It's time for you to shine

You’ve been dreaming about being your own boss for ages but imposter syndrome keeps knocking you back. Do you have what it takes to create your own business? Won’t people think you’re a fraud?

Well, it’s time to banish those fears and step into the spotlight. You totally have what it takes to shape your own destiny. Yes, you. In all your imperfect glory. Because there is no such thing as a perfect entrepreneur. There’s just those who let their fears do the driving and those who take the wheel with their own two hands.

Hi, I'm Athena

Hi. I’m Athena. I’m an entrepreneur, women’s business coach, wife and crazy dog mom to my Miniature Schnauzer, Frank. I get the struggles that come with running your own business: trying to find time, prioritising, deciding what to do and when to do it.

Who do you turn to when you are feeling overwhelmed? Afraid? Unsure? Your fellow female entrepreneurs of course! I love championing the successes of the incredible women I help on a daily basis, who turn their struggles into a thriving business.

After 10 years helping women write their success stories, I’ve condensed my knowledge into a series of online courses and eBooks that will teach you everything you need to know about launching an online business.
