Step into the life that's calling you.

Coaching for accomplished women who look successful on the outside but feel quietly stuck inside. It’s time to rediscover what’s next.

Is this you?

The quietly unfulfilled achiever

From the outside, life looks successful and stable. But inside, you feel a subtle pull that something deeper is ready to emerge.

The woman in transition

Life has shifted — through separation, grief, an empty nest, menopause, or another turning point. You’re ready to pause and consciously choose what comes next.

The burned-out high performer

You’ve spent years giving your energy to career, family, and responsibilities. Now you feel the need to step back and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

The constant giver

You’ve devoted so much of yourself to others — partners, children, family, colleagues, and causes. You’re ready to make space for your own needs, desires, and direction.

The woman ready for her second ascent

You feel an inner shift calling you forward. You’re ready to design a life that feels richer, clearer, and beautifully aligned with who you are now.

You may also be...

And beyond these, you may simply feel a quiet knowing that life is ready to open up in a new direction, even if you don’t yet have the words for it.

Working with Donna was both grounding and energising. She helped me gain real clarity around my offering and shared practical insights I could put into action immediately. Her supportive, personable style made the whole process feel spacious and productive. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, effective partnership.

Clarity & Positioning Work

Training with Donna at the Coach Business School was a privilege — being coached by her was even more powerful. Her calm confidence and natural empathy created a space where I felt completely comfortable opening up about a challenge I had been grappling with. She has an incredible ability to ask the right questions, cut through the noise, and guide you toward meaningful clarity and action. Donna’s positivity is contagious, and her integrity and genuine care are evident in everything she does.

Professional Peer & Client

Working with Donna was one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in myself at this stage of my career. After decades of professional success, I knew I wanted my next chapter to be more intentional, but I wasn’t sure how to articulate what that looked like. Donna has a rare ability to combine deep insight with practical guidance. She helped me step back, reconnect with what truly matters to me now, and shape a vision for my next phase that feels both exciting and authentic.

Career and Life direction

Through this work with DBC The Second Ascent, I gained clarity, renewed confidence, and a sense that the most meaningful part of my professional life may still be ahead of me. I would recommend Donna to any accomplished woman who knows she has more to contribute and is ready to redefine success on her own terms.

Deeply personal, absolute clarity on next steps for my best future

I would highly recommend Donna. She is incredibly warm and compassionate, and has a real ability to hold space in a way that makes you feel safe, heard and understood. Her skilful questioning helped me gain clarity and move from feeling stuck to creating a clear plan towards my goal. I left feeling more confident, focused and ready to take action.
