Mentoring is making a connection - establishing trust, safety, and walking alongside someone as they navigate life’s challenges. It’s a supportive, relational role offering guidance drawn from lived experience. It’s not counselling. It is a space to reflect, explore, and be encouraged as you move forward.
I bring many years of life experience, professional skill, and grounded insight - offering tools, wisdom, and a listening ear to support you - as the mentee. Whether you're facing a crossroads, a setback, or simply seeking direction, mentoring can help you gain clarity, confidence, and momentum.
Who I Work With
I work one-on-one with adults, professionals, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. I’m also open to working with couples and young people, particularly when the focus is on professional or personal development.
Mentees often need space to talk about where they're at, where they want to go, and how to get there. They’re navigating life transitions, challenges, and roadblocks - requiring guidance, insight, and encouragement through that process. Mentoring offers clarity, confidence, and practical strategies to move forward. It’s about supporting growth while helping identify and overcome barriers.
What I Bring to Mentoring
I bring decades of lived experience across a broad spectrum of life—both personal and professional. From navigating complex relationships, health challenges (physical and emotional), single parenting, marriage, divorce, and personal reinvention - to employment and unemployment, building a business from the ground up, adult education, financial rebuilding, grief and loss, and the deep transformations that come through adversity. I can confidently say that I can walk my talk.
I offer empathy, insight, and practical tools, backed by real-world experience. I understand crossroads. I understand rebuilding. And I understand what it means to grow through it all.
Mentoring sessions can be as informal or as structured as needed. Some prefer relaxed conversation; others value a more focused approach. I am flexible to suit your needs. There’s no set rule, just a shared commitment to the process and a focus on what you need to move forward.
