“That first call was like a weight lifted. I felt seen, understood, and like I wasn’t going mad and that change was possible for me”
“The cost of staying stuck is far greater than investing in yourself. Just start now."
Nic is an all round wonderful human; and an experienced legal professional and life coach, empowering single women.
Nic came to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed by comparison, and anxious about life transitions. She struggled with overthinking, self-doubt, and a persistent sense of “not being enough.” Social situations left her drained and disconnected, and she wasn’t listening to her own intuition.
Through coaching together, Nic experienced a profound transformation.
She developed tools to manage overthinking, built inner calm, and cultivated self-trust. She learned to show up authentically, embrace her personal power, and make empowered choices aligned with her values.
Her journey also inspired a major career shift - training as a coach herself to empower single women.
This Client spotlight, Nic shared her transformation and the lasting impact coaching can have on both personal and professional growth.
It has been a privilege to collaborate with Nic and I cannot wait to continue cheering her on within this exciting next chapter of her life.

Can you share a little about yourself and where you were before coaching??
The Cost of Comparison and Overthinking
I feel like I’m a completely different person now than what I was when I first came to coaching.
Before I met with you, I was struggling with comparison - falling into that comparison trap with friends, social situations, relationships, and even outfits. I wasn’t listening to my intuition.
I felt lost, anxious, and stuck, I was so overwhelmed - I didn't know what to do but I was fed up of feeling this way - I just needed some direction.
What was it like reaching out and having that first connection??
I’d never done coaching before, but when I had that first call with you Sarah, it was like a weight lifted. I felt such a release.
I was voicing things I worried about saying and there was no judgment at all from you, in-fact you had complete confidence that you could help me - I felt seen, understood and like I wasn’t going mad. It was a massive relief.
What drew you to work with me in particular?
I was drawn to your energy and like aura… your very calm and you’ve just got this way of allowing me to open up without judgment.
Honestly, you’re a queen of calm. Even in the additonal ongoing WhatsApp coaching, your responses were always so calm, considered and thorough and just so insightful.
You have this way of calming me down, helping me see things in different ways and see things clearer. Because of you and how you are, I was able to learn to trust my instincts on such big decisions with your support… that was massive for me.
How did you experience the coaching sessions and extra support?
The coaching sessions were incredible, and the WhatsApp support in between was amazing. I could unload all my wobbles and overthinking and the responses you gave were always considered, thoughtful, and so insightful.
It helped me see things in a different way, understand myself better, and approach challenges with clarity and confidence. Having this additional support was a game changer!
What tools or strategies were most impactful for you?
I leant so much! One tool that has really stuck with me is separating fact from opinion or thought. It’s so simple but so powerful. I still use it now with my own clients. It helps me ground myself and navigate situations without spiralling into overthinking.
How have you changed through this coaching work?
I’ve become a lot calmer. I don’t have the wobbles I used to and I navigate challenges quicker.
I trust my intuition more and am aligned with my path.
I feel more content, peaceful, confident, and capable - knowing I’m exactly where I need to be.
What’s changed in your life and career since coaching?
Life After Coaching: Confidence, Alignment, and Joy
I trained to become a coach and now empower single women, which is a big shift. I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this before!
I’m still working in my career, but I show up authentically, set boundaries, and focus on what fills my cup.
I’m more present in my life, relationships are easier, and I’m not overthinking or comparing myself anymore. I feel lighter and more connected.
How has coaching influenced your self-belief and confidence?
I genuinely feel that I am enough now.
I didn’t believe it at first, but now I truly feel it in my heart. That shift has given me confidence, calm, and self-trust.
I can make empowered decisions, trust my intuition, and embrace the life I want.
What advice would you give to someone considering coaching and working with me?
Just go for it. You don’t have to put up with negative thoughts, overthinking, or self-doubt.
There’s so much power in changing your mindset - you just have to take that leap and start. There’s no right time to start, just start now. The cost of staying stuck is far greater than the cost of investing in yourself. Just start now."
Is there anything else in your heart or on your mind that you want to share?
I'm just so grateful for all the work we did together.
So grateful to you Sarah, and also so grateful to myself for going for it, for trusting and for investing the time, the energy and the money into it, because it's the best investment I've ever, ever made! 🦋 🦋 🦋
