From frustration to fulfilment: How Philly transitioned her career and launched a thriving wellbeing business

Philly had always been drawn to wellbeing, but as an HR professional, she found herself bogged down by tasks that didn’t align with her true passions. She felt guilty spending time on the small parts of her job she actually enjoyed and wondered if it was time to quit and start her own business.

But something was holding her back and she was unsure if it was fear or something else.

Through coaching, Philly gained the clarity she needed. She realized there were still opportunities for growth in her current role that could help her build the skills and confidence to make her dream a reality.

"I was able to get everything out of my head and talk it through with someone neutral but experienced in the world of work. Lucy challenged me, helping me navigate difficult conversations and make strategic career moves."

By positioning herself as an expert in workplace wellbeing, Philly built her reputation, improved her communication, and ultimately crafted her own role within the company.

“I wrote my own job description for wellbeing and went on to win three national awards – giving me the confidence to finally take the leap and start Wellbeing Tick.”

Now, she’s self-employed, works a four-day week, and has full flexibility to shape her career on her terms.

Looking back to when she first sought career coaching with Lucy back in 2017, Philly says she knows one thing for sure:

"Lucy’s coaching steered me in the right direction. After working with her, I felt so much more confident and sure of where my career was heading.

“My own wellbeing has improved hugely – better work-life balance, more confidence, stronger self-awareness, and real alignment with my values. I now have full autonomy, and I can take my business with me wherever I go.”

Now Philly is not just living her dream – she’s helping others achieve theirs too.
