A Year of Transformation, Purpose & Gratitude: My 2025 Reflections 🎄
As we approach the end of 2025, I’ve been reflecting on what has been one of the most fulfilling years of my 25-year journey in recruitment, matchmaking, and coaching. This year has powerfully reaffirmed a simple truth: everyone, at their core, is searching for purpose, balance, and fulfilment.
It has been my profound privilege to walk alongside so many incredible people this year as they embarked on their journeys of transformation. Their courage continues to inspire me daily.
This year, I had the honour of helping people who:
- Felt stuck in roles that dimmed their light, guiding them towards careers that not only utilise their talents but also nourish their mental health and well-being.
- Sought a better harmony between their professional ambitions and personal lives, redesigning their paths to create space for what truly matters.
- Wanted to redefine their purpose, moving from a sense of “just doing a job” to building a meaningful career that aligns with their deepest values.
The work extended beyond individuals. As a trustee, I collaborated with a board to diagnose cultural challenges and co-create a roadmap for a healthier, more positive organisational environment. I’ve also partnered with several businesses, providing the strategic clarity and direction needed to turn their ambitious goals into actionable plans.
A Spotlight on Courage I worked with an incredible woman this year who felt uncertain about her next steps. In just nine months, her transformation has been nothing short of remarkable, achieving so much both personally and professionally. Her journey is a powerful testament to what is possible with clarity, support, and unwavering determination.
A Personal Note of Gratitude None of my work happens in a vacuum, and this year my heart is full of gratitude for the people who fill my life with love and support.
I am endlessly thankful for my daughter, who has flourished in her confidence while studying at Bath. It has been a joy to watch her come out of her shell, grow into her own, and blossom into the self-aware, amazing woman she is becoming.
I am so proud of my son, for his thoughtful, caring nature and the wonderful, happy young man he is, all while excelling in his A-levels.
And on a truly special note, I was proposed to this year—a beautiful confirmation of being loved and cherished, and for that I am profoundly grateful.
To my friends and family: thank you for your constant support and for always being there. It has, without a doubt, been a really special year.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As a coach, my greatest hope is to see people thrive. So, from my heart to yours, I want to wish you a wonderful Christmas filled with warmth and connection.
And here’s to a 2026 that is positive, prosperous, and deeply exciting. May it be a year where you feel empowered to pursue your dreams, find clarity in your direction, and take bold steps towards the life you truly desire. I am rooting for every single one of them to come true for you.
