Feeling Overwhelmed, Stuck, or Like You've Lost Yourself?
Do you ever feel like you’ve lost your sense of identity or confidence?
Maybe you’re constantly juggling a never-ending To Do list, overthinking everything, holding yourself to unrealistic expectations, held back by imposter syndrome.
You’re exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone – and it’s taking a toll.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You may be feeling:
-
Stuck, scattered, unmotivated, and overloaded from daily demands
-
You’ve lost your identity and confidence – in parenting, empty-nest or retirement stages, life or career changes
-
Consumed by worry, overthinking, self-doubt, guilt and unrealistic expectations of perfectionism and people-pleasing
-
Mentally and physically drained from carrying the invisible load and juggling the ‘busyness’ of work, life, and family
You’ve come to the right place.

Support That Understands Where You Are...
and Accountability Strategies That Help You Get Where You Want to Be
Hi, I’m Karyn – a Productivity, Mindset & Communication Coach and Women’s Wellbeing Specialist.
I’ve been where you are – wearing the ‘busy badge’, pushing through the overwhelm, losing my identity, confidence and self-belief, and wondering how to reclaim my life.
I learned how to quieten my inner critic, simplify the chaos, and get results by focusing on what truly matters – ONE THING at a time.
Now I help other women do the same.
A Whole-Life Approach to Sustainable Change and Results
Together, we’ll look at each area of your life to help you create clarity, structure, and confidence, including:
-
Physical health, wellbeing and self-care
-
Career and work-life balance
-
Relationships and communication
-
Parenting support and guidance
-
Financial confidence and wealth creation
-
Life transitions such as career or relationship changes, empty nest, or retirement
I’ll help you uncover what’s important to you, build a clear vision and plan, and walk beside you every step of the way – with tools, systems, motivation, and accountability.
Transform Your Life From:
-
Chaos → Calm, clarity, and control
-
Overwhelmed → Organised and empowered
-
Self-doubt → Confidence, belief, and purpose
You don’t have to keep ‘pushing through’. You deserve to feel in control, connected, and confident again.
Let’s create a life that feels good from the inside out.
About Karyn
I’ve spent over 25 years working with busy, overwhelmed women and mothers, helping them rediscover who they are – their passion, purpose, and WHY.
I support women to build confidence and self-belief, set strong healthy boundaries by saying “No”, and get organised with systems that actually work.
I’m the author of How to Keep the YOU in Mum, an experienced coach, facilitator, speaker, writer, and founder of the THRIVE women’s community events. I’m also a mum of two, so I truly understand the juggle.
As an accredited coach with the International Coach Federation, a CliftonStrengths coach, and a licensed Communicate Powerfully facilitator, I’m passionate about helping women and teams not just survive but thrive.
My background in Psychology, Neuroscience, Wellbeing, Communication, and Marketing allows me to support real, lasting transformation – both personally and professionally.
I’ve written articles for national media (including stuff.co.nz, parenting magazines, and The Press) and been interviewed on TV and in women’s magazines as an expert voice on wellbeing and motherhood.
Based in Christchurch, I work with women across New Zealand and internationally, offering 1:1 coaching, group and online programmes, workshops and events that help you reconnect with you and your priorities.
