Meet Alex...
"I wish I had a me when I was 14"
Since January 2024 I have worked with hundreds of girls through one to one support, group sessions, workshops and in schools. This is what I was made to do. Nothing makes me feel more aligned than witnessing my clients transformations.
My mission is to continue the work I do globally, impact thousands, to teach the things they just aren’t taught at school.
Why are we teaching the solar system but not the emotional system? Why are we teaching pythagoras but not the power of our thoughts? This stuff is life changing
Our girls deserve this, they need this, in a world that is built to tear us down they need to know how to not be knocked over, how to stand
Let me take you back…
Up until the age of 12 I was the “perfect” child. Never caused any problems, was respectful, loved school, gymnastics, being with my family and was full of life.
The summer that I moved into year nine was like a switch had been flicked. I changed my entire identity, the way I dressed, my feelings towards my family and my attitude to life. I became rude, unmotivated, distant and angry at the world.
School was just for socialising, I didn’t do any work, I was disrespectful and thought everyone was out to get me. Hanging out with older teenagers, coming home late, not respecting my Mums boundaries, not that she had many as she eventually gave up.
But behind this “angry, gothic, rebellious” teenager was a girl who was lost, struggling with self esteem and anxious about the path she had found herself on, which felt so huge she had no idea how to make her way back.
I had shut down, despite being referred to counselling I didn’t trust anyone enough to open up, and if I did, I had no idea what I wanted to say because everything felt like such a mess. I didn’t know what the words or feelings were.
I left school with minimal failed GCSE’s and went straight into work. Thankfully over the years I slowly matured and grew out of the rebellious, angry goth kid. I had always done gymnastics and cheerleading and loved coaching others.
Fast forwarding the years, all of my jobs have been child and adolescent focused and I thrive off building those relationships with young people and making an impact on their days, weeks and lives. Without realising I was always coaching or mentoring them, I just didn’t know it was a thing.
During the crazy year of 2020, locked in my house was where I discovered the world of self development, law of attraction and manifestation. It blew my mind that there was another way of living. WHAT? There were ways of me being in control of my thoughts, emotions, actions and reality… this is crazy, why has no one taught me this stuff before?
Through absorbing every book, podcast, masterclass, youtube video and more I rewired my brain from pessimistic, lethargic and unmotivated to grateful, driven, in control and excited for life. I knew that I had to share this with the world.
My last employed job was working in a city secondary school as a Behaviour Coach supporting teens who were hard to reach and displayed challenging behaviour. I loved it, being in a school is a special experience and I learnt so much from my time there. But what I came to discover was there were SO many girls who were sad. Sad girls everywhere, girls who didn’t respect themself, girls who were constantly in girl and boy drama, girls who were addicted to their phones but hated it, girls who felt so lost inside themself that their behaviour was spiralling. Girls like me.
From my own journey and learnings I knew that I could make an impact on so many girls lives. Listen to them, teach the tools, hold them accountable, celebrate their wins, support their struggles and they will thrive.
And that…. is where The Empowered Girl was born!
