After 8 amazing years at Google, across Sydney and London, it's time for a new challenge. The best thing about working at Google has without a doubt been the people - and I am leaving with many lifelong friends. Together we constantly pushed the boundaries of showing up innovatively for clients, presented at ground-breaking client events, published first-to-market research, interviewed industry experts on stage, and partnered with the largest advertisers in the world to help them grow - all while having so much fun along the way. Thank you to everyone who made showing up to work such a joy, and I'm so happy I'll get to keep you all in my life regardless!
As my Google chapter comes to an end, I am pivoting to (and have absolutely loved) starting my own business, The Hidden Trimester, which supports women struggling with the emotional toll of their fertility journey - something which I am passionate about from personal experience. Currently offering private coaching, it will soon expand to also provide tailored consulting services to help businesses develop supportive policies for employees facing fertility challenges. And will also provide career coaching packages for new mums in the future. Far too often, women feel pressured to set aside their career aspirations due to societal or personal expectations around motherhood, and this is impacting their careers more than it should be.
But right now, I am getting so much fulfilment from helping women in 'the hidden trimester'. For many women this is actually the longest and most challenging trimesters on the road to becoming a mum. And despite its significance in our lives, it remains largely hidden from those around us, making it the loneliest trimester too.
The ultimate goal of coaching at The Hidden Trimester is to help women with the ongoing adversity and lack of control on this journey, as well as to help protect the most important relationships in their lives which are often heavily impacted as result. And while a key part of the program involves validating their feelings and providing important connection, it also focuses on empowering women with the tools to think about their journey differently, strengthen their mindset, sense of control and relationships, and to still thrive in all the other parts of their lives that are important to them, and which often take a backseat during this experience. There's nothing I love more than meeting someone new I can help in this area, so please reach out if you think you or someone in your life may benefit from a little extra support right now. Coaching programs available virtually and internationally.
