Why did I write this book?
Writing Flex was my way of saying: “You’re not alone.”
When I started writing Flex, it wasn’t just about sharing advice—it was about telling my story. Losing a job I loved during the COVID pandemic left me at a crossroads. As a part-time recruiter at one of the Big 4 and a mum to two toddlers, I faced a stark reality: finding flexible, family-friendly work that valued my skills felt impossible.
I know what it’s like to be told “full-time only,” to feel torn between career and family, and to wonder if ambition has to take a backseat. Those challenges inspired me to create Investing in Women, a space where women could find flexible work without sacrificing their goals.
Flex is the guide I wish I’d had—practical, empowering, and proof that you can build a career on your terms. I hope it inspires you to find work that fits your life and reminds you of your worth.
With Love
