I can very much recommend having Carly by your side if you are wanting to change your life but perhaps not quite sure how or fears are getting in the way.

Your work no longer excites you, and hasn’t done for a long time.
You keep thinking, “I can’t do this for another 10 years,” but you don’t see a
clear way out.
You’ve read the books, watched the videos, and tried to figure it out alone,
but you’re still stuck in the same place.
You worry that leaving your career would mean losing income, stability, or
everything you’ve built so far.
You feel torn between wanting more freedom and feeling responsible for
the life you’ve created.

How I left the 9-to-5 and built a lifestyle business
How I left the 9-to-5 and built a
lifestyle business
Faced with the loss of two people close to me, one thing became impossible to ignore.
Life is short. Too short to spend in a career that no longer excites you.
So I walked away from my reliable career in finance with no plan.
I sold my house, and everything I owned.
I bought a van and went travelling around Europe for a while.
Everyone around me said I was crazy.
Even so, I knew my life was misaligned. Something had to change.
I had no plan. No strategy. Nothing. But I needed income. So I tried starting a business. And then another. 7 failed businesses later, I started to see a pattern.
Every idea I tried was built on impulse and guesswork. I put a lot of effort into ideas before establishing whether they were viable.
Through those mistakes, I discovered a much faster way to build a lifestyle business I cared about, one that gave me the freedom to work from anywhere, set my own hours, and have good earning potential.
Instead of chasing the next new business idea, I decided to double down on what I already knew and understood.
My Skills. My experience. What excited me.
That became The Freedom by Design System.
I knew I’d found a better way to build a lifestyle business that was flexible, and I knew that my approach could help others change their lives.
When I started using my framework with others, the transformations were incredible.
I have helped people build creative and unique lifestyle businesses that have enabled them to quit their 9-to-5 and go all in on something that genuinely excites them.
And that genuinely excites me. I created the freedom by design system so that you can design your own freedom to work from anywhere, set your own hours, and have unlimited earning potential.
You don’t need complete clarity.
You don’t need to quit your job overnight.
You don’t need a perfect business idea.
You just need a clear exit strategy and a structured way forward.
And that is exactly what the Freedom by Design System gives you.

I have worked with Carly since November 2025. She has been a real inspiration with her focused but flexible approach to life coaching. She really does get you thinking outside the box. I saw the benefits from day one, which I was amazed by.
Her program is focused but allows the flexibility to come to your own way of thinking. I really am impressed and would recommend it to anyone looking to think outside the box and make positive changes.

I first discovered Carly through her YouTube channel, and I’ve been lucky enough to receive one-to-one advice from her as well. She has dedicated so much time and effort to helping me understand and get to the bottom of what I’m looking for, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Carly’s approach is easy to understand and, most importantly, it makes sense! She has a real gift for breaking things down in a way that feels both accessible and reassuring. If you’re looking for guidance, I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Why this works
Why this works
Why this works
There are a lot of generic claims out there.
Side hustles that can earn you £10k a month
Whilst only working one day a week
Enabling you to quit your job in six months
In reality, it’s not that easy. And you know it, which is why you haven’t done it already.
Scepticism here is smart. That level of income takes time to build and most people can’t afford to lose their income and take risks like that.
The Freedom by Design System works differently.
We start by designing your lifestyle first, so you’re not accidentally building another version of the life you’re trying to leave.
• We get clear on what freedom means to you in the areas of time, location and finances
• We co-create a blueprint for setting up your lifestyle income
• I personally offer one-on-one support as we learn through trial and error what works for you
• We set you up with a clear exit strategy from your 9-to-5
The framework is customised to your personal needs.
Why is this important? Because understanding why you feel stuck, burnt out, and lacking in excitement really matters. If you don’t understand that, how can you be sure you’re not building a lifestyle that will feel just as restrictive?
Self help books and content is just too generic. The chasm between insight and implementation is too big without hands-on guidance.
So, where do you start? There are thousands of conflicting angles out there, from side hustles and investments to becoming full-blown entrepreneurs.
But what if you’re more anti-hustle? What if you just want a lifestyle income that’s enough to fund your travel?
There’s a distinct lack of support and guidance for this.
I built the Freedom by Design System after living and experiencing all of the above. With this system, it takes what feels impossible to achieve and turns it into reality.
I’m living proof of this, as are many others who have been through the programme.

01
1st step
Kick-Off Strategy Call
In our first 90 minutes, we run a structured Freedom Audit. We define what freedom actually means in your life and reverse engineer the level of income and autonomy required to support it. We assess what is draining or misaligned in your current reality and identify where your real leverage sits. You leave with a simplified direction, one focused experiment to run immediately, and a written summary of your next moves.

Still have some questions?
Will this work for me if I’m not sure what I want to do next?
Yes. This programme is designed specifically for people who feel stuck, not for people who already have it all figured out. We start with clarity. You’ll go through structured exercises to uncover what you actually want, not what you think you should want. By the end, you’ll have a clear direction and a realistic plan to move towards it.

Do I need a business idea before I join?
No. You don’t need an idea, a side hustle, or a grand plan. The whole point of the programme is to help you discover the right path for you, and then turn that into something practical and achievable.

How much time do I need to dedicate?
Realistically, it will vary each week. I would suggest a minimum of 5 hours per week. This includes the live sessions.

Do I need to be tech-savvy to make this work?
No. This isn’t a technical programme. Some tech may be required if you wish to set up an online business, but even this can be done in a straightforward and low tech manner.

Is this only for people who want to start a business?
Not at all. Some people join because they want to build something of their own. Others just want a career they actually enjoy, more freedom, or a lifestyle change. The programme is about designing a life that fits you, not pushing everyone into entrepreneurship.

What if I join and decide it’s not right for me?
If you come in, engage with the process, and genuinely feel it isn’t a good fit, we’ll have an honest conversation about it. The aim is to help the right people, not trap anyone in something that doesn’t serve them.

Is this therapy or mindset coaching?
Neither. While there is mindset work involved, this programme is primarily practical mentoring and guidance. It’s focused on helping you design a clear direction, make confident decisions, and take real-world action, not on therapy or emotional processing.

You didn’t land on this page by accident.
You’re here because part of you knows something needs to change. You can keep doing what you’ve been doing, hoping things eventually feel clearer and easier.
Or you can choose to design the next chapter of your life on purpose.
The question isn’t whether you can afford to take this step.
It’s whether you can afford to stay where you are.
Every month that passes without a plan is another month feeling stuck in the same loop.
You don’t need to have everything worked out.
You just need to be willing to take the first step.
If you’re ready for something different, I’m here to help you make it happen.
Take that first step today.
