It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As the Confidence Mindset Club,  my approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.

About Me

From Shy to Stage-Ready: My Journey to Confidence

Growing up, I was always the shy kid in the corner. Being diagnosed with dyspraxia at a young age helped explain some of the challenges I faced at school—the struggles that made me feel different, isolated, and uncertain about my place in the world.

For years, I let that shyness define me. Social anxiety kept me quiet, kept me small, kept me from fully showing up in my own life.

Then I discovered Toastmasters, and everything changed.

Finding My Voice

I'll be honest—those first meetings were terrifying. Standing up to speak felt like stepping off a cliff. But Toastmasters taught me something revolutionary: you don't need to be fearless to be brave. You just need to be willing to try.

I embraced the Toastmasters philosophy of learning by doing, using constructive feedback not as criticism but as a compass guiding me toward growth. Step by step, speech by speech, I went from a shy introvert with social anxiety to a confident speaker who actively seeks out challenges.

The transformation wasn't just about public speaking—it was about discovering who I truly was beneath all that fear.

Since then, I've taken on numerous leadership roles at both club and district levels, become a club coach, and mentored new members through their own journeys. What I've learned is that public speaking and leadership aren't just "nice-to-have" skills—they're social skills essential for success in any area of life. The ability to inspire and influence others, to use humor to create rapport, to make people smile and feel understood—these skills change everything.

Creativity as Courage

I've always been a creative soul who loves a challenge. Over the years, I've explored filmmaking, written short stories, and even dipped my toes into stand-up comedy (because apparently, I like to keep pushing my comfort zone!). I regularly perform with my local drama group, Bare Bones Drama, in North London theatres, where I continue to discover new dimensions of myself on stage.

Advocacy That Matters

Mental health advocacy runs deep in my veins. Through my work supporting various mental health and social care charities, I've seen firsthand how crucial it is to create spaces where people feel safe to share their struggles. As a proud supporter and regular guest on the Mental Health Warriors YouTube show, I'm committed to raising awareness and amplifying voices that often go unheard. Too many people suffer in silence—I want to help change that.

The Winding Road of Experience

My career path hasn't been linear—far from it. I've survived four redundancies, navigated countless temporary roles, and worked in everything from investment banking to charities, from a women's prison to a kitchen, from schools to everything in between. I've also freelanced as a writer, something I've always been passionate about, helping small businesses develop their brand stories and find their authentic voice.

Some might see this varied path as a weakness. I see it as my superpower. Every experience taught me something new about resilience, adaptation, and the art of starting over.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Here's what all these experiences have taught me: Having a good skillset is important, but having a great mindset is essential for happiness and success in whatever matters to you.

This is the heart of the Confident Mindset Club. Your mindset isn't just positive thinking or motivational quotes—it's the foundation upon which you build your entire life. It's how you respond to challenges, how you speak to yourself, how you show up when things get hard.

I created this community because I know what it's like to feel stuck, anxious, and uncertain. I also know what's possible when you decide to change your internal narrative and step into your power.

Whether you're struggling with confidence, navigating career transitions, dealing with anxiety, or simply wanting to become the best version of yourself—you're in the right place.

Let's build that confident mindset together.
