Life doesn't always go to plan. Sometimes it changes in ways we never expected, and we're left working out what comes next.
I'm Joanne Kimberley. Through my personal story, mentoring, writing, speaking and travels, I explore what it means to navigate change, rethink the life you've built and discover what might be possible next.
A different chapter
Not every change is one we choose.
Sometimes circumstances shift around us. Sometimes the life we've built simply stops fitting. And sometimes we reach a point where carrying on as we are just isn't possible any more.
I've stood at that crossroads. I don't believe everything happens for a reason, and I don't think you need to have it all figured out before you take a step. What I do believe — from experience rather than a slogan — is that a different chapter is possible, even when you didn't choose what brought you to it.
It's never too late to start again.
Read my storyI know what it feels like when nobody around you understands you.
You don't have to do it alone.
Mentoring
“What comes next for me?”
If that question has been sitting with you — after a loss, a change in work or a relationship, or simply the quiet realisation that you've outgrown the life you're living — mentoring is a space to think it through properly.
Not to be told how to live. Not to be fixed. To make sense of where you are, work out what you actually want and start moving towards it.
The framework behind the mentoring
The Boarding Pass Method™
A five-stage approach I developed from my own experience of unexpected change — a way of travelling from where you are to where you want to be, one stage at a time.

The honest, unfinished account of grief, a breaking point, a closed business, a life packed down to one suitcase — and what happened after. Written as it unfolds.

Kind words & collaborations
Joanne was a pleasure to host at Kandooma Resort Maldives. She showed up with genuine enthusiasm, threw herself into every activity, and delivered exactly what we discussed. Her content beautifully captured the experience in her own way and we would happily recommend her to any property looking for an authentic creator.
Joanne was an absolute delight to host during our stay with us. She brings a genuine authenticity to what she does, it never felt like she was simply creating content for work, but rather sharing experiences she truly connected with and believed in. She paid exceptional attention to detail, understood exactly what was needed and delivered everything professionally on time. This was Joanne's second stay with us and we are certain it will not be the last and look forward to hosting her again in the future.
