Are you a woman with a calling that used to light you up, but day to day reality feels like it’s snuffing out the fire?

You’re a smart, creative woman, with a big heart for doing important work in the world. 

But all the joy, passion and purpose you used to have feels like either it’s not enough to fuel you, or it’s seeped away in the day to day of your working life.

Maybe right now, you’re not sure if you want to reignite the old passions, or explore a whole new gig. Or even if you can.

Your results might look great on the outside, but on the inside it feels dry and dusty, or just unfocused, as you zombie-shuffle to work each day like an escapee from The Walking Dead.

Or maybe your dream mission hasn’t even got off the ground yet, and lives painfully un-expressed within you.

Perhaps you’re feeling numb, or perhaps every nerve end is a-jangle, or perhaps it’s like your work is a planet-sized burden on your shoulders and you wish you loved it the way you used to. Or maybe it’s all just a little bit meh, and there’s a part of you whispering “yes, Alicia, this IS all there is…”.

And some days you might even feel shame - because you’re smart as a fox and you ‘should be able to figure this shit out’ on your own.

Rekindle Coaching

Individual one-to-one support for when you’re ready to rekindle the romance with your work, and make your professional life sustainable, ease-filled, beautiful and joyous.

My highest intention with this work:

  • you get up every morning looking forward to your working day - and make the most of your delicious downtime, too

  • you have way more fun and ease, while serving folks you love and making good money doing it

  • you become a practised expert at liberating yourself from the nasty voices of criticism and doubt in your head

  • you use your natural, inborn gifts and powers to blaze your own trail into sovereignty

  • you surf the energies of synchronicity and experience the magic when you make it easy for the Universe to ‘rise up and meet you halfway’

  • make easy decisions about how to tweak the current gig (or choose a new one), in ways that feel sustainable, useful and joy-filled

This is for you if:

  • you identify as a woman or non-binary or gender fluid person

  • you know you have an important purpose in life, but you’ve either lost touch with it, or you feel like your purpose has changed but you’re not sure how to know what to do next, or your purpose feels like it’s at risk of dying unborn

  • it feels like you ought to know your purpose by now, but each time you think you have it nailed, it slips out of your hands and you’re beset by self-doubt, again

  • you’ve invested a ton of time and money and energy, so it feels really hard to explore the possibility of changing anything

  • you have a habit of dragging yourself forward using brute force, willpower and self-shaming, even though intellectually you know the value of patience, rest and kindness turned inwards

  • you know you came here to change the world, but feel torn between making a profit and making a difference

  • you are open to the possibility that both science and spirit are real

This is not for you if:

  • you’re a man - please know that I love and respect you guys, but my work isn’t going to light you up in the way that it does for the women-oriented or non-binary folks - and of course I have loads of people to whom I can refer you.

  • you have zero belief in the non-physical. I don’t mean you have to have 100% complete faith 24/7, and you certainly don’t have to be any kind of ‘expert’. I simply mean you don’t believe AT ALL, and you’re not curious to explore. If this is you, my approach is going to be really frustrating - and I’d be happy to refer you to some colleagues whose approach might suit better.

  • you aren’t quite ready for the kind of focus you expect from a 1:1 coaching experience, and group work is going to be more your style. I get that! Do please sign up to my email list, so you get notified when I’m next running a group program, as that might be a good starting place.

  • you’re looking for a quick fix with lots of ‘rah rah’ dude-bro hustle. While it’s true that fast change is possible, in my world that comes from kindness turned inwards, and a deliberate absence of rush. That can feel uncomfortable, but it’s effective.

Wait… how is this different?

Almost everything you’ve experienced has been created in your brain as a healthy and reasonable response to the UN-healthy and UN-reasonable systems in which we all grew up: toxic capitalism, colonialism, and the patriarchy.

This doesn’t make you a helpless victim. It gives you back the power to disrupt and dismantle the toxic BS installed in your head by those systems.

Human brains are exquisitely designed for change, when you have the right tools pointed in the right direction.

And change is far easier, when you recruit the power of a little planetary magic.

I’m Janette Dalgliesh

Ever since I was the union rep on a TV production in 1995 and went into battle for the child actors to get their proper lunch breaks, helping people to liberate themselves from toxic systems has been my jam.  

I did it for nearly a decade, as a union organiser for actors and, later, for academics - where a passion for one’s purpose in the world can so easily lead to exploitation, overwork, underearning and burnout (especially for women).

Since 2011, I’ve done it with many hundreds of coaching clients from all walks of life: professionals, entrepreneurs, healers, politicians, painters and poets. 

My two coaching qualifications included three core years of training inside a very diverse student body, as well as various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid, trauma awareness, emotional intelligence, ethics, identity shifting, conscious creation, chaos magic and diversity, equity & inclusivity. 

