It starts with the dream

Are you ready for your brand new era?

I help heart-led, introverted women step into their brand new era of boldness—no more hiding, shrinking, or second-guessing. It’s time to play a bigger game, own your God-given message, and show up fully expressed.

You were made to shine, serve, and create impact and income without fear or apology. Through faith, mindset work, and creative strategy, I’ll help you break free from doubt, release past limitations, partner with Father, Son and Holy Spirit to walk in the fullness of what God has for you.

Welcome to my corner of the world where we explore neuroscience, faith, lifestyle design and all thing’s in-between so you can walk in your God given purpose, identity and dreams!

Hi I’m Chisomo

A multipassionate wife, mum, Christian, Designer, Creative mentor and Certified Life coach. 

I help introverted, creative "good girls" create their dream lives by sharing their God given gifts, message and story to create income and eternal impact!

I empower heart-led, creative ‘good girls’ to step off the beaten path and pick their own adventure. Through transformative courses, coaching, and faith-based inner healing, I help women take their negative thoughts captive, release fear and judgment, and step into their God-given purpose with freedom.

Random stuff about me: I’m addicted to Häagen-Dazs Pralines and cream, intrigued by alternative history & ancient mysteries (how did they build the pyramids?) and obsessed with colourful bohemian interiors

Ready to craft your dreams?

I empower heart led, creative 'good girls' to step off the 'beaten path' and pick their own god breathed adventure

Born in Zambia and raised in the UK, I know what it’s like to feel like an outsider, to silence yourself, and to wrestle with self-doubt. I spent years as a ‘good girl’—a people-pleaser with high expectations, afraid of making mistakes. My journey took me from a dream career as a fashion designer to motherhood, entrepreneurship, and ultimately, faith-led coaching. Through postpartum depression, career uncertainty, and inner healing, I learned we don’t just have to cope with life’s struggles—we can transform them.

Now, I empower heart-led, creative ‘good girls’ to jump off the expected path and say yes to the adventure God designed just for them. Through transformative courses, coaching, and faith-based inner healing, I help women take their negative thoughts captive, release fear and judgment, and step into their God-given purpose with freedom.

My clients? They are quiet women with a loud message. They’ve been afraid to use their voices—silenced by life’s experiences or their own doubts—but they know there’s more for them. They want to shine, serve, and share their gifts and stories to create impact and income—to the glory of God.

Before you jump in, I just want you to know you are a beautiful masterpiece, made in the image of God who has already given you everything you need for this life!

Ready to step into your God given identity, purpose and dreams?

Do you dream of more for

your life?

Are you fedup of feeling, stuck and unmotivated … like you’ve lost your dreams?

or perhaps you have a dream but you need some inspiration, community or support to make it a reality?

Maybe you’ve gone through a big life change or crisis and don’t know who you are anymore.

Possibly you’re the ‘good girl’, got top grades, followed the path, climbed the ladder, taking care of everything and everyone but you’re about to break and those goals you’ve achieved just haven’t felt as good as you expected.

You feel disconnected and have lost your zest for life…

Chisomo Life coach for women facing a midlife crisis

Deep down you…

Aspire to live freely, without fear of  judgement

Show up fully in your life

Want to feel happier and more confident in your skin and feel more confident in the skin you’re in

Yearn to express the true you on the inside on the outside too

Want to live more boldly

Fed up of living life to please others

Want work that’s meaningful

Desire quality time with your family

Wish for a pace of life that supports your health and wellbeing

Crave calm and a sense of ease

Want to stop hiding and own your life

You’re fed up of putting your self at the bottom of the to do list and your dreams and goals on the ‘one day’ list

Have that feeling that there must be more to life than what you’re currently experiencing

Long to share your gifts but feel so worried about what others will think or doubt your art is any good

Desire to be more creative in your day to day life

Yearn to express the true you on the inside on the outside too

Long for a beautiful and inspiring environment

 

You see other women in happy relationships, doing meaningful work that lights them up, supported in the pursuits.

They’re styling their homes and themselves as they’d like,  sharing their stories and gifts and making a difference in the world and you feel like that could never be you.

But this isn’t true!

You are worthy and so, so capable of having the same and more.

How do I know it’s possible for you? Because about 8 years ago I was where you are now..

Bit by bit…

My life began to change.

Today it looks so different and it’s so much more than I could have hoped, dreamt or imagined.

A few years in I looked back at my life and couldn’t believe how far I’d come inspite of the anxious thoughts, inspite of still experiencing fear and self doubt and inspite of having health issues and a busy life.

I was overcoming limiting beliefs and healing those inner wounds…

This includes you

I wanted EVERY woman to know she is capable of so much more than she thinks, to know she is worthy and has value, to believe her dreams are worth fighting for, to make self care a lifestyle, for her to nourish herself mind, body, spirit and soul as she pursues her hearts desires.

So I started this business where I share the tools, exercises and experiences that helped me create a vision for my life, grow my mindset, step out of my comfort zone and move forward in the face of fear, self doubt or judgment.

 

I’ll show you how to create a dream for your life, gain clarity, plan and execute.

Feeling held back with releasing your faith based program/coaching/training because you feel you need to be responsible for getting your clients results?

We need to remember it's not our talents and gifts that's equipping us, it's God and ultimately it's his responsibility to change and heal hearts and minds.

Our responsibility is to simply do as he's asked.

1 Corinthians 3:6-9 reminds us we plant a seed, someone else may water it but God makes it grow....and the one who plants and the one who waters has one purpose, they will each be rewarded to their own labour.

I pray that takes the heavy burden off you and releases you to share your God breathed message today 🙏🏼

Have you ever felt you couldn't share your message or put that program or workshop out because you didn't feel like the "finished article"? 

This is such a common roadblock to walking out your God given purpose. 

Because you feel it, doesn't mean it has to stop you.

1. We don't need to be the finished article, only Jesus is perfect. Our journey of practising our healing and becoming is for life. We don't need to have arrived we just need to walk in obedience.

2. God will use us, wherever we are and however we are. In our weakness he is made strong, so we don't need to serve from a place of being perfect but from a place of surrender to God and His will.

3. God's grace is enough. He is sufficient, if he has put a message in your heart to share, trust it and ask for his grace and wisdom as you do. James 1:5 says he gives wisdom generously to those who ask.

4. You only need to be a few steps ahead of those you serve. Having someone who's just walked through the trenches is so valuable to the person still in it. We become a picture of hope and what's possible without making them feel like it's unattainable because we're so ahead that we feel unreliable to them.

Which of those gave you the reminder you needed today to take that next step? What would you add?

So many of us are still living by rules we didn’t choose—beliefs we picked up in childhood that quietly shape how we show up, dream, and make decisions. 

In this post, I’m exploring the messages we’ve outgrown and how to rewrite them so we can live more freely, creatively, and on purpose.As a coach, I often hear women echo childhood messages that still shape their lives today. Phrases like:

👉 “If you can’t do it perfectly, don’t do it at all.”
👉 “I want doesn’t get.”
👉 “Be seen and not heard.”
👉 “You can’t pay the bills with art.”

These inherited beliefs may have come from well-meaning adults or cultural norms—but when we hold them up to the light of the lives we want to lead—creative, purpose-driven, and free—they can quietly hold us back.

In this episode, we're talking about the rules we’ve outgrown, and asking the powerful question:

What rules need breaking so we can finally move forward?

Watch or listen below and come tell me what childhood beliefs you've left behind to step into your God given identity and calling?
