The Nurture Ambition Pathway

 

The 6 Month Career & Burnout Reset for Women​

A hybrid of career counselling, burnout recovery coaching and holistic wellbeing support.

This 6-month program is designed for mums who want to grow their careers while feeling energised, grounded, and emotionally well. Instead of choosing between career progression or your wellbeing, this program helps you have both,  sustainably and joyfully.

What Makes This Program Different

It blends the best of:

  • Career counselling (goal clarity, direction, transitions, return-to-work)

  • Burnout coaching (stress recovery, emotional regulation, nervous system support)

  • Wellbeing + lifestyle coaching (energy, mindset, routines, mental wellness)

 

It’s the only program created specifically for mums who want to thrive in their careers and motherhood without the high-performance hustle or burnout cycle.

What You Get

 

✔ Fortnightly 1:1 coaching
✔ Evidence-based tools from career development + coaching psychology
✔ Burnout recovery strategies and somatic-focused wellbeing support
✔ Ongoing messaging support
✔ Personalised job search resources (if applicable)

3 Phase Pathway

1 / Reset and Rebalance

Before making big career decisions, we start with you.

This phase helps you slow down, breathe, and find your footing again, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

You will:


• Recover from burnout and restore your energy
• Rebuild confidence and self-belief
• Clarify your values, strengths, motivations, and non-negotiables
• Understand your stress patterns and nervous system needs
• Create space for clarity by reducing mental load and emotional overwhelm

Outcome: You feel calmer, clearer, and grounded, ready to redesign your next chapter with intention instead of urgency.

2 / Redesign Your Career

Once your energy and clarity return, we explore what’s next.

Here, we take a counselling-informed approach to career development, helping you discover career pathways that feel meaningful, aligned, and sustainable.

You will:


• Explore what “meaningful work” looks like for you now
• Redefine your vision for career, lifestyle, and motherhood
• Identify aligned career options based on your strengths, preferences, and wellbeing needs
• Map out a personalised career roadmap or transition plan
• Build self-belief around pursuing the work you truly want

Outcome: You have clarity and direction and a career vision that feels exciting, aligned, and actually sustainable.

3 / Take Action and Build Confidence

Once your plan is clear, we turn it into results.

This phase focuses on strategic action, practical tools, and confidence-building so you can step into your next chapter without burnout.

You will:

​​

Craft a compelling CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile

Build confidence for interviews, networking, and workplace conversations
