Helping high-functioning women in leadership and business to step off the burnout treadmill and reclaim a life that feels calm, confident, and completely their own.

19/08/2026

There comes a point where the life you want asks something different of you.

Not more proving. Not more pushing. Not another year spent trying to become confident enough before you finally move.

It asks you to walk away from the fear that has been making your decisions for you.

Because the next version of you isn’t necessarily more talented, more qualified or more deserving than the woman you are today. She simply trusts herself enough to take up the space her life is asking her to occupy.

And perhaps that is what growth really is.

Not becoming someone entirely new, but returning to yourself with a greater capacity to hold the visibility, opportunity, leadership, love and success that once felt too big.

Sometimes, you have to walk away from who fear taught you to be, to discover just how much you were always capable of holding.

Last night, Tahlia Thorpe popped in with this beautiful gift to mark what is almost the end of her first season with the Bendigo Pioneers.

And what a year of growth it has been.

Stepping into a higher level of competition alongside more experienced players, Tahlia has had to find her space, trust her ability and begin finding her voice, all while continuing to show up for and support her local club, Eaglehawk.

When Tahlia’s family and I first spoke about sponsorship, they were incredibly thoughtful about whether they should accept it. The Pioneers experience is a little different. Selection happens week by week. There are no guarantees. Some weeks Tahlia would be selected to play, and other weeks she wouldn’t.

But for me, the sponsorship was never dependent on whether her name appeared on that week’s team sheet.

It was about something bigger.

It was about sending a message that there are businesses in our community willing to put their hard-earned money behind young women in sport. That we understand there are costs involved in chasing an opportunity like this — travel, accommodation, equipment and the many practical things that sit quietly behind a young athlete being able to say yes when an opportunity comes.

And perhaps most importantly, it was about saying to the young women coming through behind her: we want you here.

We want young girls hungry to chase the ball. We want them testing themselves against stronger players, travelling to compete, learning how to handle the weeks they are chosen and developing the resilience to return again after the weeks they are not.

Because growth doesn’t only happen when your name gets called.

Sometimes it happens in the training, the waiting, the disappointment, the courage to return, and the decision to keep backing yourself anyway.

Congratulations, Tahlia, on your first season with the Bendigo Pioneers. I have been incredibly proud to sponsor you and to watch what this experience has asked you to grow into.

Keep chasing that ball. There is plenty more ahead. ❤️

I am so proud of how far I’ve come.

The awards night is now under 24 hours away and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit the nerves are starting to build.

No matter what way the cookie crumbles, I have been genuinely delighted to be a finalist and getting to meet and chat with many different business owners.

I look forward to tonight sitting in the quiet reflection on where the business has landed and give myself a pat on the back. I haven’t done it on my own - prior team members, my clients, the soulie community and my precious family and dearest friends.

How wonderful this ride has been.

Cross your fingers and toes for me and let’s dance the night away. X

When did holding a business get so heavy?

You’re functioning - well, sort of.
You’re getting things done - it’s never fully done though.
You’re showing up - some days I’d rather not.

Many women share with me the dread of this constant hum of everything that’s unfinished, every decision they have been avoiding and every conversation they have rehearsing in your head over and over but hasn’t come out yet.

You can be sitting at dinner with your family and suddenly remember the thing you still haven’t dealt with.

You wake at 3am thinking about decision you know you need to make - but just can’t/won’t do it.

You walk around the business watching the team member you know isn’t right - You tell yourself you’ll make the change next month. It’s been 6 months and they are still there.

You say yes to another thing, even though you’re already stretched.

And slowly, something shifts.

The passion that once fuelled your business starts to feel more like pressure.

Your ambition hasn’t disappeared - it’s drowning.

But somewhere along the way, fear has started making more of the decisions - than your ambition - have.

And you find yourself wondering…

“When did it become this hard?”

I’ve been there.

And some of the biggest growth in my own business has come from the moments when I stopped swallowing the words, avoiding the decisions and overriding what I already knew.

The seven shifts in this carousel are not theoretical.

They’re the decisions that have propelled my business - and the businesses of the women - I work with forward.

Because sometimes the next level isn’t another strategy.

It’s the moment you trust yourself enough to act.

This is where Confidence Reclaimed begins.

Not with blowing your world up - we go gently.

We build you up to become more self-assured and poised to face what you already know.

🤍

Have you ever walked away from a meeting and thought,

“Something does not feel right about this.”

Only to realise weeks later that your first instinct was right all along?

Whether it’s a decision you felt you needed to make, an employee that just ain’t quite right, a new client that seems like hard work, an idea you’ve been pitched that feels convincing but still something is off.

These are your first signs of a leadership opportunity - but low confidence will make us override it, stay committed to something we know in our bones isn’t right - but we’d rather stay quiet than upset the apple cart.

I’ve learnt that leadership isn’t just about intelligence, strategy or experience.

Those things absolutely matter - there comes a point where your greatest asset is your ability to trust your own judgement, and have the confidence to follow through on it.

Not every decision comes with enough data.

Not every conversation has a clear answer.

Not every opportunity looks perfect on paper.

Sometimes leadership asks us to pause, notice what’s in front of us, and trust the wisdom we’ve built through years of experience.

For me, that’s intuition.

Not guesswork.

Not emotion.

But the quiet confidence to notice what others overlook and to back yourself when it matters most.

The leaders I admire don’t just build successful teams.

They build trust in themselves.

And that’s where better decisions begin.

❔Have you ever looked back and realised your intuition was trying to warn you?

In Confidence Reclaimed I mentor you to build your intuition power, trust yourself and back yourself boldly when the pressure is high and the responsibility is overwhelming.