I've been a student of astrology for years, taking an anti-oppression and Jungian lens to this powerful symbolic language, and helping people connect to the planetary allies that are most appropriate to their goals and desires.

With 20 years as a professional performer, a decade in progressive politics and union work, and growing up the daughter of a country doctor - it’s easy for me to work with clients from all walks of life.

Janette is intuitive in mysterious ways. She is a magic maker. She is powerfully compassionate and a fierce advocate for her clients. Janette is generous, present, and in my personal experience, almost always five steps ahead of me when I feel stuck or lost. Janette can see through the fog better than almost anyone I know.

What will be covered

The journey of change from where you’re at now, to where you want to go, is a dance through fields of infinite possibility, not a forced march along hard roads to a set destination. There’s no rigid ‘one-size-fits-all’ formula or protocol, because we don’t merely need to accommodate the uniqueness of you - we need to celebrate it, and craft the journey accordingly. 

I will meet you where you’re at, with what you need, in any given moment. You can expect to encounter any or all of the following:

  • Finally ditch the old ‘who am I to do this thing?’ thoughts that you KNOW are bullshit, but they keep coming back anyway

  • Release the deep sense that maybe you don’t belong in those important spaces, at least not as much as the colleague who has better quals / has a snazzy IG feed / [insert story here]

  • Liberate yourself from the gluey sensation of wading through the Swamp Of Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

  • Recover from all the ways some “expert” voices make it seem like you have to twist yourself into a not-you pretzel in order to be successful AND happy in your chosen field

  • Ditch self-doubt and second-guessing, the kind that is so exhausting you’re not sure you can face it yet again

  • Easily overcome inertia - that rule of physic which says ‘things want to stay in their current state’, whether that’s heading down a track you don’t love or stuck at a station in the middle of nowhere

  • Address the BS thoughts of “but look at how much I’ve invested in”, because if you’ve devoted a ton of time, energy, money in a certain direction it can feel impossible to change trajectory (reminder: nothing is wasted!)

  • Stop getting knocked off course by those moments when you feel like you’re the one person on the planet who STILL can’t get out of your own way, thanks to procrastination, self-sabotage or people pleasing (hint: those things may not be what you think they are)

  • If your boundaries are either non-existent, a trigger for heartbreak, or a source of so much angst you’d rather not even mention the B word, learn a whole new approach (that you will love)

  • No longer battle demons which tell you that success is inextricably linked to pain, suffering, exhaustion, burnout or martyrdom (on this one, #askmehowIknow)

  • Flip the situation - if the ways in which underearning or overworking (or both) have become so normalised for you, any thought of having it be easier feels like complete nonsense, so this needs to flip

  • Create solace for all the times you think about why things haven’t been as fun / profitable / clear / sustainable, and you find yourself in a shame spiral of ‘if only I were more evolved / healed / positive, I wouldn’t be in this mess’ 

  • No longer struggle in the exhaustion of trying to implement change on your own (I agree! - that’s why I work with non-physical allies who can help with the heavy lifting)

And of course - you’ll have access to a delicious smorgasbord of techniques and tools, from hardcore neuroscience-based mindset work, through to inexplicable yet weirdly potent magic; in other words, there’s always something to make you go ‘ahhhhhhh…’, no matter what you’re working on.

If you think of me as a couples counsellor for you and your career, you won’t be too far off the mark.

Finding the right mix for you, underpinned by a ton of compassion, creates the best combination for the dance of change to happen at a pace your nervous system can tolerate, which in turn means you’ll get swifter results than you might currently think possible.

The Nuts and Bolts

I am your coach, your cheerleader, your ally, your safe space, your confidante and your partner-in-liberation, for the whole period of your coaching package, not just the times we meet face to face. 

There are two packages to choose from, depending on what you’re seeking to change and where you’re at right now.

Both of them include the following:

  • Live Zoom calls. Video calls last for an hour, you can have your camera on or off, and calls are recorded (to your computer, or to my cloud server if you’re using a mobile device).

  • Asynchronous (AS) coaching. This is coaching which happens when we’re not present at the same time - in other words, coaching via some kind of messaging system, rather than in a ‘live’ conversation. I undertake to respond within 48 hours but it’s usually much faster (and if we’re both awake at the same time, it can often be like a back-and-forth DM conversation). I prefer to use Signal, WhatsApp or Voxer, as they allow for both text messages and short voice memos. Email is also an option.

  • Preparatory work. Prior to your first session with me, you’ll be encouraged to utilise my deeply compassionate and potent process of self-enquiry, perfect to help us hit the ground running.

  • Astrological chart (optional). The stars don’t dictate who you are or what you’re capable of; rather, they reveal your inborn gifts, powers, talents, preferences and purpose - the person you came here to be before social conditioning got in the way. Your chart can be incredibly helpful for inspiration and insights; and not everyone is lit up by this approach, so it is optional.

