Hey! I'm Amanda

Matrescence & Clarity Coach for mums returning to work.

Motherhood flipped the script, and now you’re doing everything for everyone but struggling to recognise the woman behind it all.

If your first 1-2 years back to work feel overwhelming, uncertain, or tangled - I help you navigate your next career steps with clarity, confidence, and a sense of yourself again.

The Heart Behind My Work

I built a career that was meant to define me.
The promotions, the structure, the sense of purpose - I loved it. Until motherhood arrived and quietly asked,
what now?

It wasn’t a dramatic collapse. More like a gentle unravelling. The version of me that had once thrived on deadlines and achievements began to question everything. What really matters? Who am I when the markers of success no longer fit the same way?

That shift - the messy, beautiful, identity-redefining process of matrescence - changed everything. I realised so many other ambitious women were having the same conversation in their heads but didn’t have the language or space to unpack it.

That’s why I created She Navigates - a coaching space for career-driven mothers who feel the tug between ambition and evolution. Here, we explore the transition, not resist it. We make sense of who you’re becoming and design a life that actually fits.

Because you don’t need to “find your old self.”
You’re growing into your next one.

My Coaching

There was a time I couldn’t quite recognise myself.
I was trying to be the woman I’d always been - ambitious, capable, driven - while becoming someone entirely new. Motherhood didn’t just change my days; it changed
me.

I didn’t need another tip on managing time or a book telling me how to parent better. I needed space to breathe. To find my voice again. To figure out what I believed in now that everything looked different.

That’s why I created She Navigates. It’s the space I wish I’d had - one that says, “you’re not broken, you’re evolving.”

Here, we strip back the noise and get real about who you’re becoming. We talk about identity, ambition, boundaries, and all the messy middle ground that no one warns you about. Together, we rebuild from the inside out - not chasing balance, but creating alignment.

My job isn’t to tell you who to be. It’s to help you see what’s already there - the woman beneath the expectations, ready to take up space again.

This isn’t about bouncing back.


It’s about moving forward - grounded, clear, and proud of the woman you’re becoming. Not despite motherhood, but because of it.
