Hi, I’m Fiona
I’m an award winning author, psychologist and podcaster. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with thousands of successful people. And here’s what I know for certain: no amount of money, status, followers, or job titles will make you feel whole.
Real fulfillment isn’t about ‘things’; it’s about reconnecting with yourself, forming deep bonds with others, and finding your place in the world around you.
I’ve helped thousands of people tap into this truth and find real meaning, and I’d like to help you do the same. I created the Life Connected™ framework to blend psychology, the latest science, and timeless wisdom so you can discover what truly matters—for yourself and your life.

Imagine you’re trying to master a new skill, whether it’s a sport, a musical instrument, or a professional task. You cannot do this without seeing another person do the same (even if this is through imaging that task through translating a description). The neuroscience of this is described in Fiona’s book Mirror Thinking. Mirror neurons in your brain activate when you observe someone else performing that skill, helping you internalize and replicate their actions. We do not learn in isolation of others. By combining this understanding with other psychological principles taught in Life Connected, you can dramatically enhance your learning process, leading to better performance and quicker mastery of new skills.

Building strong, meaningful relationships is crucial for personal and professional success. The neuroscience of this is described in Fiona’s book Mirror Thinking. Mirror neurons in your brain play a key role in empathy, allowing you to understand and resonate with others' emotions and intentions. By combining this understanding with other psychological principles taught in Life Connected you can significantly enhance your interpersonal skills. For instance, by being more aware of how your actions and emotions are mirrored by others, you can improve your communication and reduce misunderstandings. This can help you connect more deeply with friends, family, and colleagues, fostering stronger, more supportive relationships.

Your overall well-being is closely tied to your social interactions and emotional health. The neuroscience of this is described in Fiona’s book Mirror Thinking. Mirror neurons in your brain allow you to empathize and bond with others, which is essential for emotional support and a sense of belonging. By combining this understanding with other psychological principles taught in Life Connected, you can enhance your emotional resilience and well-being. Recognizing how your emotional states can influence and be influenced by others can help you create a more positive social environment. This can reduce feelings of isolation, increase your life satisfaction, and promote a healthier, happier life.
Fiona created the Life Connected™ framework to blend psychology, the latest science, and timeless wisdom so you can discover what truly matters—for yourself and your life.
You see we don’t exist in isolation. We are all part of a dynamic social ecosystem (explained in Fiona’s book Mirror Thinking). So to really improve your life you need to not only understand yourself but also to understand how to build meaningful relationships and navigate the broader social context. This is the essence of Life Connected™: your connection to yourself, others and our world.
Whether your goal is achieving optimal growth for peak performance, stronger relationships, or simply living a healthier and more fulfilling life, through Life Connected™ we provide you with the tools and insights to turn that vision into reality.

As featured in
The Neuroscience
We learn about ourselves and others through what’s known as ‘social and emotional learning’. Most of this takes place in the brain’s Mirror System. This system helps us pick up on and reflect the actions, emotions, and behaviors of those around us, shaping how we connect and grow.
Building on the neuroscience, explored in Fiona’s book Mirror Thinking, and combining it with applied psychology and over two decades of real-world experience, we offer a unique way to help you uncover what Life Connected™ truly means to you. Life Connected™ Connecting better with yourself, with others and with the world.
Easier said than done, a note from Fiona
These are my daughters, two of the most precious people in my life. I know from personal experience that with the pace of life and the pressures we all face, trying new approaches and even connecting with loved ones like family can be easier said than done. That's why we focus on providing practical advice—things you can actually do. We help you find what works for you and how to seek support from someone you trust. Despite what society says, it's almost impossible to grow, achieve or navigate challenges alone.
We need to live Life Connected™ to ourselves, to others and to our world in order to really thrive.
