As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been colourful, loud, and a worrier, concerned with making the world a brighter place.

Growing up, I wore Doc Martins way before they were cool which led to an ‘interesting’ school experience, and I’ve always felt like a bit of a misfit, a bit of an outsider, wondering where my people were.

Combine that with being a Type A overachieving creative and you’ve found the recipe for perfectionism, people-pleasing and self-doubt.

(Cue many years of creative blocks and trying not to crumble under the self-imposed pressure.)

As I started to pave my way into the world, I found my home in the world of feminist activism and spent the next decade working in non profits. That is, until I burned out - hard - and had to come face to face with the fact that my inner dreamshitter had been running the show. And it was time to try something new.

I knew something was missing and there had to be more to life. I wasn’t following the beat of my drum. Hell, I’d forgotten I had a drum. And I’d given other people the drumsticks. And lost all my enthusiasm.

My dreams of travelling, of writing a novel, of putting myself out there certainly weren’t happening. I knew something had to change. After a serious period of intense depression and anxiety and a couple of very toxic working environments, I decided enough was enough.

It was while on sick leave, I stumbled into the world of being a multi-passionate, of lifestyle design, of a whole world of creative women doing creative things on their own terms and I started to explore whether I could do the same.

I spent a lot of time working on myself, figuring out what I wanted and finding a way of doing life that left me inspired rather than burnt out, hopeful instead of hopeless and fulfilled instead of empty. It was at the time I started The Rebel Rousers, in the hopes of helping other women find the same.

The next couple of years were spent leaving toxic work environments, accidentally becoming a graphic designer and starting to work for myself, doing a 3 month road trip across the US via buses (yep), and starting to explore who I could be when I wasn’t being bossed around by my inner dreamshitter.

Since 2016, I’ve been coaching the most eclectic and fabulous mix of creative women, helping them to build a wholehearted life they love and do the things only they can do. I get to use all my strategic skills in a way that lights me up and brings the world a brighter place and I can honestly say I fucking love the work I do.

Right now, I now live in Liverpool with Mr Meg and our ridiculous cockapoo Merlin. I spend my days working with wonderful creative women, recording episodes of Couragemakers and The Daily Pep!, making all manners of bright encouraging shit and embracing all the pieces of me instead of running away from them.
