The Spark Lab
Reignite your spark.
Reconnect with yourself.
Rewrite your story
For the woman who holds everything together — but knows something within her is ready for more. It’s time to reconnect, reset, and rediscover the woman you truly are.
"I've lost my spark".
Why I created The Spark Lab
For more than 25 years I worked in the legal profession, including over a decade as a Coroner investigating sudden and unexpected deaths. My work involved writing the final chapters of lives that had ended too soon — stories filled with dreams unfinished and moments never lived. That experience changed me. It taught me the importance of living in the present moment.
Despite working in a career I once loved, I eventually found myself burnt out, disconnected and running on empty. On the outside I looked successful and capable, but inside I knew I was no longer living in alignment with who I truly was.
So I made a bold decision to step away from the law and follow a different path — one helping midlife women reconnect with themselves and reclaim the spark they thought they had lost.
Today, through Lit Within and programs like The Spark Lab, I support women who feel exhausted, stuck or invisible to rediscover their inner wisdom, rebuild their confidence and create a life that feels deeply alive.
Midlife is an opportunity to reset. And you get to decide how your story unfolds.
BOOK IN A CHAT
- You’re a capable, intelligent woman who others rely on — but lately you feel like you’re running on empty.
- You’ve built a successful career, yet you sometimes wonder “Is this really the life I want moving forward?”
- You spend most of your time meeting the needs of everyone else — work, family, clients, colleagues, and struggle to find space for yourself.
- You feel the quiet pull for something more meaningful, aligned, or energising, but you’re not quite sure what that looks like yet.
- You’ve lost some of the confidence, clarity or spark you once had.
- You’re tired of pushing through exhaustion and want to reconnect with a deeper sense of vitality and purpose.
- You want to feel more like yourself again — not just the role you play in everyone else’s lives.
- You’re ready to pause, reflect, and intentionally shape what the next chapter of your life and career could look like.
- And most importantly, you’re willing to invest in yourself — because you know that when you change, everything around you begins to change too.
This program is for you if...
- You woke up with clarity and energy instead of exhaustion.
- You felt confident making decisions about your future instead of second-guessing yourself.
- You stopped carrying the emotional weight of everything and everyone.
- You felt connected to who you are again — beyond your career, responsibilities and roles.
- You moved into the next chapter of your life with purpose, confidence and renewed spark.

What past participants have said
The idea “to look for glimmers throughout your day”... provided a framework to shift and reframe.
Jac Cottee,
Professional women have been pitched against each other for often a small number of positions. The spark lab shifted that paradigm to an arena of support, guidance and enlightenment. The idea “to look for glimmers throughout your day” helped during periods of stress it wasn’t easy but it provided a framework to shift and reframe. Grateful for the connection and insight. Jac Cottee
You’re fucking amazing! I remember seeing and reading your post thinking I wish I was as tough as her - I’m not in the habit of connecting with people I have never met and then DM them.
I was... at a crossroads with no solutions, a feeling of no identity, sense of self or understanding of who I was anymore ...
Jacquie D
The “Spark Lab” is such an original and genius concept. I was so grateful it came along just when I needed it during a very challenging period in my life where all my different worlds were colliding.
I was the mass casualty in the middle, at a crossroads with no solutions, a feeling of no identity, sense of self or understanding of who I was anymore – I was empty – a shell with nothing inside. Totally stripped of my own identity, personality, values, wants and needs due to a sustained period of high-pressure work commitments, family, caring and life pressures and as a member of the sandwich generation everything hit so hard, and I was a complete shell of my former self.
Jacqui, through her Spark Lab, forces you to look inwards and find the power and drive that exists deep down inside you and reignites the glimmers that make you who you are. Without this foundation and inner light – you can’t function in any aspect of life well, regardless of your skills, capabilities and resilience you may have been able to rely on in your younger years.
I was so honoured to meet a group of like-minded, fierce and capable women, all with unique experiences and life stories. Together we supported each other to face hard truths with courage and genuine hope, to make real decisions for our current and future selves.
Thank you so much for this gift. I now Sparkle again. I can feel it and others can see it – in amongst the craziness – I know what I want and that experiencing a joyful, purposeful life matters.”
Jacqui’s warmth, insight, and openness helped us reignite a ‘spark’.
Patries,
Jacqui has been amazing in creating a supportive and inspiring space where women from different walks of life could come together and connect through shared experiences. Jacqui is not afraid of asking the hard questions; yet, through meaningful discussions and a trusting environment each session encouraged deeper understanding of ourselves and one another.
Jacqui’s warmth, insight, and openness helped us uncover new perspectives, reignite a ‘spark’ and – maybe most importantly – the courage to step forward.
The experience has been both grounding and empowering – a true gift!
I can do this!

My biggest takeaways from The Spark Lab:
Finding and anchoring to my inner peace.
Love really is at the core of everything. The more I focus on this truth, the more flow appears in my life and relationships, even difficult ones, feel easier.
Connecting with other women has made me realise we all face deep challenges. A burden shared is a burden halved.
And finally, when self-doubt or anxiety creeps in I hear in my head: "I can do this!”
