Jac walked away from a high-profile career as Victoria’s Deputy State Coroner, trading prestige for peace. After rest, yoga, and a lot of soul-searching, she rebuilt her life from the inside out. Now a coach for high-performing women in midlife through her empowerment business Lit Within, she helps others lead with both power and softness.

With deep empathy and insight, Jac honours the strength it takes for women to transform. She’s proof that sometimes, finding yourself means burning it all down first.

She lives in Melbourne with her two children and a very patient husband.

Kylie writes dark, twisty fiction that peels back the glossy surface of ordinary lives. 

A published author and long-time freelance writer, her work has appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Life and other major outlets over the past 20 years.

A natural storyteller and sought-after speaker, Kylie has featured on countless panels and podcasts, bringing warmth, wit, and sharp insight to every conversation.

She lives in Melbourne with her four kids and just the one husband (who endures her daily rants about the patriarchy).
