Personalised coaching to help you gain clarity, pick up the pieces & create a full, happy life alongside a business that works for you.
Navigating the personal journey of grief can feel overwhelming. Working with me for 1-2-1 support is designed to give you gentle guidance, a listening ear, and practical coping strategies tailored to your unique experience of loss based on my own experiences. Whether you need help managing daily routines, help with navigating getting back to running your business, or creating a path that honours your loved one and your own needs, I’ll help you find clarity when everything feels clouded by grief.
I understand that healing isn’t linear. We will acknowledge where you are and work through guidance for your next steps. Together, we’ll work to help make it all seem less overwhelming, moving forward at a pace that respects your individual process and helps you gradually rediscover meaning and purpose.
About me
Hi, I’m Anne-Marie. I help business owners rebuild after unexpected loss to create fulfilling personal lives alongside a business that works for them.
My story was rewritten on May 7th, 2018, when I discovered my husband had taken his life. In an instant, our family of four became three. I faced hidden debt, no life insurance, and two children (10 and 13) who needed me more than ever.
There were days when I didn’t know how I’d continue; it felt insurmountable. Yet, through resilience, determination to give my boys the best life possible, and support from incredible people, I’ve created a life I couldn’t have imagined back then.
Today, I’ve cleared that debt and raised two remarkable children (now 17 and 20). I’ve found love again, live in a beautiful Dorset farmhouse with sea views, and have another child due to join us soon. I have a successful 6-figure design business producing work for global corporate giants, which has taken me to incredible places. It’s not been an easy path here. There have been many lessons learned along the way. Still, with a large dose of tenacity, coupled at times with some dark humour and an unerring belief I can make it through, I’m here, and it’s been a valuable journey.
Once Upon a Monday exists because I believe that it’s possible for others to find their way through that darkest day to their version of success and happiness with practical advice, systems, and guidance from someone who has experienced her own dark day and found a path through it.
What working with me looks like…
You’ll experience a blend of coaching, mentoring and strategy.
I meet you exactly where you are in your grief journey and tailor our work to your current emotional capacity. I can help you balance business needs with personal healing, navigate work during difficult times, and work through the complex mindset challenges that accompany loss. I understand that grief isn’t something to “overcome”; you already have the inner wisdom to find your path forward.
Here’s how we will work together:
Step 1: I’ll send you a pre-coaching questionnaire for you to complete to tell me about your goals for your life and business.
Step 2: During our first session, we’ll create a gentle plan for the time we work together that honours your grief process. We’ll identify what feels manageable and design our approach accordingly. There’s abundant flexibility because grief has its own timeline, and we’ll adapt as needed. I’ll hold space for you through difficult anniversaries, unexpected grief surges, or whatever emerges.
Step 3: After each session, I’ll provide clear notes and small, achievable actions so you know what to focus on between sessions. I also offer support between sessions, so you’re never alone when emotions arise or decisions feel overwhelming.
Everyone’s experience of loss, business needs, and vision for rebuilding is deeply personal, which is why an individualised approach is so effective. We work at your pace on what matters most to you.
