KEYNOTES & CONVERSATIONS
Thoughtful, grounded conversations about neurodiversity, everyday wellbeing and working with not against our brains.
I speak from lived experience, a background in wellbeing and years of coaching neurodivergent adults and leaders.
My work sits at the intersection of neurodiversity, workplace culture and the realities of being human at work, without jargon or theories that only make sense on paper.
I’ve featured on podcasts, in articles and at events where conversations around work, identity and wellbeing genuinely matter.

I am super passionate about workplace wellbeing. That’s why I trained as a yoga instructor and also became a life coach.
Lack of confidence, stress and burnout have been a big influence in my life. I struggled a lot in school with learning and I took that baggage into the workplace.
But I’m a firm believer we learn the most from our biggest struggles in life, so I’ve got a lot to share on this topic.
I actively campaign for life balance, and challenge the narrative which distinguishes between work and life. To live in harmony with ourselves and our environment these entities need to be considered as one
I’m anti hustle culture, stop glamorising performative workaholism as a lifestyle, it’s toxic and can lead to burnout
I don’t think there is a place for the 24-hour ‘we should always be on and available’ creative agency attitude
I think leaders have a responsibility to set the tone and organisational culture
I believe we all have a personal responsibility to take care of ourselves, get to know and understand our own limits and where we need to set our professional and personal boundaries
They key areas I talk about are
1. Creating workplaces where all brains can thrive
2. Understanding + embracing neurodivergent strengths
3. What mentally healthy work + life looks like
