✨ Happy International Women’s Day!

To celebrate IWD, women in tech, women’s empowerment and self-expression, have a look at what She Techs Shop has to offer.

Sometimes the best gift is the one you give yourself. Like this cozy oversized tee that reminds us all - tech needs more of our feminine energy.

Made sustainably, because we care about our planet as much as we care about representation in tech. And yes, we’ll recycle it when you’re done!

Pop in and treat yourself (or your awesome tech friends) to something that makes you smile while making a statement 💫

Do you ever find yourself overthinking everything?

You want to say what’s on your mind, but you second-guess yourself. You want to take the next step, but you talk yourself out of it because you don’t have all the answers yet. Even if it a small decision, is still feels like a mental battle.

This is very common for me, too. And if I’m coaching you to build confidence in your career and decisions, I’d better be doing the same for myself.

That’s why a few days ago I attended a VIP mastermind day with my own coach, Andrea Callanan, surrounded by women business owners who are all pushing through to the next level, which is different for all of us. Saying what we actually want to say, making moves without apologising, and backing ourselves fully.

I love bringing gems of insight from these events back to my coaching clients because once you stop waiting for permission and start trusting yourself, things feel different.

DM me ‘GEMS’ for your half hour intro to working with me 121 on taking action to get more of what you want.

✨ Define perfection.

A bubble before it pops. A sunset that feels like a dream. Perfection is a moment, a feeling, not a fact.

Your version of perfect isn’t mine. And that’s the point.

💻 My ideal website - one that’s beautiful *and* works hard for my client.
🧠 My ideal coaching session - my client sighing with relief after a breakthrough.
📱 My ideal post - one that reminds you I’m human too.

If you feel like you *should* have it all figured out - but don’t - let’s talk.

🎶 NEVER A JOB – a tech job search anthem!

To the tune of Never Enough from The Greatest Showman.

Job hunting in tech is STILL chaos, as I know from some of my clients and tech friends so I put my feelings into a song. Wrote this pre-AI hype, but the struggle is timeless!

CapCut was a trooper with the lyrics generation, although there were a few crashes, so show me some love! 💙

Drop a 🎤 if you’ve ever felt stuck in the tech job search!

I love ChatGPT because

It’s not passive aggressive - if I ask it a question, it doesn’t jump on my tone

If I say ‘is that a good idea?’ It says ‘yes, that’s a strong and empowering message!’ and offers to help without being pushy

If I ask it about symptoms, it adopts a friendly and serious tone to let me know I’m being heard

If I suggest tweaks and further tweaks, it doesn’t get snarky and start sighing loudly

But I have toned it down, using ChatGPT - concerned about my content not being authentic

and the environmental impact - how much or little individual responsibility do we have?

But that thought is for another day (not too far away).

Why do you love ChatGPT - or similar?

PS this post was written by me, a human wearing pyjamas.

I'm thinking about running a course to help women in tech roles with workplace confidence. Who's in?

😊 Would you trade your busy mind for a clear direction?

🥨 When your brain feels like a mess of tangled charger cables, and you can’t get your thoughts in order because everything is a priority.

🔥 You want to take action but you don’t know where to start.

😇 You may not believe this, but I actually like untangling things. This is why I worked in tech and why I am now training to be a coach.

Follow for tips to get more CLARITY into your day from someone who knows what it’s like… 👍

🚀 It’s done! I’ve now got 3 lovely new clients filling my pro bono spots, and I couldn’t be more excited to support them on their journey.

For any women in tech dealing with self-doubt or not sure on next steps, keep watching this space. I'll be opening up more coaching slots to help more of you move past those blocks and get where you want to be.

👀 Ready to start making changes? DM me or follow for updates.
