If you’ve read the book, heard me speak, or found your way here online, this is where my work comes together.
This is a place to explore The Other Way more deeply through words, conversations, and community. No pressure. Just a chance to stay connected and see what resonates.
Occasional emails.
Thoughtful reflections.
No noise.
You might be here because…
You’ve finished the book and don’t quite want to close it yet
Something is shifting — motherhood, work, identity, perimenopause, or all three
You’re tired of “fixing” yourself and want a different kind of support
You’re curious, but not ready to commit to anything big
If any of that rings true, you’re exactly who this space is for.

Stay connected
My mailing list is the simplest way to stay in touch. I share reflections, research-led insight, and occasional invitations, including community openings and events.
This is where the conversation continues if you want it to.

Hi, I’m Kate.
I work with professional women navigating moments of transition. Motherhood, career change and perimenopause often overlap, and I’m interested in what becomes possible when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening more closely to what’s really going on.
My work brings together research, coaching and lived experience. I became particularly drawn to this work through my own transition into motherhood, alongside researching women’s experiences of returning to work and shifting identity.
I create calm, thoughtful spaces where real conversations can happen. Spaces where you don’t have to perform or arrive with answers. Just somewhere to be met as you are, and supported to move forward in a way that feels grounded and true.
If something in you stirred when you arrived here, you’re very welcome.
For women who want to be held in conversation I also run The Other Way Community.
A space to be whole again, alongside other professional women navigating real transitions.
The Motherhood
Transition
Something shifts long before you return and long after. The role, the identity, the sense of where you fit. So much is happening beneath the surface of the practical.
Moving through
perimenopause
Brain fog, shifting energy, a quiet questioning of what matters now. This transition carries real wisdom and it deserves real space.
At a moment of
career change
Something is pulling at you. What's worked before feels less like yours. There's a different kind of aliveness you're moving towards.
How it works
Small, live group sessions twice a month
Ongoing community between sessions
Thoughtful expert input when it’s useful
What women say...
I have been blown away by Kate's knowledge and ability to journey with me and guide me. I have left each session with insight, knowledge and practical things I can and do take into my everyday life.
