Simply put - Thriving Through Connection is for people who want to do life differently.

Guidance, support & connection for heart-led individuals, entrepreneurs, change-makers and visionaries.

We follow our intuition. We feel deeply. We care about creating something that actually matters - in our business, our lives, and the world around us.

We’re led by the Aligned Life Framework: Awareness, Intention, Clarity, Connection, Courage and Commitment.

We want to be around other people who get it. People who speak our language. People who believe in life and business with heart, soul, and purpose.

Thriving Through Connection - a community for those who don’t want to pretend, explain, or push. For people who believe in integrity, balance, authenticity and who lead their life with heart.

This is a place where you can just be you and I can be me.

Here, connection isn’t a buzzword — it’s the foundation. Connection to self, connection to others and connection to the divine.


Thriving Through Connection is offered as a membership subscription through Substack. I also run TTC events and workshops locally in Parkdale, Victoria (learn more here), and offer private coaching, an online courage circle and a ‘Wildly Beautiful Life’ Alignment Accelerator program online.

Who am I and why am I building this community?

I am a bridge between soul and strategy — a heart-led guide here to help you remember your highest potential.
