For more than 25 years, I worked inside the high-pressure world of global media.
I led major productions. Managed multi-million-pound budgets.
And navigated high-stakes environments across organisations including:
BBC, Sky, ITV, Channel 4, IMG, BT Sport, Red Bull Media House, Fremantle.
From the outside, I was successful.
Behind the scenes...
I was running on perfectionism, adrenaline and sheer willpower.
Then motherhood changed everything.
The strategies I had relied on for twenty years suddenly stopped working.
I couldn’t stay late every night.
I couldn’t simply push through exhaustion.
My time wasn’t entirely my own anymore.
And my energy no longer behaved the way I expected it to.
For the first time, I wondered:
“Have I lost my ambition?”
I hadn’t.
