The Leap To Lead

03/08/2026

Someone who loves you asks "what do you need?"

And you have nothing.

Not because you are fine. Because you have been in management mode for so long that you have genuinely lost track.

This week's video is about that. About what happens when capable women cannot answer the question, why the people closest to us stop asking, and what support actually looks like when it does not arrive the way we imagined it would.

A full belly laugh. The kind where you can't catch your breath and you're almost wetting yourself.

Life has been fairly full on for most of this year. One thing after another. Focused, doing, getting on with it.

Then Minty happened.

I was back in South Australia, and she was doing her late afternoon zoomies around the lawn. Full throttle, grabbing her ball, trying to throw it at my feet. I couldn't help myself and joined in.

She wasn't looking. She ran straight into my legs.

With all the tension I had been carrying, I completely lost it. There we were, a grown woman and her little black dog, rolling on the lawn. The release was significant.

I had forgotten what that felt like.

When did you last laugh like that? Really laugh. Not a polite chuckle, but the kind that catches you off guard and takes something with it when it leaves.

I hope you find a moment today. x

Something I keep hearing from women who come to work with me. They have a business that is running. Clients, income, delivery. It is working.

But there is something they keep almost offering. A version of their work that sits just behind what they put out publicly. Something closer to their real depth that they have not yet given themselves permission to name.

I am curious. Is there something like that for you? A version of your business you have not quite launched yet?

You do not have to share specifics. But I would love to know if this resonates.

She was describing the method.

Not the transformation.

One word change. Everything shifted.

The first business you build in midlife is almost never the right one. Not because you lack experience.

Because you build it from what feels safe to offer. Not from what you are actually best at.
You choose the offer that feels defensible. The one people might actually pay for. The one that will not expose you if it does not work.

And it does work. Mostly. But something feels off. That feeling is not failure. It is information.

Today's video is about what that feeling is telling you, and what it looks like to rebuild from the right foundation.

I used to describe it as banging my head against a brick wall.

I was pushing, working harder, trying to grow Expat Parenting Abroad. But none of it was landing. And somewhere underneath all that effort was a quiet knowing I kept trying to ignore: something wasn't right.

It took some deep conversations to figure out what. With my dad. With Hubby. And with my own coach, Amel.

The question that changed everything was this, are you prepared to let Expat Parenting Abroad go?

I sat with it. And I realised I was.

Not because it wasn't real. It was. But it no longer fitted the woman I was becoming. And my dad had been trying to tell me that for a while. Do more, Em. You can do so much more.

So I stopped pushing in the wrong direction and started leaning into the work I was actually being called to do. The shift to The Leap To Lead was not a rebrand. It was a redefinition. Of the business, yes. But more than that, of me.

I share this today because I know I am not the only one who has sat with that feeling.

If something feels off for you right now, if you are up against your own version of the brick wall, I see you.

Tomorrow I want to talk about what that feeling is actually telling you.

If this week's video resonated, and something in you is saying I am ready to look at what comes next, I want you to book a conversation with me.

Not a sales call. A real conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and what is actually in the way.

No obligation. Just clarity.

I asked myself a question during my workout this morning that I want to bring to you.

What are you less interested in proving now?

Not what you have achieved. Not where you are headed. Just what you no longer need to prove. To the room. To your family. To the version of yourself that used to measure everything.

For me the list has grown considerably in the last year. And every item I have crossed off has made space for something that actually matters.

I would love to know your answer. Drop it in the comments below.
