My Story
I believe everything happens exactly as it should.
Every step we take, no matter how messy, hard, or unexpected, leads us to where we’re meant to be.
My story begins with a ream of yellow paper my dad brought home from the pub when I was a little girl. He’d often pick up odd things from locals, but that paper became my blank canvas. Before he passed away when I was 8, I’d spend hours creating; books, magazines, even shoes and bags out of paper. Creativity became my escape, my safe place, and my way to imagine a life beyond the one I knew.
Growing up in poverty, losing my dad so young, and becoming a young carer for my mum and siblings shaped me in ways I didn’t understand at the time. I didn’t know it then, but I was building resilience, grit, and the seeds of what I now call unstoppable self-belief; even if it took years before I could name it.
By my teens, I was sewing bags and scrunchies for my friends. In my twenties, I graduated from Brunel University, worked on the frontline with homeless families, and moved into management roles supporting adults with disabilities. I was driven by one thing: helping people rewrite their stories, no matter what they’d been through. I also launched my first business Violet & May, where I took a very scared step into self-employment, before going back into management.
When redundancy hit, I pivoted into teaching. I wanted to help young people believe in themselves sooner than I had learned to. I quickly became a workaholic and taking into account my previous career, was promoted to assistant headteacher within five years.
But the creative spark never left me, it had just lay dormant as I chased after what I felt I should do to keep me safe. After having my son Jackson, I launched Vivid Wire, my product-based business making bold, colourful wire art.
Leaving my career in education in 2020 to run Vivid Wire full-time was thrilling… and terrifying. The doubts were loud.
The guilt of leaving a secure career was heavy. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and exhausted. But the thing about unstoppable self-belief is; it isn’t about never doubting yourself. It’s about holding your nerve and backing yourself anyway.
Through the darkest moments, I began piecing together everything I’d learned from leadership, coaching, and my Master’s degree in trauma-informed education. I discovered my Warrior Energy; daily habits that fuel my mind and body. I built a formula for vision, strategy, and planning. I developed a money-making mindset, and I learned how to be consistent and focused, even when I didn’t feel like it.
That became my Warrior Boss Method, and at first, I was the only one using it. But I knew there were other business owners like me; warrior-spirited people with big dreams who’d survived challenges and wanted more.
So, I started coaching them.
Everything I do now, whether through 1:1 coaching, programmes or courses is about helping you transform from worrier to Warrior.
I’ll give you tools, strategies, and the mindset shifts to build unstoppable self-belief, take bold action, and design the business and life you dream of.
Because if I can do it, you can too.
You are magic.
You are made for this.
And it’s time the world saw it.
