Your domestic experience is not a gap. It is a high-stakes, data-rich environment that has been chronically under-reported on your resume. I am here to change that. After a decade in HR, I stopped looking for ladders and started building a jungle gym. What I found along the way — through my own career breaks, pivots, and a fair amount of caregiving in between — was that the skills women use to navigate real life are the exact same skills that drive corporate strategy. Resource allocation. Crisis management. Decision-making under ambiguity. Logistics with zero margin for error and no one keeping score. The work was always there. The translation was not. That is where I come in. ____________________________________________________________________________ I work as a Career Workout Specialist — which means I do not give career advice. I give women structured workouts: evidence-based exercises that help them see what they have actually been building, name it in language the world understands, and move forward with it on purpose. The system has three phases: The Audit — We surface the invisible skills embedded in your real-life experience and turn them into measurable professional proof. The Translation — We replace vague, apologetic language with a narrative that makes recruiters and collaborators look twice. The Blueprint — We build a data-backed strategy for your next move, whether that is a corporate comeback, a career pivot, or something you have not named yet. I also happen to be a Data Humorist — because the data I collect from the women I work with tells a story that is equal parts eye-opening and absurd, and the least I can do is make it digestible. ____________________________________________________________________________ I work with women in their mid 30s and 40s who are done minimising what they have done and ready to own what they know.

Let's make it count out loud.
