Empower Your Essence was born from a deep, personal calling — but it grew through the presence of those who had also walked through fire, climbed through doubt, and chosen to listen inward rather than follow the noise.

Along the way, I didn’t just meet colleagues & partners. I met kindreds — people who didn’t just understand the journey, but had lived it too. 

Mandy, our co-founder, arrived not as an addition, but as an anchor. Her presence — calm, steady, quietly powerful — has become the heartbeat of Empower Your Essence. With a mind as sharp as her spirit is warm, she brings both clarity and grace into every space she enters. She doesn’t just help hold the vision — she embodies it. We’ve heard the ‘no’s’, rewritten the rules, and carved meaning from moments that once felt like endings.

Then came Jas, whose warmth and insight form part of the soul of our Synergy Team — the energy behind the energy, if you will. Sylvia, our events orchestrator, who turns intention into presence and moments into milestones. Nicola, our Careers Partner and the visionary behind Silver Pen Careers, whose clarity cuts through confusion and brings people home to what they’re meant to do. And the Silver Pen team, whose dedication meets people at life’s crossroads and gently, powerfully, points them forward.

Together, we are many paths, converging. From business to education, leadership to life purpose, we carry decades of experience across industries, disciplines, and lived stories. What unites us is not just what we know, but what we remember — that real power comes when you stop chasing someone else’s version of success… and begin honouring your own.

We’ve each found our way by listening inward.
Now, we’re here to help you do the same.
