All About Me
My Career Background:
The Path to Coaching: 💼✨
My professional journey has been anything but predictable—each chapter shaped by transformation, adaptability, and a deep desire to help others grow. What started in business management gradually evolved into a career built on empowerment, confidence-building, and personal development, leading to the creation of Purple Minds.
From Business Strategy to Human Connection: 📊➡️🤝
I began in business management, immersed in strategy, problem-solving, and the structured world of operations. While I thrived in analytical thinking, I soon realized I wanted to do more than optimize systems—I wanted to work directly with people, helping them navigate challenges and find their own paths forward.
Early Childhood Education: Understanding Growth: 🌱👶
Transitioning into early childhood education opened my eyes to the foundations of confidence, resilience, and personal development. I saw firsthand how support, encouragement, and environment shape a person’s belief in themselves. While my physical disability eventually required me to step away from this path, it led me toward new opportunities to create impact.
Support Work & Finding My People 🤝🌿
Working in disability and mental health supports, as sole trader, deepened my understanding of empowerment, emotional resilience, and the importance of safe spaces. It was in this role that I saw just how much transformation can happen when people feel truly seen and supported. And then, Monique Hendricks appeared—first as a familiar name on my TikTok #FYP, and soon as a guiding presence in my journey. For a while, I hadn’t found a page or community that really aligned with my interests, values, and the way I saw the world. Then Monique kept showing up—someone who blended crystal healing with mental health advocacy, offering both insight and connection. At first, I hesitated. But eventually, I clicked into one of her lives. Then another. And another. What I found was a space where people came together—not just to learn, but to share, support, and grow. Somewhere in those moments, I realized I had found clarity at my crossroads, the courage to step into something new, and a whole community of people who understood one another. And then, as if the universe wanted to make sure I was paying attention, a Facebook ad randomly appeared on my feed—unexpected, but something told me to click it. Between that moment, Monique’s built community, and of course, the unwavering support of my loving family, Purple Minds was born.
Family has been my biggest teacher, shaping how I understand growth, resilience, and human connection—but it’s not my only source of wisdom. Life has thrown me plenty of curveballs (some fast, some wildly unpredictable 🎢😅), each one reinforcing the importance of self-awareness, acceptance, and embracing change in the face of uncertainty. 🚀🌿As a neurodivergent individual and a parent to neurodiverse kids, I’ve had a front-row seat to the beautifully chaotic world of learning, self-discovery, and the occasional existential crisis over spilled cereal. 🥣💭 Watching my kids take on life with their own brilliance, challenges, and creativity, I’ve seen firsthand that confidence isn’t built by fitting into a box—it’s about owning your uniqueness and maybe even setting that box on fire 🔥💡(metaphorically, of course).Beyond family, my passion for psychology, mental health awareness, advocacy, and holistic wellbeing has been fuelled by professional experience, stubborn determination, and a deep curiosity about the mind-body connection 🤯💜. Whether it’s diving into psychological principles, exploring emotional resilience, or embracing holistic approaches like essential oils, my journey has been one of curiosity, growth, and finding ways to empower individuals in all aspects of wellbeing.
