My Own Journey to Wellbeing

I used to think success meant pushing harder, working longer, and powering through. Like a lot of people, I put my wellbeing on the backburner — running on coffee, stress, and the occasional workout when I had time (spoiler: I rarely did, or inconsistently).

I was the queen of bad habits — late nights, too much wine, skipping meals, smoking to cope with stress, and telling myself sleep was optional. I looked like I kinda had it together on the outside… but inside, I was running on fumes.

Then the pandemic hit. Slowing down wasn’t a choice anymore — it was a wake-up call. I started making small changes, not because I had a grand plan, but because I honestly couldn’t keep going the way I was. And those small shifts? They changed EVERYTHING.

With a background in innovation and problem-solving, I realised I could apply the same tools — design thinking, behavioural science, creative experimentation — to my own life. Not to “fix” myself, but to actually feel stronger, more alive, and in charge of how I showed up.

That’s what led me to create Unwritten Coaching: a space where smart, capable humans can rewrite the rules, build habits that actually work in real life, and feel good doing it.
