Thirteen years ago, my life was thrust into a whirlwind of uncertainty as I became my father’s caregiver. Balancing my role as a full-time solicitor and law firm partner with caregiving responsibilities led me to the brink of burnout. I made a courageous decision to leave my career and dedicate myself to my father’s care, a choice many deemed career suicide. Yet, it was in this crucible of exhaustion and grief that I discovered my true strength.
After my father’s passing, I faced an identity crisis, feeling like a nobody without my roles as a lawyer, daughter, and caregiver. But it was through this profound loss that I began to rebuild my life, piece by piece. I returned to the legal field, proving the doubters wrong, and embarked on a journey of self-discovery through running, eventually completing the London Marathon, and a few more marathons after that.
My exploration into coaching was born from the depths of grief, as I chronicled my journey in real-time through blogs that now form the backbone of my book, “My Dad and Me: A Journey of Love, Loss, and Life.” Each milestone, from my father’s birthday to my first Christmas without him, became a chapter in my story of resilience.
Today, I stand as a published author, newspaper columnist, resilience coach, and advocate for professional women navigating life’s challenges.
My mission is to guide others in transforming adversity into opportunities for growth, balance, and vitality. I believe that when we break, we learn to stand up again with greater strength, clarity, and purpose.
