Championing female founders to move from imposter to impactful action to grow their impact and income ⚡ Turn ‘I’m not good enough’ into ‘I’ve got this!’ 🔥 Confidence Curator | Speaker | Mindset motivator

I help women over 50 become who they want to be (and not give a f*ck about what people think)

Most of my clients come to me feeling like they’ve…

- Spent years putting everyone else first
- Been surviving not thriving for a long time
- Lost themselves in work, marriage, or motherhood
- Had a sense that life is happening to them not for them
- Got stuck after a big life change, despite external success
- Lost touch with who they are after years of being a 'good' wife, mum, daughter, employee
- Been through divorce, separation, kids leaving home, menopause, death of their parents - grief, loss, and massive change

They’ve had enough.
And they want MORE.

They want something different from this next phase of life.
They want to feel vibrant, resilient, and fully themselves in midlife and beyond.

It’s not just about clarity.
Or confidence.
Or purpose.

It’s a Life Rebuild.

We REFRAME how you see yourself and what you’re here for

We REGULATE your system so you feel grounded, safe, and in control

We RECONNECT with who you actually are - the YOU you lost touch with

So you can RECEIVE joy, peace, calm, love, clients, health, wealth; whatever you desire


Working with me you’ll:

📌 Rebuild your confidence after years of putting yourself last

📌 Rewire your nervous system after decades of stress and anxiety

📌 Find your identity again and feel comfortable with who you are

📌 Break free from people-pleasing when it’s been a way of life for years

📌 Find meaning and purpose beyond your daily roles and responsibilities

📌 Feel excited and  passionate about life again and look forward to the next phase

📌 Create a plan & roadmap for what comes next - what YOU want and how you’ll get it


Excited for this?

Most women over 50 aren't confused about who they are.

They're just out of practice being themselves.

For decades, you've known exactly who you are to everyone else.
Mum. Partner. Employee. Daughter.
The one who holds it all together.

But ask yourself, "Who am I now?"
And it gets fuzzy.

Not because you've lost yourself.

But because the moment there's actual space to work that out… the guilt shows up.
The fear creeps in.
Your body tenses.

Here's what's really happening:
Your nervous system spent years learning that keeping everyone else happy = safety.

So when you try to prioritise yourself now?
It reads that as a threat 🚨
To your body, wanting more feels like risking everything you've built.

So what do most women do?
They try to think their way through it.
🖼️ Vision boards.
📖 Journaling prompts.
🧘‍♀️ Affirmations about self-worth.

All good stuff. But it skips the most important part.

Why that doesn't work:
👉 Because you can't talk your nervous system out of a panic response.
🧠 You can't mindset your way past a body that's been wired for decades to put you last.

You have to show it - in real time - that it's safe to be YOU again.

If you're ready to actually work with your body instead of fighting it, let's talk.
We'll figure out what's keeping you stuck - and how to shift it.

"I want more."

Three words.
But if you're a woman over 50, they can feel like you're doing something wrong.

Not to anyone else. To you.
To the version of yourself who's spent decades saying yes when you wanted to say no.

If that's you... you're sooo not the only one.

Most women I work with carry this quiet thing underneath - a longing for something that's just theirs.

A morning that doesn't start with everyone else's needs.
A day that doesn't end absolutely shattered.
A life that actually feels like their life again.

But the second they feel that? The guilt arrives. Like clockwork.

"I should be grateful."
"It's too late now."
"Who do you think you are?"

Here's the thing: this isn't selfishness.
It's conditioning.

If you were raised to be the reliable one - the giver, the glue, the good girl - then of course wanting more feels dodgy.

That guilt isn't a fault in you. It's just what you were taught.

One thing I use with clients to interrupt this pattern is dead simple:

🧍‍♀️ Sit or stand tall.
🙌 Lift your chest, open your arms, raise your chin.
😮‍💨Breathe into that position.

Then say aloud (or in your head):
"I'm allowed to want more."
Say it three times, louder each time.

That physical shift - body open, chest up - it tells your nervous system something different.
That you're safe.
That you don't have to collapse just because the world taught you to shrink.

This is just the start.
If you want the rest of the process so you can actually want things without feeling like you're letting everyone down, comment "more" and I'll send it over to you.

You're not selfish. You're just waking up to what you've been ignoring.
Waking up to YOU ❤️

Feeling stuck? Look to your body.

Sometimes we want things to be different.

❌To stop doing this.
✅To start doing that.
🧠To think differently.
😍To be different.

But when it comes to it, despite all our good intentions, we find we're still thinking, saying and doing the same things.
You know, the things we swore we'd stop.

Or we start the new thing, only to realise we've slipped back into our old ways.

Your body is the key.
It acts habitually without you even being aware of it.

So if you want change, start to notice what's going on in your body.

😱Always panic when someone asks you a difficult question? 
What does your body do? What sensations do you feel?

🗣️Freak out when you have to speak at a meeting?
What happens in your body before you speak? 

🥺Feel guilty when you think about what you want?
What do you feel inside and where?

If you want to change something you don't like about your behaviour or reactions, start paying attention to your physical body and what's going on inside.

You can't change what you aren't aware of.

I work with entrepreneurial women in business, big thinkers, who need help, advice & mentoring on any business matters or challenges, women who are seeking guidance and input for developing their business. Whether considering scaling their business, planning to introdce new services or products or simply in need of a different perspective on their business, to create a fresh approach. I help identify any missed business opportunities and advise how to make changes which encourage growth and development plans, to move a business forward.  

I work with aspiring new start ups as well as established businesses. There is no 'one size fits all' approach working with me. I do not work in a 'prescriptive' way but offer bespoke, sensible and practical solutions, which help bring clarity and focus for a business and the owner.  

I offer my clients the option of a bespoke mentoring service or ad hoc business advice & guidance as and when they need it. No tie to expensive 'programmes'. Often one session is all that is needed!

Business Advisor & Mentor to Female Entrepreneurs & Founders

The Women in Business Network

Following the sale of the WIBN network in 2011, I relinquished managing the overall business but remained involved running WIBN groups and facilitating monthly meetings. These groups ran alongside my business development consultancy.

The meetings offered a great opportunity for business women to meet and network with like minded women.

WIBN - Facilitator of networking groups

The Women in Business Network (WIBN)

As the founder and managing director of the Women in Business Network (from 2005 - 2011) I developed and grew the network from an idea to a 1100+ strong offline membership network that offered business networking to women. I grew the business from the initial 1 or 2 groups to 75+ groups in the UK, through a well developed business model including franchising the business.  

I have experience of creating a well respected brand that had scalable potential. I created a franchised business model to enable growth, by introducing robust systems & procedures to support a fast growing business.

A few kind words:
"Jan has all of traits you would expect of an experienced, successful businesswoman – the ability to listen carefully; an agile mind that gives her clarity of thought and allows her to come up with creative suggestions to resolve business problems; and she is a decisive strategist. However, she is also a lovely human being – she is friendly and supportive, and understands that everyone is unique and so needs a unique solution for their business. I would highly recommend Jan".

Anne (Skincare Clinic Owner & Aethestician)

“I found Jan to be an inspiring and reinvigorating help to my business in so many ways at our session. She is supportive whilst also being very incisive and insightful about business. She not only saw the gaps in my business strategy but she teased out issues that I hadn’t even been aware of myself. I felt so energised and positive after my session with Jan, chomping at the bit to put some of her ideas into action. I’d highly recommend a session with Jan“
