Empowering Women Through Mid-Life

Holistic Career Re-Architecture for Women

Soul Compass is the wise women’s approach to navigating midlife careers. If you’re looking to find meaning & purpose, work life balance and to honour your soul; then welcome, you’re in the right place.

Not all superheroes wear capes.

They often look like mothers, wives, daughters, sisters…and women you work with. Maybe even you.

They’re found being the glue that holds families together, trying to build careers, hiding away on those days when being a woman hurts, being the accidental counsellor for those around them, volunteering at the school canteen, keeping food in the fridge and meals on the table. 

They often do all this from the driver seat of the taxi service they run on the side.

Eventually it all gets too much and it’s these stories I hear as a career counsellor when it does.

I hear stories of burnout, imposter syndrome, fears for the future, women’s health challenges, managing kids and ageing parents, lack of support at home, toxic workplaces, and a deep desire for a better work life balance.

Women worry they are losing themselves, that they will never be to stop, that they’re not enough or good enough, that they will never get on top of financial needs today let alone be able to retire, and the simple fact they are usually too tired to enjoy the life they have built.

I recently conducted a survey to put data to these stories and fears and 70% of women respondents said they are anxious, overwhelmed and stressed by this every single day; and that this had lasted over a year for them.

It’s time to change the narrative on women’s careers…

And that’s why at Soul Compass we do things a little differently.