  • Bonus resources. I have a wide range of resources I’ve created over the years, and if I recommend one which would normally incur a cost, you get it included in the coaching package so there are no extra costs. 

And you can also expect to encounter:

  • Compassion: the most effective backdrop for change and growth, and a potent antidote to the mean voices and brain weasels in your head

  • Animal-body safety: comfort and consolation for your nervous system, no matter how fried, jangled or overwhelmed she is or how busy you are

  • Energy management: we’ll boost your energy intake, and reduce energy leaks, so you end up with more energy to play with, making change easier

  • Identity shifting: taking doable, sustainable steps towards inhabiting the version of yourself who is already living a satisfying, ease-filled life, no matter where you’re starting out

  • Absence of rush: we live in a culture renowned for its addiction to instant gratification, pressure of time, and FOMO. If you’ve ever tried accelerating hard off slippery mud, you know that rush often results in standing still; while gentle acceleration is what gets traction. Absence of rush is the foundation of rapid change.

  • Planetary magic: the various astrological players are like VPs with areas of special interest - Mercury for commerce, Saturn for getting shit done, Jupiter for vision and Uranus for smashing through old crap - and you can recruit their aid to make the work easier

A note about the cost

I use ‘Pay from the heart’ pricing, as taught by the brilliant Mark Silver from Heart of Business. If you’re curious about the concept, you can register with Mark to receive a free webinar on the topic - but please make sure you come back here after you click his link!

I’ve never really wanted the giant scaled-up business empire with a team of coaches and a bathtub overlooking the Eiffel Tower. But my work does need for me to make a living, which is why I do it as a business and not as a non-profit or a hobby.

And the stark reality for all of us is that we live in a world where people’s access to resources is wildly variable, in ways that have nothing to do with their innate brilliance or their gifts or their knowledge; and everything to do with the systems in which we were all raised.

For each of my coaching packages, there are three prices to choose from.

Here’s how to make your decision:

  1. first, ask your heart ‘is this the thing I need or want right now?’- and listen for a powerful yes or a powerful no

  2. next, ask your heart ‘which is the right fit for my needs right now? - and listen for the nudge towards one of the two options

  3. finally, ask your heart which of the three prices is most appropriate for you to pay (the $$ details are shown for each one below)

Standard: the ‘break even’ price, which enables me to keep the business going, and to put food on my table and a roof over my head

Growth: a generous amount designed for those who have more access to wealth and resources, who relish the opportunity to help subsidise those with less, and who want to support the growth of my business so I can, in turn, help more people

Access: an accessible price for those who are in a situation where paying more would put their own food and shelter at risk.

Regardless of which price you pick, you will get the exact same service - no ‘punishment’ for needing to use the Access pricing; and no FOMO-inducing ‘VIP extras’ for choosing the Growth option (though of course, you will get lashings of gratitude, if that’s your pick)

I don’t use traditional equity pricing, where prices are set based on someone’s membership of a historically marginalised community - it’s not a terrible model, but I prefer to make space for the reality that there are many individuals from those communities who have found a way to break free of old generational constraints; and there are many in traditionally privileged groups whose personal circumstances may be difficult.

Pay from the heart means I trust you to choose the price that is most appropriate to your own situation, the price that your own heart quietly whispers in your ear.

Teacher, School psychologist

When I first began working with Janette, I felt I was in a black hole with no recourse. From the very first session she focused on the problem, and offered solutions and tools which made sense, and I could put into operation immediately. 

I tried therapy with a counselor before and that left me more distraught than when I began therapy. I needed a female life coach who could make me feel better with the first session. 

I suggest you give Janette a try. She immediately connects with you in a warm and engaging manner and is very well versed in her ability to get to the root of the problem and suggest strategies. She has a wealth of strategies and the science to back them. After working with Janette for three months, I went from deep despair to a woman of joy and peace with a wealth of strategies to practice whenever needed. I am becoming the wise woman crone I so desire to be. With gratitude to Janette!

FAQs

  • The system is rigged. Research shows clearly that little girls are trained from a very early age to ignore their own needs while noticing and prioritising the needs of others, where little boys are taught to notice their own needs and figure out how to have them met. Little girls also learn early that seeking to express themselves fully is inappropriate, shameful or dangerous. Most self help books and productivity programs approach these issues as if they are a personal flaw that needs fixing. My approach works because I also address the systemic BS that got planted in your head, freeing you from any of the self-blame or shame which is such an issue for many women - especially those of us who want to be ‘our best selves’.

  • I can include this, but it might not look the way you’re used to! My approach to accountability is based on making it as fun as possible, so you’re far more likely to snortgiggle when you see a note from me, rather than feeling weighed down.  I don’t do bullying or nagging, though I do know those things can work for SOME people. If being pushed hard to the point of bullying is what truly inspires you and helps you thrive, I may not be your girl (because I don’t believe that kind of pressure is helpful).

