Step Into Your Next Chapter on your own terms
Even as I hit all the traditional business milestones, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t quite hitting my stride. My mind sparked with ideas, and I was always ready to take action, but finishing them? That was another story. The consistency I needed to turn my energy into real, meaningful progress felt like a skill designed for someone else entirely.
For years, I kept my doubts to myself, powering through with sheer determination. On paper, I was successful. In reality? I knew I was capable of more.
And the only explanation I could find for the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be? It had to be me.
I just wasn’t good enough.
(That’s what I told myself, anyway).
Success isn't always what it seems
I’ve been self-employed since 2003, after leaving the corporate world. From the outside, it looked like I’d cracked the success formula. I built a thriving small business marketing agency from my dining room table, leading a talented team serving clients across three states.
But under the surface? I was stuck in what I now call “Perpetual Potential.”
The Turning Point.
At 53, my ADHD diagnosis changed everything. Suddenly, the struggles I’d faced made sense:
The 101 ideas? My supercharged, divergent thinking brain at work.
The self-doubt? Years of trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for how I think.
The constant pivoting? My gift for seeing endless possibilities, waiting to be harnessed.
It was a revelation!
Since then, I’ve spent time understanding my differently wired brain and recalibrating both life and work to fit me, not the other way around. That shift changed everything.
Embracing self-leadership allowed me to stop chasing external validation and gradually anchor myself in internal authority. I rebuilt my self-worth, trusted my decisions, and reshaped my business to leverage and amplify my natural strengths.
What a difference. What a relief.
This experience has deepened my commitment to helping my clients build businesses that fit them, leveraging who they are, not who they think they should be, regardless of how their particular heart and brain work.

”I hired Angela to get an expert outside perspective on my business and help me to refine and streamline my offerings. She’s given me so much more than that! It’s been such a relief to have someone “in my corner” to bounce ideas off and to offer clear suggestions for improvement. Angela embodies what she promises, is truly generous with her time and resources, and does it all with warmth and energy".
Why I see you so clearly
As I learned more about my "Sparky Brain", I realised how many of the traits paralleled those of the women I support as they create their next chapters…
A whirlwind of ideas paired with a deeply empathetic heart.
A strong sense of purpose, even when the path to impact is unclear
A deep desire to do work that matters, not just work that looks impressive.
A desire for personal and professional growth, too often thwarted by overwhelm, self-doubt, and a struggle with consistency.
Maybe you’re working hard, but something still feels misaligned. Or perhaps you’re standing at a crossroads, ready to redefine what success means now.
We all need someone who can help us see new possibilities clearly and believe fiercely in our ability to create them, especially when we’re not sure we can.
How I can help
One of my greatest strengths, something clients often say is rare, is my ability to zoom out to see the big picture, and then zoom in to focus on the fine details.
Together, we’ll look at where you’ve been and co-create the steps to fit who you are now with where you’d like to head next.
That might include:
Crafting strategies that align with your values and amplify your strengths.
Refining your offerings, business model, or work structure
Building your self-trust and confidence so you can act with clarity
Developing discernment to help focus your energy and attention
As one client aptly put it, “Working together feels like releasing a handbrake I didn’t even realise was on.”

"I believe every female business owner who is neurodivergent needs you! You're the first coach I've ever felt real synergy with because you're a kindred spirit. I've invested so much in the past and have never moved or progressed as far as I have with you. You're worth every cent!"
Why this work matters
I believe your work should serve you as much as you serve others. It should energise, fulfil, and reward you, not deplete you.
Sometimes, you just need someone outside of yourself to help you step back, untangle all the pieces, see the potential that’s right there, and create an energising new picture.
If you're ready to quiet the self-doubt, lean into your strengths, and design your next chapter with clarity, I’d love to help.

A little more about me…
All of this, my experience, insight, education, and skinned knees, shapes how I work with you. When we partner, you’re not just getting a strategist or coach.
You’re gaining a collaborator who gets it.
You know you’re capable of more.
And if you need to, you can borrow my belief in you until you have it for yourself.
