Empower Your Career

Nurture Ambition is here to support professional women, especially mothers, in building fulfilling careers while preventing burnout.

You're not lazy, unmotivated or broken, you’re burnt out.

Feeling stuck in your career, but unsure how to move forward?

Whether you're:

  • A mum in Brisbane who's exhausted just thinking about returning to work,

  • Navigating burnout in Sydney after years in a career that no longer feels aligned, or

  • Trying to figure out what’s next from your kitchen table in regional Australia...

 

You’re in the right place.

At Nurture Ambition, I help women, especially mothers, reset their nervous systems, reconnect with their values, and build careers that support their wellbeing, not drain it.

How I help

I’m Merly Hartnett, Career Coach, Burnout Recovery Specialist, and Working Mum.

With over a decade of experience in career development, occupational rehab, and holistic wellness, I support women to:

  • Break free from burnout

  • Clarify their career direction

  • Build confidence and momentum

  • Explore flexible or purpose-driven work options

  • Make values-aligned choices
     

All sessions are delivered virtually, so whether you're in QLD, NSW or anywhere in Australia, support is just one call away.
