About Trudy
Market Research Analyst ➡️ Teacher ➡️ Personal Branding & Social Media Marketing Coach.
Here’s how it all began …
For a long time, my life followed a clear path.
I worked in market research for 3 years after completing a Psychology degree. I was trained to analyse behaviour, read patterns, and make sense of complex information. I later became a teacher and curriculum writer, working inside structured systems with predictable outcomes. I understood how things were meant to work and how to succeed within them.
The Life Shift I Didn’t Choose
Then my son was born with a virus, and everything changed.
What started as a brief illness during pregnancy became hearing loss, seizures, cochlear implants, and years of navigating medical and education systems that rarely saw the full picture. I became the one holding it all. The history. The therapies. The decisions no one else would live with long-term.
How That Experience Changed Me
That experience reshaped how I think, decide, and lead.
I learned how to synthesise complex information quickly, weigh expert advice against lived reality, advocate under pressure, and make decisions without certainty or reassurance. These were not skills I planned to develop. They were skills I had to build.
Why I Stepped Away From My Old Career
Over time, it became clear that my teaching career no longer fit who I was becoming. Not because I lacked expertise, but because I no longer wanted to work inside systems that struggled to hold nuance, complexity, or lived context.
Rebuilding Work on My Own Terms
At the same time, I had to rebuild how I worked. Flexibility was not optional.
Applying my marketing and insights analytical skills - I taught myself content creation and began sharing my story online. When I finally stepped into my power and owned my story and started being precise, people understood not just what had happened to me, but why I think and work the way I do now.
The Work I Do Today
Today, I help women who have been reshaped by life learn how to stand in their story with clarity and confidence.
Not by softening it.
But by owning the story that makes them unique and telling it with precision, ownership, and intention.
Because when you stop apologising for what shaped you, your story stops being something you survived and becomes something powerful.