  • Yes, with some caveats.

    We’d need to get on the same page in relation to matters of consent and confidentiality for the loved one to whom you’d like to make the gift.

    Please use the ‘ask me anything’ form below to get in touch - because I would love to help.

  • My working hours are generally 9am to 4pm, Melbourne time (Australian Eastern Time).

    To make it easier to navigate, I use an online scheduler called Acuity which allows you to see open spots in my calendar in YOUR timezone (sweet!).

  • While it’s true that many of my clients are solopreneurs and small business owners, I also work with people whose passion and purpose is expressed in other ways.

    My clients have included CEOs of non-profits, politicians, poets, physicians, and even doctoral candidates.

    If you’re not sure, please drop me a note via the ‘ask me anything’ form below and we will figure it out.

Katie

PhD Graduate

I felt an overwhelming paralysis when faced with writing up my doctoral study over quite some time. Janette worked with me to change the narrative. I have moved from feeling physically sick when I looked at a blank page to completely blown away by a new reality in a few short weeks of personal coaching. Not only did Janette help free me from the ‘bindweed’ of the enormous task at hand but I was able to transform a judgemental, negative vibration into a successful process to move forward.  I have moved from a life of “I should” to “I could” practicing new ways of looking at the world. I have been able to unlock the negative vibrations in other parts of my life and continue to use the strategies that Janette has taught me to be excited and empowered every day. Thank you Janette for enveloping me in the possibilities of a new reality!

Are we a match?

Investing in a coach is a big thing, a significant investment of time and energy and focus, so it’s crucial to check that we’ll be a good fit for each other. 

First, please fill out the form below. It’s really helpful to know where you’re at - the good, the bad and the fugly. Nothing you say can shock me (truly!), so spill the tea.

Once I get that and have a chance to read it, I’ll be in touch so we can schedule a conversation. 

I want you to be able to make a powerful decision: a ‘hell yes!’ or a ‘hell no’, whichever is right for you.

I ADORE supporting amazing women to experience thriving, sustainable working lives, no matter where they might be starting out.

And my own joy is not at all dependent on the decision you ultimately make - I point this out for the people reading this who, like me, might have acquired a LOT of people-pleasing crapola in the early days!

So I can promise that when we get together there will be no pushing and no hard sell; I will be there to support you in a sovereign decision-making process, and answer any questions you may have.

Cancellations & Refunds

Your coaching package provides you with a set number of sessions you can book any time within the time frame of your package; and for each session you book, you’ll get a confirmation email with buttons to cancel or reschedule that session. 

You can easily reschedule with the reschedule button, as long as it’s at least 24 hours beforehand. If you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, you’ll need to drop me an email - this is to make sure I have time to get the notification of the change before we meet up!

If you need to cancel a session, the value of that session will be added back to your package, so you don’t lose it and can schedule a replacement when you’re ready.

Refunds

The road you’ll be walking might have rocky patches, and the moment you feel you just HAVE to quit is often the moment before a breakthrough. So I will always do my best to make it safe and easy for you to let me know if you’re unhappy with how things are unfolding, long before there’s any risk of your reaching a ‘wanting-to-quit’ stage.

And a change of circumstances is a very different situation from difficulty with how the coaching work is going, or dissatisfaction with the pace of change or the results you’re getting, so refunds are available and we’ll need to have a conversation first.

Refunds are based on the following principles:

If you have paid in full up front: no refunds are available for work already done, but will be available at a pro rata, proportional arrangement based on how much of the whole package has already passed. For example, if we are 75 days into a 180-day package, and you want to cancel the rest of the package, that’s about 40% completed - so we would negotiate a refund worth approximately 60% of the upfront payment, plus a small administrative fee ($100USD). 

If you’re on a payment plan and want to stop: I stop the rest of the payments from inside my payment platform, so you are not liable for any future payments. 

If you cancel a coaching package for a refund partway through, the following will apply:

  • All future appointments are cancelled

  • The messaging platform we’ve been using will go dormant (you are always welcome to contact me again if you decide you’d like to reopen the coaching relationship)

  • You will have one week (7 days) to download all material relevant to your coaching work from your client account in my cloud storage - for example call recordings, meditations, PDFs and other resources. At the end of one week (7 days), that material will be transferred to an external hard drive for storage and accessing it again will incur a small administrative fee ($100 USD).

Ask me anything

Questions? Awesome! 

Please use this form to ask me anything at all, and I’ll get back to you as soon as humanly possible.

(Note - it might be the middle of the night for me right now, or I may be with a client, so ‘humanly possible’ generally means some time in the next 24 hours)
