Why did you first step into mentorship or coaching?

I stepped into mentorship because I know what it feels like to start from nothing, and to keep going anyway.

When I arrived in Australia as a newly single mum with three young daughters, I had no money, no family, and no support network. I was overwhelmed, isolated, and building a business from the ground up while trying to hold my household together. What I needed most at that time wasn’t just business advice, I needed someone who could walk beside me, believe in me, and show me what was possible.

That experience shaped everything. Once I found my feet, I made a promise to myself: I would become that person for others.

That’s why I stepped into mentorship. Not just to share strategies, but to create space, safe, supportive space where women could find clarity, build confidence, and take empowered action without fear of judgement or burnout. I wanted to give others what I never had: real guidance, heart-led leadership, and a belief in their potential.

Today, I mentor through that same lens of compassion and courage. Like the nurturing environment at Yeah The Girls 40+, I believe mentorship isn’t about telling others what to do, it’s about helping them remember who they are, rise in their own timing, and step into their own power.

That’s where transformation begins, and that’s why I’m here.

What philosophy or values guide how you mentor others?

I mentor with a deep commitment to respect, zero judgment, and mutual empowerment, the same values that make Yeah The Girls 40+ such a powerful community.

For me, mentoring isn’t about authority, it’s about shared growth. I believe in creating a space where women feel seen, heard, and safe to be their full selves. A space where it's okay to not have all the answers, to be vulnerable, and to grow at their own pace, without comparison or pressure.

My approach is a blend of clear strategy and empathetic support. I help women simplify the complicated, structure the chaos, and move forward with clarity. But I also listen deeply. Because often, what we need most is not more information, but someone who understands our challenges and gently shows us what’s possible.

I mentor from the belief that transformation happens when we honour both the mindset and the method. So I guide with frameworks, language, systems, and strategies, but always rooted in kindness and trust. I help my mentees reframe failure as feedback and see obstacles as invitations to grow.

Ultimately, my philosophy is this: when we create safety, we create power. And when women feel truly supported, they don’t just learn; they lead. Together, we rise.

Tell us about a mentee/client transformation you're proud of.

One of the client journeys I’m most proud of is Emily, a determined and talented business owner who came to me completely burnt out. She was juggling a growing business, raising her children solo, and trying to do everything herself without systems, support, or space to breathe. She felt like she was failing on all fronts.

Together, we simplified her business model, structured her marketing, and implemented systems that gave her clarity and control. But more importantly, we worked on her mindset, helping her shift from survival to leadership. Within six months, she had tripled her revenue, hired her first VA, and reclaimed her weekends. She told me, “I finally feel seen, supported, and like I can actually do this.”

Today, Emily leads a small team and mentors other women, creating the kind of ripple effect I mentor for. Her transformation is a powerful reminder that when women are supported with the right tools, structure, and belief, they don’t just succeed; they rise and bring others with them. That’s what mentorship means to me, and it’s exactly the kind of empowered leadership celebrated within the Yeah The Girls 40+ movement.
