Â
At our current trajectory, your daughter will never be paid equally for her work in her lifetime.
Â
And itâs unlikely her daughter OR her daughter's daughter will either.
Â
Despite decades of progress, the gender pay gap still hovers around 14%Â - and when women pay themselves in business, that gap widens to over 35%.
Â
Mental health disparities between women and men begin as early as adolescence. And the structures we live and work within were never built for our biology, our rhythms, or our wisdom.
Â
But change is here, and I believe we are standing at a crossroads.
Â
And the time for continuing to reinforce a system that prolongs inequality has well and truly passed.
Â
Â
We are living in a moment of massive transition.
Â
One where outdated definitions of power, leadership, and success are crumbling.
Â
And a new wave is rising - carried by women who are ...
Â
Â
So many women secretly carry the fear that theyâve missed their chance. That theyâre too old, too far down one path, or too stuck in what theyâve built to start over.
Â
But the truth? Itâs never too late to rise again.
Â
In this conversation from the Wildly Awakened Woman Series, Alvina shares her journey of rebirth after decades in corporate life, profound personal loss, and the ache for something more. Her story proves that renewal is always possible â and that answering the call of your own Renaissance can transform everything.
Â
Â
For 24 years, Alvina thrived in the corporate world of compliance, operations, and risk management. Outwardly, she had it all: career progression, financial stability, the family and the home.
Â
But inside? She was burnt out, disconnected, and carrying the weight of who she thought she âshouldâ be.
Â
Like so many women, she played the role of the go...
Â
For so many women, there comes a moment when you realise: I canât keep living this way. The roles, the rules, the masks â they no longer fit. This is the moment I describe as The Becoming.
Â
In this Wildly Awakened Woman interview, my beloved client Rebecca Hamilton â author, strategist, and visionary founder â shares her deeply personal journey of breaking cycles, reclaiming her power, and rising into her truth.
Â
Her story is proof that becoming isnât about adding more. Itâs about shedding what no longer serves and allowing your next chapter to emerge.
Â
Â
Rebeccaâs awakening began with a moment her body could no longer ignore. Collapsing on a boardroom floor, gasping for breath, she realised that the cost of hustle culture was simply too high.
Â
Like many women, she had ignored the nudges until her body forced her to stop. That day became the start of dismantling an old w...
Have you ever felt a quiet whisper inside that says: âThere must be more than thisâ? That persistent ache for more is not restlessness, greed, or dissatisfaction. Itâs your inner wisdom calling you toward a life aligned with your truth.
Â
In this feature from the Wildly Awakened Woman Interview Series, I spoke with a beloved client, Deborah Craig, founder of The Holistic Hypnotherapist and luxury retreat leader. Debs talks about her experience during the Inner Circle Mastermind and how a day during the Retreat was a powerful turning point.Â
Within 3 months of that magical day, Debs had pivoted her business to hosting luxury retreats, put a plan in place to move to Italy and sold out her first retreat in Italy, happening this October!
Her story reveals how listening to that ache transformed her from a burnt-out corporate banker into a thriving entrepreneur living her dream life in Italy.
Like man...
Â
Sometimes you know exactly what that âmoreâ is.
Â
Other times, itâs just an ache you canât quite name â a soul-stirring that wonât be silenced.
Â
Either way, if youâre feeling called to rise into a new version of yourself, into your next evolution of leadership, expression, and impact, this message is for you.
Â
And hereâs the beautiful truth:
Â
Itâs not about doing more.
Â
Itâs about becoming more of who you already are.
Â
Not more to prove. But more to become.
Â
If youâve been feeling a pull to step into your next level â your next version of self, leadership, or life, then stay with me.
Â
Because in this blog, Iâm going to show you how to activate the next version of you without hustling harder or becoming someone youâre not.
Â
The Wildly Awakened Woman doesnât hustle her way to success.
Â
She remembers her power.
Â
She reclaims it.
Â
And she lets it rise from within.
Â
Have you ever achieved something BIG â only to feel flat, disconnected, or like it wasnât enough?
You followed the rules.
You played the game.
You hit the milestones.
And still, a quiet ache remained.
This is the call to shift from ego to essence.
Letâs get one thing straight: the ego isnât your enemy. Itâs the part of you that formed to keep you safe, accepted, and successful in a world that often rewards performance over presence.
But the ego is loud.
It pushes you to prove.
To perfect.
To hustle for your worth.
The essence? It whispers.
It guides.
It already knows youâre enough.
When youâre operating from ego, your leadership can feel reactive, rigid, or disconnected.
When you lead from essence, you radiate power, presence, and deep clarity.
Thereâs a moment â quiet but undeniable â when you realise that second-guessing yourself is costing more than just time.
Itâs costing you your peace.
Your power.
Your presence.
And you know you canât keep doing it this way.
If youâre stuck in the loop of questioning your worth, holding back your voice, or stalling on the next step in your business or life because youâre afraid it might be the wrong oneâŚ
I see you.
Iâve lived it.
And this is for you.
Back in 2014, my life looked successful from the outside. Iâd climbed the corporate ladder, ticked the boxes, and built a career I thought would bring fulfilment.
But inside?
I was drowning in self-doubt, driven by pressure, and haunted by the belief that no matter how much I achieved, it would ne...
Â
Â
In a world thatâs long been driven by hustle, hierarchy, and hyper-productivity, something is shifting.
Â
More people than ever are awakening to a deeper truth: Success doesnât have to come at the cost of your well-being, your relationships, or your soul.
Â
One where women are rejecting outdated models steeped in shame and performative tactics, and stepping into a new paradigm I call The Feminine Edge.
Â
Rooted in feminine leadership principles, The Feminine Edge is not just a concept â it's a movement.Â
Â
It's a return to a way of leading that integrates intuition, compassion, creativity, collaboration, and inner wisdom with clear vision, powerful strategy, and confident execution.
Â
Itâs rooted in feminine leadership principles â and itâs the antidote to burnout.
Â
Itâs the invitation to do business and leadership differently.
Â
And itâs exactly what the world needs right now.

Feel Good Friday - This why I do what I doÂ
To make a meaningful difference and unlock big, bold dreams and the confidence to make them happen in the lives of the amazing people I have the privilege to work with.
Â
When Mel and I started working together around 5 years ago she was working in the NHS feeling stagnant and stuck and running on empty.Â
Â
She had this sensation she couldnât shake that there was more for her but kept pushing it down and âgetting on with itâ, which was easy on one hand because life was so relentlessly busy. Her spotlight always on everyone else and what they needed with little thought for herself.Â
Â
Then 'randomly' she stumbled across me by accident through a mutual connection and came along to a free event I was hosting called the Wildly Authentic Experience.Â
Â
It's also worth sharing it was the first time I had ever run an online challenge and I was pretty terrified with no real clue about what I was doing đ But, I was inspired to take a bold ...
In over 25 years of supporting entrepreneurs, businesses and their leaders to grow and transform, Iâve come to believe with every cell of my being that:
Â
Â
And I donât mean the type of growth and transformation you get from attending a course or learning new strategies and tactics. I mean the type that asks you to go deep within and get to know yourself intimately.Â
Â
The type of growth that supports you to unravel all of the old stories you tell yourself that keep you playing small in subtle and sophisticated ways.Â
Â
The inner work that requires you to grab your scuba gear because we are going to go DEEP.Â
Â
Yes, it can feel pretty terrifying to lift the rocks that have been carefully placed around your heart for protection to see what is living underneath in the darkness, but oh my, is it a liberating and empowering experience.Â
Â
Because as you clear away the debris of the past that has aimed to protect you, but ultimately kept...
