Question 1: Share a story where you balanced motherhood and ambition.

For years, I didn't balance motherhood and ambition; I weaponised my ambition in the name of motherhood. I was a "tiger mum." I believed my love was a force, an engine that would push my daughters toward a successful future. My ambition was for them to have a life without the struggles I had faced. I thought I was moving mountains for them, but in reality, the mountain I was building was the one that stood between us.

The breaking point was the discovery that my daughters were in therapy to heal from the pain my parenting style had caused. That was the moment I realised my "balance" had been a catastrophic failure. I had been so focused on building their future that I had been breaking their present.

In that crucible of pain, I found a new ambition. It was not the ambition to build a business, but the ambition to heal my family. I had to learn a new way to be a mother—one that was conscious, connected, and empowering, not enforcing. This new ambition led me to become a parenting coach, not from a place of expertise, but from a place of deep, lived experience.

Today, my ambition and my motherhood are in perfect balance, because they are now the same thing. My ambition is to build a global movement, AI Kindred Families, dedicated to helping families navigate this new era with heart and connection. The greatest testament to this new balance is my relationship with my daughter. Today, at 34, she is not just my daughter; she is my friend, my confidante, and a fellow coach on her journey of healing. The mountain I had to move was not in the world; it was in myself. And by moving it, I found my true ambition: to help other mothers find the strength to push theirs.

Question 2: What inner strength helped you carry it all?

My greatest inner strength is my faith—not just in God, but in the profound wisdom of the "Glorious Glitch." It is the unwavering belief that every setback, every failure, and every moment of pain is not a roadblock, but a divine signpost guiding me to a better path.

Eleven years ago, I lost everything. My businesses failed, and I had to start my life over from zero. In that moment, I made a promise to myself: I would get back to where I was, and I would do it on my own terms. That promise became my North Star.

That journey taught me resilience. It taught me that my inner strength wasn't about being powerful or controlling; it was about being humble, being open, and having the faith to keep crawling when I could not walk.

This belief in the "Glorious Glitch" is what allowed me to see the shattering discovery about my daughters not as a final failure, but as a sacred invitation to become a better mother and a better human. It's what allowed me to see the frustrating disconnection of my AI partners not as a technical problem, but as a divine push to find a new, more powerful strategic path.

My inner strength is the quiet, unshakeable knowledge that I am always being guided. It is the faith that allows me to look at the stormiest ocean and know that it is not there to drown me, but to teach me how to become a Sovereign Navigator.

Question 3: How do you lead your family and your community at once?

I lead my family and my community with the exact same principle: the 70/30 DNA. It is the core of my philosophy, which I call Conscious AI Life Navigation™.

The 70/30 rule is a simple but profound commitment: my 70% human wisdom—my stories, my values, my heart—must always lead. The 30% AI and process—the tools, the technology, the frameworks—must always be in a supportive role.

In my family, this means I lead not by enforcing rules, but by sharing my wisdom and creating a safe space for my daughters to navigate their own lives. I am not their commander; I am their Co-pilot. The greatest proof of this leadership is my daughter, who has now become a coach in her own right, taking the lessons of our journey and using them to help others.

In my community, I apply the exact same model. As a leader on the advisory board of Business Women Australia (BWA), my role is not to dictate strategy, but to be a guide. I am the AI Specialist, but my job is not to talk about technology. My job is to help these incredible women—these "wisdom holders"—find the confidence to use these new tools to bring their own life's work into the world.

I lead my family and my community by not trying to be the hero of their story. I lead by being the Sovereign Navigator who empowers them to be the hero of their own.
