’t miss out on your chance to write the most extraordinary chapter yet.
I lead the Rewrite Email Reset just ONCE a year, beginning in January. It’s the heart of my best work as a coach and journal expert. I personally show up to walk the talk, demonstrating how I’m using this system alongside you to set up my year to work for me. Inspiring you to find your own inner Guru as you get rewriting too.

Coaching is a collaborative process designed to help you unlock your potential, clarify your goals, and take meaningful action toward achieving them. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing the past, coaching is future-focused, empowering you to move forward with confidence and purpose.
I work with Resilience Strategies, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Solution-Focused Coaching, Journal Coaching and Narrative Dialogue.
As a writer and journal coach, my coaching focuses on the power of writing. Through journaling and expressive writing, I invite you to connect with your own deep wisdom.

I focus on mid-life transformation. Because I have experienced so much myself in this period of life, I am deeply connected to the potential this part of our life’s journey holds for us. This might include career change, relationship realignment or release, personal purpose, or social mission. It might revolve around the changes that come with empty nesting, or the impact of menopause. It might involve weariness with the ‘out-of-date’ expectations that society or your loved ones demand of you. It might involve the pursuit of a long-cherished dream.
I am gender inclusive as a coach. No matter how you identify, if your story is a little stuck, I’d love to help you unpick the plot holes and move into a new chapter.
