“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 suddenly felt misaligned. Covid and 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 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. Coaching works in much the same way. A good coach doesn’t impose answers, they help uncover those within. They provide structure, tools, and a safe space for exploration. They challenge assumptions and celebrate wins.

Whether you’re navigating a major career or life change, or simply looking for a renewed sense of purpose, coaching provides the mentorship to help you thrive.

One Day to Change Your Story

My combined experience in writing and life now partners with my training in Wellbeing and Resilience coaching to offer you the chance to unlock the power of journaling for yourself.

In just one day of 1:1 collaboration, you will cut through the confusion to quickly identify the journaling style that you need to transform your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and your wider community.

In just one day you will:

  • Identify YOUR Ideal Journal Form (there are 8)

  • Clarify your current Focus Area (there are 10)

  • Understand your current Mental State (10 again!)

  • Know your default Phase (there are 3) and integrate all three

At the end you’ll have:

  • Clarity and Focus

  • Mental Regulation and Resilience Strategies

  • Centred Self-ness and Value-led Purpose

  • An Action strategy guided by Reflection and empowered by Vision

Availability to these 1:1 workshops (and their online variation) is exclusively via my email list. Don’t miss out on your chance to write the most extraordinary chapter yet and join Rewrite Today. Inside, you’ll find my 3Questions Invite to the next step of your transformation journey.

 FAQs

  • 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. Both in session and out of session. But I combine this with coaching tools and exercises, including conversation, tailored to provide the best possible experience for the client.

  • My niche is in 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.

    While I hope to persuade more mid-lifers to embrace this extraordinary shift with courage and confidence, I also work with clients at any time of life who feel a powerful need for change. If it feels like your story is a little stuck, I’d love to help you unpick the plot holes and move into a new chapter.

  • One of the reasons I direct all my clients to meet me via my newsletter is so that you can begin to understand who I am and the work that inspires me. In Rewrite Today you will get to know me better. This is a personal ‘from the heart’ newsletter devoted to the power of transformation. I write it myself, every damn time. It’s inspired by the incredible people I meet and my own ever-expanding story.

    Inside Rewrite Today is your first step into this incredible world of coaching. You’ll find my 3 Questions Invite in every newsletter so it’s there when you feel absolutely ready. This will give you 3 of the most impactful Questions I have used in coaching, and invite you to email me directly with your answers. I will personally answer your email with my insights into your own story, and an exercise for you to go deeper. If this resonates with you, then we can identify the best way for us to work together, based on your current needs.

  • While my focus is on the power of writing and journaling to give us new perspective, empower our greatest stories, and support emotional wellbeing and resilience, I don’t work ‘just with journaling’. If the idea of writing a new chapter appeals to you but you’re thinking ‘I’m no good at writing’, then please get in touch with me. I work in a way that is Neurodivergent friendly, including multiple versions of journaling that are ‘beyond words’.

    And if you’re interested in coaching but an introvert that hates the idea of talking to a stranger, then know that I created Rewrite with you in mind. Journaling allows you private, quiet space in our sessions. And I am proud to create a space that honours and uplifts introverts in a world that all too often feels like it’s shouting.
