From a “I am going to start a business but having no idea what that was going to be or look like” idea nine years ago to a double shortlist a few weeks back, I am still wondering is this for real?
Today the Best Business Women Awards have shared the Most Inspirational Businesswoman finalists, and I’m honoured to be in such impressive company. I’ve been reading the other finalists’ journeys and they are impressive.
Huge thanks to the panel and organisers at the Awards, and to every client, partner and friend who has trusted, challenged and championed me over the years. No matter what happens in October, this one’s for you.

Meet our 2025 Finalists for Most Inspiring Businesswomen.

There is a diverse range of businesses, all run by women who have fascinating stories, some who have had dramatic moments on their business journey, but all demonstrate drive, determination, and tenacity.

These inspirational women all show anything is possible, and we have no doubt that will motivate others to follow them.

Back on British soil after 3 weeks back home in Toronto.

This was such a needed break after what’s been a crazy busy year, thanks to so many of you for your recommendations. Your constant support is truly appreciated.

When I say it’s been crazy busy, I mean I totally forgot to celebrate the company’s 9th year anniversary🤪… oops!

Now I’ve had time to relax, eat like a pig and enjoy humid weather I feel I’m ready to knock it out of the park in the coming months.

There is going to be more content from me starting tomorrow which I hope people find interesting and helpful!

I listen to a lot of podcasts and one of my favourites in recent times has been The Drop in CEO, so to be a contributor to one of its episodes was very surreal.

I am so excited to let you know that this episode will be coming out on July 15. 🤗

Thanks Deb for the invite.

I'm not sure quite how I got here, but this morning I had to pinch myself when I saw my name and book cover online.

I couldn't have done this without the years of support I got from my network who encouraged me to keep going, but also to my wonderful clients who through the years have trusted me with their businesses.

This has been by far the most challenging thing I have ever done, more than the challenges I had moving to the U.K., or raising my kids!

I’m very proud of this project hope you like it too. ❤️🇨🇦

The audio version of the book will be available in a couple of months.

Received another book review.

Receiving such feedback from a respected and admired industry professional motivates me to persevere, even during moments of self-doubt.

Thanks Colin.

Whilst writing my book, one thing I wanted to ensure is that the book was accessible to all its readers but also have a positive impact. So receiving feedback like this from Graham, who is truly respected within the business world, makes all the ups and downs I had through my writing journey worth while.

When I decided to write this book, I wanted to make sure that I could create something that encourages the reader to ask questions and a bit of self-reflection, but in a practical and not "theory".

Receiving feedback like this from another sole entrepreneur like myself, just made my day.

Well that was an experience… never seen so many copies of my face 🤣 🤪

Last week, the moment finally came… it was off to the printers we went!!

It was one of the most surreal moments in my life. I was given the opportunity to see my book get printed and packed ready for April 26!

So here is a mini video of the fun I had last week!

Thanks a million to PHILIP for the behind the scenes access and Ben for capturing this special moment!
