Hey! I’m Paula.
I founded my first business ‘The Quarter Life Coach’ in 2010 because as a single, jobless and directionless 20 something; I needed a space to talk about the hard stuff- career decisions, ambitions, relationship and dating struggles and money!
10 years on and Injoyability has become my new hub to learn, to share and to teach! Who we are changes and evolves over time, and so does what we do. Now, I’m needing a space to talk about the really tough stuff- love, marriage, loss, motherhood, criticism, being yourself and really visible, boundaries, relationships, mental health and wellbeing, outrageous joy, guilt, shame, respecting my body, wealth, ambition and business.
I’m a Mama & Wife
I’m married to the gorgeous Colm who I met online in 2010 and we started our family with our pet wolf/malamute Lilo! I’m the mother of two, soon to be 3! I have my daughter Sarah who is 5 and the light of my life, my beautiful boy Rob who we lost completely unexpectedly during birth last year and now, I’m expecting our 3rd child.
An Entrepreneur & Teacher
Working as a coach for the past 12 years has thought me so many lessons but the main one…. I don’t have any answers. I’m always finding my way and navigating my way through the hard stuff. I seek out help from my teachers and you know where they send me…. right back to myself. I do this as well with my clients over the past 10 years.
Why?
Because NO ONE else on this earth can know you like you can know yourself (if you give yourself permission). No one else can know what’s right for your life, for your family, for your dreams, for your gifts and talents. But this is something that we need to learn, and practice and practice and practice. It’s not easy to trust and listen to yourself. It’s not what we were thought and it’s not how we were raised- we always sought guidance from other people who were in charge asking them ‘What do you think I should do?’- be that our parents, our partner, our friends, society in general.
My role as a coach and teacher is to send you back to yourself. You have the answers and when you learn how to access and trust those answers, you will claim ownership over your life.
