When I set up my communication and confidence coaching business at the age of 60, I hit a wall of self-doubt and identity discombobulation!

My past experience as an actor had ill prepared me for the world of LinkedIn and networking breakfasts!

I felt myself suriving rather than triving - and I wasn't OK with that!

I did a deep delve into 'impostor syndrome' and it made sense - but there was something else going on.

I coined a new term - 'self-squashing'.

I commenced my unsquashing mission!

Now I was a communication and confidence coach who was able to help other female business owners spot their self-squashing barriers.

Proud of writing my first book and standing on that TEDx red circle in my mid 60s.

Also proud that I faced down my 'non-sporty' 'wimpish about heights self-stuck labels by taking up a new hobby recently - climbing.
