In Her Own Words
About Her
I believe in chemistry—not algorithms. Just because we both like ’80s music and coffee doesn't mean we belong together. I’ve been on and off this site more times than I care to admit, but hey, here we go again... this time with a fresh approach!
✔️ What you should know about me:
I’m vivacious, witty, and fiercely independent. I have three phenomenal adult daughters and a career I love. I’m a Resilience Coach, Talent Development Professional, and Inspirational Speaker which basically means I get paid to think, create, talk, and inspire—and I love every second of it.
✔️ Things I unapologetically love:
• My family – my three girls and their partners
• A mean game of Scrabble (prepare to be humbled)
• A wicked sense of humour—dry, dark, and sometimes delightfully inappropriate
• Reading—fiction, non-fiction, anything that makes me think
• Podcasts—especially true crime, history, and survival
• Deep conversations over a great bottle of wine…. Or just deep conversations
• Socialising (think: extrovert with good taste in people)
• Stuart Little—my part Chihuahua, part Pug, part Tasmanian Devil sidekick. If you don’t like dogs, we have a problem.
There’s no such thing as "no baggage." We’ve all got a carry-on or two—it’s what makes us interesting. What matters is whether you’ve unpacked it, organised it, and can carry it like an adult.
✔️ What I’m looking for:
Someone real—no false advertising, no midlife crises in progress. A man who’s smart, kind, and has his life together. Someone who can challenge me in conversation, make me laugh until I snort, and is just as comfortable at a fancy dinner as he is in the bush.
If you’re still reading, you might just be my kind of person. Let’s find out. 😊
