Helping Women & Businesses Thrive

I’m so excited you’re here! I’m Anna Darlington, a certified Life & Business Coach specializing in leadership enablement, personal development, and work-life balance coaching.

My journey into coaching began in 2014 after becoming a mother. I was ambitious, career-driven, and passionate about my work, but motherhood changed everything. I felt overwhelmed, lost, and riddled with Imposter Syndrome. My confidence plummeted, and I started to question whether women could truly “have it all.”

When I returned to work, I was determined to step into leadership while being a present mother—but I quickly realized how difficult it was to maintain the same pace with young children. I battled self-doubt, anxiety, and the pressure of balancing both worlds.

“You can’t have it all,” people said. But I refused to accept that.

Through coaching, mindset work, and self-development, I transformed my own beliefs, reclaimed my confidence, and found a way to lead with balance. That experience led me to create The Happy Mum Project, a coaching program designed specifically for career-driven mothers and mothers in leadership who want to excel professionally without burning out or sacrificing their personal happiness.

At the heart of my work is a deep passion for leadership enablement. I believe that good leaders don’t just succeed—they create an environment where others thrive, too. Whether it’s supporting individuals in stepping into leadership roles, helping teams work better together, or guiding businesses to define a people-first strategy, my mission is always the same: to empower people, teams, and organizations to reach their full potential.

This passion also led me to develop Leading with Balance, a leadership and corporate coaching program designed for businesses and organizations that want to cultivate heart-led leadership and create thriving, people-first workplaces.

Through these two programs—The Happy Mum Project and Leading with Balance—I support both individuals and organizations in creating sustainable success, where career growth and wellbeing go hand in hand.
