My name is Summer and I am a positive psychology coach for creative, growth minded women & female entrepreneurs.

I am on mission to empower, impact and inspire as many women, female entrepreneurs and leaders as I can across the globe, through coaching and positive psychology.

Coaching with science & soul

Your Zen Life’s purpose is to support and teach women what it is they need to create & sustain their best, happiest, most fulfilled life and business, through aligned coaching & positive psychology.

It is a place you get the opportunity to understand and step into your latest, greatest, authentic version and thrive.

My coaching is rooted in science and yet also held deeply within intuition and my great belief in the power of the feminine and the power you ALREADY hold.

I want you to have the knowledge and tools to uncover your inner brilliance, so you never have to question your next best route to happiness again.

My journey into positive psychology

After several huge pivotal moments in my own life from the passing of my mum in 2007, to questioning every ounce of my identity and who I was when my first son was born in 2010, then leaving a 15-year career in theatre and television production, I was thrown headfirst into my first conscious journey of self-discovery.

Who was I at this new age and stage of my life? What made me happy and what did I want? I wasn’t sure and I didn’t know for a very long time. I suffered acute anxiety along the way and my confidence and self-esteem was definitely not in a very good place. I felt pretty lost.

Over the coming years, I started to realise the importance of reassessing our newest self at each different stage of our lives, in order to understand what we need to achieve our own happiness, positive life satisfaction, understand our purpose and all that we need to thrive.

New beginnings

Through all of this, Your Zen Life was born in 2017

Despite the fact I wasn’t yet sure what it was going to be, I wanted to create the place that I needed those few years before and couldn’t find. 

Someone and somewhere, with the knowledge and the tools that would take me by the hand and encourage, inspire, hold space and provide a place for me to embrace this newest BEST version of me, her life and all that she had to offer to the world personally and professionally. Somewhere I was allowed to uncover all that I was and put my happiness, goals and wellbeing at the very top of the list.

You can thrive

  • Ever since I first met Summer at the start of the year, something about her energy and approach to life really clicked with me. Summer has this amazing positive aura about her, and after following her journey for a while, I just knew she was the right person to work with. Our time together was absolutely brilliant.

  • I spent this rainy Thursday with Summer Bradshaw on a 1:1 coaching day and I must say, it has been quite transformational. Today has lit my fire. I feel a new sense of self and have reflected on what I positively bring to so many brands when we work together.

  • Words don’t really express the impact of my coaching days with Summer. I was feeling demotivated and lost before I started. ‘Summer’s approach to coaching is thought provoking, empathetic, fun and real. I laughed and cried throughout the three days with her. It was a perfect mix and exactly what I needed.
