Hi!
I'm Renata Burrows
A Career Transition Coach for Women.
I specifically help midlife women confidently step into a more aligned career so they can finally do inspiring work that reflects who they are now.
What I do
I'm a coach, entrepreneur, scientist-at-heart and a mum of twin girls, who believes that midlife is the time when something profound shifts in women.
​
You start to want more - more truth, more alignment, more you. You feel ready for change, ready to take up space, ready to put yourself first and ready to create the career and life that reflect who you are now… but you find it difficult to fully step into this version of you.​
​
In my coaching practice, I guide ambitious women who made the decision to step into a new career but feel stuck overthinking their next move. They may already started moving into exciting new work but struggle to take consistent action or feel overwhelmed, uncertain or emotionally drained by the transition process.
​
At the core of my coaching, I help women expand into the next version of themselves with confidence.
​
I know it's possible because I've lived it and I've helped others do the same.
Testimonial
"Using Renata's reflection questions I was able to look back at my life and see how many challenges I have already overcome, now seeing them as a natural part of my life. This helped me to realise what personal qualities and values played a role in overcoming those challenges. I was able to commit to using the same qualities and values for any future challenges that my life has to offer."

My Journey
I grew up in Hungary, and in my late twenties, I could no longer ignore the pull to experience life beyond what I had always known, so I moved to the UK.
​
Starting over in a new country taught me what it feels like to not quite fit in while trying to build a life that truly feels like your own.
​
My career path was anything but linear. I worked across fields including agricultural engineering, PR, mentoring and coaching adults retraining for new careers, and managing international training programmes.
​
But through every role, one thing stayed the same: I was always helping people grow.
​
Then motherhood changed everything.
​
After a long fertility journey, I became a mum to twin girls, and with that came a complete shift in identity, priorities, and direction. I experienced firsthand what stress, burnout, emotional resilience, and starting over really feel like.
​
I chose to stay at home with my children, but my ambition didn’t disappear.
​
I started a cake business - something I had dreamed about for years - and learned what it truly takes to build something from the ground up.
​
But after five years, that familiar feeling returned.
​
Part of me wanted to go back to the corporate world because it felt safe and familiar. But deep down, I knew I had outgrown both the traditional 9–5 and the role I had been living in for years.
​
I felt stuck, restless, disconnected from myself, and quietly asking:
Is this really it?
How do I create a life and career that actually fit who I am now?
​
So I did what I had always done:
I found a way forward.
​
Using my background in Learning and Development, training, coaching, and mentoring, I worked through my own transition: rebuilding my confidence, reconnecting with myself, and creating a new direction that felt aligned with the person I had become.
​
And through that process, I found my answer.
​
Now, I help midlife women who feel successful on paper but deeply unfulfilled inside navigate career change with more clarity and confidence, so they can step into work that genuinely excites them and reflects who they are now.
I have a feeling, part of this story sounds a lot
like yours.
My Mission
As I started speaking to more women in midlife, I realised my experience wasn’t unique.
​
I met smart, capable, successful women who had spent years building careers, supporting others, and holding everything together, yet quietly felt stuck and disconnected. They craved inspiring work where they could make a difference.
​
It was always the same - women who looked fine on the outside but felt unfulfilled on the inside.
​
Women questioning careers that no longer fit, doubting themselves after years of putting everyone else first, and wondering if it was too late to want something more meaningful.
​
Caught between the life they had built and the person they had become - feeling out of alignment.
​
I understood that feeling deeply.
​
Through my own journey of change, self-reflection, and rebuilding my confidence, I realised that what many women need isn’t just a new career path. They need permission to trust themselves again.
​
To stop overthinking every decision.
To reconnect with what truly matters to them now.
And to believe they’re still allowed to create work and a life that genuinely excite them.
​
That’s why the work I do matters so much to me.
​
I help midlife women confidently step into a more aligned career so they can finally do inspiring work that reflects who they are now.
​
Because when a woman reconnects with herself and starts making decisions from that place, everything begins to change - how she works, how she shows up, what she believes is possible, and how she experiences her life.
​
This is the work I’m here to do.
Midlife isn’t the end of possibility -
it’s the beginning of self-defined success.
Testimonial
"What I love about Renata's approach is the unique balance she brings: there’s a warm, almost maternal care combined with a deep sense of responsibility. She listened to me with so much kindness, while also being fully present, and equipping me with practical tools that helped me take the next step in my career."
