One of the questions I've been asked most since sharing my announcement is:

"So what actually changes?"

The answer is surprisingly simple.

The structure around me is changing.

The heart behind my work isn't.

The people-first approach that Grounded HR was built on remains.

The relationships I've built with clients remain.

The practical, calm and human approach to HR remains.

The HR Link remains.

The industries I support remain.

The incredible referral and collaboration partnerships I've built with accountants, bookkeepers, VAs, HR consultants, recruiters and other specialists remain.

What is changing is the support around me.

I'll be part of a larger team with broader expertise, stronger infrastructure and more capacity to support the businesses I work with.

For clients, that means access to a more connected support ecosystem while still receiving the same personalised HR guidance they've come to know and trust.

Grounded HR isn't disappearing.

It's evolving.

And while the logo on the door may change, the values, relationships and people-first support at the centre of everything I do remain exactly the same ๐Ÿค

Thank you for all the kind messages, encouragement and support this week. It has meant more than you know.

Over the last two years, Grounded HR and My Business Keeper have worked closely together behind the scenes, supporting shared clients and collaborating on complex business challenges.

What became obvious was that most business issues aren't just HR issues.

They're often connected to leadership, compliance, systems, finances, growth, or strategy.

And when your advisors work together, the outcomes are better.

You spend less time trying to connect the dots.

You receive more consistent advice.

Problems are solved faster.

And you have access to a broader network of expertise when you need it.

That's why this move made sense.

It allows me to continue delivering the same people-first HR support you've always known me for, while being part of a larger support ecosystem designed to help small businesses navigate the realities of growth with greater confidence.

The relationships, values and support that sit at the heart of Grounded HR aren't changing.

What is changing is the strength of the team around me and the breadth of support available to the businesses I work with.

For me, that's the real opportunity.

Better support for the people and businesses who trust us to help them lead their teams well.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Big news ๐Ÿค

I wanted to share this with you personally because so many of you have been part of the Grounded HR journey.

After a lot of reflection over the last few months, I'm excited to officially share that from 1 July 2026, I'll be joining My Business Keeper as their Head of HR and part of the leadership team.

This isn't a sudden decision or a brand-new relationship. Grounded HR and My Business Keeper have worked closely together behind the scenes for more than two years as professional partners, and over that time it became incredibly clear that we shared the same values and vision for supporting small businesses.

One of the biggest things I've realised recently is that sustainable businesses need support systems. The people leading those businesses need them too.

This next step allows me to continue delivering the people-first HR support I'm so passionate about, while building stronger infrastructure, support and capacity around both myself and the businesses I work with.

Most importantly, I want to reassure you that Grounded HR isn't disappearing.

Everything you've loved about Grounded HR โ€” the relationships, the conversations, the people-first approach, the support and the heart behind it โ€” is simply relocating into a bigger ecosystem of support.

To me, this feels less like an ending and more like the natural next chapter of a journey that's been evolving for quite some time.

Thank you for trusting me, supporting Grounded HR and being part of this journey. I genuinely couldn't have done it without you.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue this work in a way that feels deeply aligned with where both Grounded HR and I are heading.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Grounded HR to this point ๐Ÿค

I think for a long time I believed strong leadership meant holding everything together on your own.

Being available constantly.
Doing more.
Carrying more.
Proving yourself through output.

But Iโ€™ve been reflecting on how much life changes as we grow.
Priorities shift.
Kids grow up.
Parents get older.

And suddenly success starts looking a little different.

I donโ€™t want to build a business that only works if I hold everything alone anymore.

I want to build something collaborative.
Supported.
Sustainable.
Human.
Not smaller impactโ€ฆ
Just a healthier way of creating it.

I think the type of business leader I want to become now is someone who creates impact with support around her โ€” not at the expense of herself.

That feels like a really important shift

Has your definition of success or leadership changed over the years?

Over the last few months, Iโ€™ve been reflecting deeply on what small businesses actually need to thrive long-term.
Not quick fixes.
Not disconnected advice.
Not more overwhelm.

The businesses that grow sustainably usually have something really important in common: their support systems work together.

HR conversations connect to leadership. Leadership connects to finances. Finances connect to stress levels and decision-making. Systems connect to sustainability.

I think the future of business support is far more collaborative, connected and human than it has been in the past โ€” and that vision feels really aligned for me right now.

Whatโ€™s one thing you think small businesses need more of right now?

25/05/2026

Over the last few months, Iโ€™ve been reflecting deeply on the way small businesses are supported.

Because after years of working alongside business leaders, one thing has become really clear to me:

Most business challenges donโ€™t happen in isolation.
- A HR issue impacts operations.
- Operational pressure impacts finances.
- Financial stress impacts leadership and decision making.
- Leadership impacts culture and retention.

Yet so many businesses are expected to navigate these things separately, often while carrying the pressure of holding everything together themselves.

The businesses that tend to thrive long-term arenโ€™t usually the ones doing everything perfectly โ€” theyโ€™re the ones with connected support around them.

Support that communicates.
Support that understands the bigger picture.
Support that helps leaders feel less alone.

I think the future of business support looks far more collaborative, connected and human than it has in the pastโ€ฆ and honestly, that vision feels really aligned for me right now.

Whatโ€™s one area of business support you wish worked more seamlessly together?

I spend my days helping businesses create sustainable workplaces.
Clear systems. Healthy boundaries. Support structures. People-first leadership.

But somewhere along the way, I realised I wasnโ€™t fully giving myself the same support.

I was carrying too much alone.
And I think a lot of business owners quietly do the same.

We become the problem-solvers.
The support person.
The one everyone comes to.

But sustainable businesses arenโ€™t built by carrying everything on your own.
Theyโ€™re built with systems, support, and people around you who help hold the weight.

And Iโ€™m learning that sustainable leadership works the same way.

Big things are growing quietly behind the scenes โ€” and this next season feels deeply aligned with the kind of business (and life) I want to build ๐Ÿค

18/05/2026

Iโ€™ve been a little quieter on here latelyโ€ฆ and honestly, itโ€™s been intentional. The start of this year has involved a lot of reflection for me โ€” personally, professionally, and as a business owner.

I donโ€™t have every answer yet, but I know Iโ€™m stepping into a new season โ€” one that feels calmer, more aligned and more supported. And honestly? Iโ€™m really excited about!

Most performance problems arenโ€™t permanent.

Theyโ€™re signals.

Signals that expectations arenโ€™t clear.
That support might be missing.
Or that something needs to be addressed earlier.

But when these situations are avoided, they donโ€™t resolve themselves โ€” they grow.

The good news?

When you approach performance with structure, clarity, and consistency, most issues are absolutely fixable.

Thatโ€™s exactly what I break down in Episode 15 of The HR Link.

Because performance management isnโ€™t about catching people out โ€” itโ€™s about helping them succeed.





21/04/2026

Performance management has a reputation for being uncomfortable.

But itโ€™s not meant to feel like confrontation.

Itโ€™s meant to create clarity.

Clarity around expectations.
Clarity around behaviour.
Clarity around what good looks like moving forward.

When these conversations happen early and regularly, they donโ€™t feel heavy โ€” they feel like part of everyday leadership.

In Episode 15 of The HR Link, I share how shifting your mindset from confrontation to clarity changes everything.

Because the earlier the conversation happens, the easier it is for everyone involved.
