I’m Diwa and I am a Purpose Coach. I help high-achieving women who look successful on paper but feel secretly unfulfilled inside to realign their careers with who they truly are so that can live with more purpose, authenticity and joy.


More than 10 years ago, I left an unfulfilling corporate career that I had spent decades building and ‘check-boxing’. I had ‘the’ salary, job title, regional leadership, impactful results, recognition and yet, I felt empty inside, uninspired and I dreaded each day which felt more like performance rather than passion.

After hitting a deeply frustrated low at work, I took a three month sabbatical and sought out a research fellowship position with an NGO specialising in micro-finance and education for underprivileged children in Indonesia.
At the time, I thought giving back to others, would help me find my purpose and joy in my own career again.

I was wrong. Being back at work made my discontentment even stronger.

Fast forward and I found myself dreaming about writing a children’s book. But as much as the thought lit me up, I doubted myself, felt the fear and shoved my dream away.

But the Universe has a funny way of not letting what’s intended for you pass you by - if you’re wiling to look and learn the lessons. I ended up writing my story and it was published! The act of courage it took to write my book propelled me forward over the next ten years as I built an unconventional career path guided by what felt truly purposeful and aligned to me.

I became a breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, started a mala necklace jewellery brand and trained in Reiki, psychotherapy and behaviour and coaching. I realigned my career to feel more purposeful and authentic to what mattered to ME.

Now, I help other high-achieving women do the same, because I know just how scary following a dream, ‘disrupting’ your career, deciding to ‘do or perform less’ can feel. And I want you to know that everything you feel is valid. And you deserve your dreams.
