All About The Sunday Morning Project (and Me!)
At 29 I had it all mapped out. The wedding, the show home, three dogs, a career climbing steadily through finance. The box of wine arrived at the door every month, on subscription. I had automated the wine.
That was the plan. Until it wasn't.
Fifteen years in oil and gas and defence, usually the only woman in the room, taught me plenty about resilience and almost nothing about what I actually wanted. Most days carried the same quiet thought:
is this it?
So I started making bold moves. I left what was expected of me. I quit drinking in October 2022 and got my Sunday mornings back for the first time in years. I trained as a coach on weekends and annual leave, while still climbing. I applied for the international move nobody expected me to take. I made CFO by 38.
And then, at the top of the ladder I'd spent fifteen years climbing, I decided to leave it, to build something of my own.
I'm divorced. I'm three years sober. I'm moving home to Edinburgh after two years as an expat in Germany. And I am the happiest I have ever been.
Every bit of it came down to some fairly bold moves, and to one strange little habit underneath all of them: at least one hour, every Sunday morning, spent building the life I actually wanted instead of the one I'd accidentally assumed.
Founder, coach, ex-CFO. And still figuring it out, same as you.
I'm Jill. I help high-achieving women make bold moves, one Sunday morning at a time.
Why The Sunday Morning Project
I created The Sunday Morning Project because I believe even the busiest, most successful woman in the room has an hour on a Sunday morning to start building the life she actually wants.
Not a five-year plan. Not a total life overhaul. One hour. One small move. Every Sunday.
Small is the point. Small is what you'll still be doing in December.
Why Invest in Coaching?
You've spent money on the holidays, the hotel rooms with incredible views, the handbag you told yourself would
“go with everything”. You've invested in everything that looks good from the outside. And some of it does feel good.
But you already know that none of it is filling the gap. Isn't it time to invest in what feels extraordinary from the inside?
The women who work with me are not looking for a quick fix. They are incredible women who are ready to stop starting things and never finishing them. Ready to finally build the version of themselves they've always known was possible.
My coaching qualifications include a diploma that is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association for Coaching (AC) , the most respected bodies in the coaching industry.
I am a CIMA-qualified accountant, a CFO and a Positive Psychology coach. My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, lived experience and a complete refusal to let my clients stay small.
I also practise what I preach. I have invested significantly in my own growth: in coaches, mentors and programmes that have challenged me, stretched me and shaped the way I work. I know first-hand what it feels like to be the client in that seat, to make the decision to invest in yourself when it feels uncomfortable and to come out the other side knowing it was the best decision you ever made.
Because you've already invested in everything else.
