Driven by a desire to put her mental health first, Lucy left her job in private equity and started her own business, specialising in financial forecasting.

As her business grew, she found herself facing the same challenges she had tried to escape—long hours, high pressure, and a model that relied entirely on her time and energy. The work was demanding, unsustainable, and left little room for the balance she needed. Burnout was creeping in again, and she knew something had to change.

Lucy restructured her business to focus on work that gave her purpose while allowing for growth and scalability. She shifted away from trading time for money and built a model that was both impactful and sustainable—one that prioritised not just financial success, but well-being too.

Now, alongside helping property investors make smarter financial decisions, Lucy shares what she’s learned about balancing ambition with mental health, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice yourself to build something meaningful.
