From Wall Street to Life Coach:

My Journey on the AJ Bell Money Matters Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of joining Danni Hewson and Laura Suter on the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast to share my journey; from working in high finance on Wall Street to becoming a writer, and ultimately a Jungian life coach.

Wall Street, kidnap survivor & best-selling author: How I became a life coach

Reflecting on my Journey

In the conversation, I talk about how I started out in investment banking, initially to support my goal of writing novels, and how that decision shaped the course of my life. After publishing my first bestseller, life threw me a few unexpected challenges.

I share my experience of surviving a kidnapping and later, breast cancer – two events that changed me deeply and helped me redefine my purpose. These experiences ultimately led me to train as a life coach, a role that allows me to help others navigate uncertainty, reconnect with their values, and build resilience.

In This Episode

Some of the themes we discuss include:

Why I left the world of banking for writing and later, coaching
What surviving trauma taught me about clarity, courage, and choice
My approach to helping others through change and challenge
The importance of financial awareness and how to spot scams in today’s social media-driven world

Why This Matters

This isn’t just a story about overcoming difficulty. It’s about finding alignment, purpose, and a new way of living. If you’re at a crossroads, navigating change, or simply curious about the mindset work I now do with clients, I hope you find something useful in the episode.

I also offer coaching sessions, so get in touch if you’d like to book a free Discovery Call to work out how we can work together to master your money – and more!
