Are you living the story you want to tell?

When I first started my business, this question was what drove me forward. It came from my own experience across so many areas of my life. I noticed that I just didn’t want to talk or go into detail about some really big parts of my life. I would brush things off and quickly move on to something else.

Take my job, for example. I worked in marketing for seven years, and every time someone asked me what I did or how work was going, I would give the shortest answer possible or try to change the subject.

Eventually, I started reflecting on why I had such a block when it came to talking about something that took up such a huge part of my life. What I realised was simple: it didn’t connect to the story I wanted to tell about myself.

It didn’t align with my values. It was one of my biggest sources of stress, it was sending me into burnout, and I wasn’t even earning enough to feel like it was worth it.

That lack of connection showed up in my body. I would feel words getting stuck in my throat because deep down, the story I was living, my story, wasn’t one I was proud of or excited to share.

And I just thought, life is too bloomin’ short not to be living a story you want to tell.

So I started making changes that felt more connected to me. Little shifts at first, then bigger ones. Eventually, that led me to start my own business. Now, through Next Chapter Thinking, I help women do the same: to pause, reflect, and begin shaping their next chapter, one they can truly feel proud to tell.

If any of this feels familiar, maybe it’s time to pause and ask yourself what story you’re telling right now, and whether it’s one you’re excited to share.

Because your next chapter doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It just has to feel true to you.

If you’re ready to start shaping a story that feels more connected, more you, and maybe even a little braver, I’d love to walk alongside you. If you would like to talk about your next chapter, click the button below.
