Wylde Wellbeing offers another way.
For too long, we have been conditioned to override our bodies, suppress our needs, and measure our worth by how much we can carry. This relentless pursuit often leads to burnout, especially for those battling chronic illness. We perform, push through exhaustion, and believe the problem must lie within us. However, I believe there is another way. As a coach focused on women's wellbeing and executive coaching, I encourage the courage to question the systems that keep us trapped in over-functioning and to dismantle them.
Why WYLDE WELLBEING?
The term ‘wylde’ is old English for wild and untamed (it was also used to mean uncivilised or undisciplined!!).
I like the thought that I’m a Wylde Woman: free and untethered to what is expected of me by others, but to what I choose for myself, and what works for me, for my body, my nervous system and my capacity.
In recent years, I've been redefining what success, leadership, and womens wellbeing looks like for me. After 22 years in public service, I had to let go of my Council CEO role due to complex health conditions that often lead to burnout.
WYLDE WELLBEING MANIFESTO
Wylde is about reclaiming your life from pressure, programming, and burnout, and living untamed by expectation.
It is the courage to question the systems and expectations that keep us trapped in force and over-functioning. It is the process of unlearning what we have been told we must be and returning to what is true.
To live Wylde is not to be chaotic or reckless. It is to live in alignment with your nature rather than operating like a machine.
It means honouring your body, your nervous system, and your humanity.
It means building a life that is sustainable across every dimension of wellbeing, represented in my Whole-Wellness™ model.
TOO HARD TO SWALLOW was released in April 2025 and is a self-help memoir about the physical and psychological impact of chronic illness and how I’ve coped, what I’ve learned along the way, and how I can help others.
It captures my experiences, moving from illness to wellness and choosing to live well with a long-term condition while managing symptoms of illness and disability. As a coach, I can empathise with others, having faced loss, grief, and trauma in my own life; I’ve experienced birth and death, marriage and divorce, illness and wellness, debt and security, love and loss, and everything in between!
