Feeling Stuck, Unsure, or
Just Done With Pretending?
You're not alone
And you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
➤ Overthinking every decision, doubting yourself, or stuck in comparison mode?
➤ Lacking direction, feeling behind, or unsure how to even get started?
➤ Struggling with low motivation, procrastination, or people-pleasing?
➤ Hiding your real feelings, avoiding challenges, or afraid to speak up?
➤ Wondering if you should drop out of uni, change courses, or if you'll ever find a career that fits?
➤ Drained by anxiety, self-doubt, or the pressure to "have it all together"?
➤ Unsure how to look for a job, what to say, or how to articulate your value?
If any of that sounds familiar, this is your space. 💚

Why Mint Mates?
I started Mint Mates because I know firsthand how tough it can be to navigate the messy in-between years — when you want to feel confident and clear, but everything feels overwhelming or uncertain.
With 15+ years across youth mentoring, mental health, corporate training, HR, recruitment, and coaching — including international experience in Hong Kong, Japan, and New York — I bring a perspective that's anything but textbook.
What makes this different:
- Formal training in mental health and wellbeing, with hands-on experience working with leading Australian youth mental health organisations including Headspace, Yalari, and batyr
- Global business experience across various industry sectors including recruitment & executive search
- I speak your language — not too clinical, not corporate, just real and relatable
- Evidence-based wellbeing tools + practical mentoring and coaching strategies in one place
- I collaborate with other practitioners to make sure you get the best support
"Real talk, no fluff. Tools that actually help you feel better, think clearer, and find direction delivered by someone who gets it."

Yas, 22, Sydney
"Jules has helped me in ways I didn't think possible. I was so reluctant to go as I thought I should be able to sort it out myself, but I'm so glad I did... 2 months later, I can't believe I can feel this way — I am back feeling good about myself. She just makes you feel good about yourself and helps you realise that everything you are going through is normal, but taught me some things I didn't know about myself... calls you on it in a supportive way that makes you want to do the work. So grateful."
Emma, 24, Brisbane
"Working with Jules has honestly been a turning point for me. I almost didn’t reach out because I thought I should be able to figure things out on my own, but I’m so glad I did. Just a couple of months later, I feel like a completely different person — more confident, calmer, and actually excited about where I’m heading. Jules has this way of making you feel really seen and understood, while also gently challenging you to step up and do the work. I’ve learnt so much about myself and the way I think. I’m incredibly grateful for the support."
