My Story

I’m a grandmother of six, and I’ve rebuilt my life from scratch—more than once. After an unamicable divorce, I found myself in financial ruin, in a new country, with two daughters depending on me. There was no safety net. No backup plan. Just me, my determination, and a whole lot of fear I didn’t have time to entertain.

So, I reinvented myself. I traded my way out of poverty. I created a new life in a new culture (Africa to Aotearoa). I healed my own aches and pains. I lived minimally and eco-friendly. I grew into honouring my multicultural roots. And somewhere along the way, I became assertive, learned to set boundaries, and discovered the power of adjusting my attitude instead of waiting for life to adjust it.

Professionally, I bring lived experience and over 35 years of consulting—family court self-litigants, small business owners, top government officials, and semi-state enterprise executives. I’ve written seven books; including a children’s book. I’m currently completing my doctorate in sustainable wellbeing.

I now work as a Wellbeing Business Coach helping mature women create wellbeing in mind, body, love, money, community, and planet. I'm also a Keynote Speaker with the Signature Speech—Together We Thrive: Sustainable Wellbeing is achieved through the ethic of Care. I know what it feels like to start again. I know what it takes to rise. And I know how powerful a woman becomes when she finally rises into equal place.
