I’m Terri Connellan. I’m an author and life transition, creativity and personality coach for midlife women wanting a life with deeper purpose. I work globally through my creative business, Quiet Writing, and my books Wholehearted: Self-leadership for women in transition and the Wholehearted Companion Workbook are published by the kind press. I work with women seeking deeper meaning and purpose and wanting support with more creative ways of living with self-knowledge and self-awareness.
I bring together a passion for creative living with skill and knowledge as a twice certified life coach and personality type practitioner, backed by 30 years’ experience in adult education teaching, facilitation and leadership. Qualifications wise, in addition to my coaching, I have a Master of Arts in Language and Literacy and two teaching qualifications including one in adult education.
Most importantly, I’ve been on a major life transition journey myself over the past five years. Pretty much EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed as I’ve shifted from being a long-term government employee to shaping a self-sustaining, creative life based on my passions and desires.
I have learnt so much on my transition journey. I’ve taken my body of work, skills and experience and added to it to create a new life. The biggest learning was about the value of CREATIVITY, PERSONALITY TYPE KNOWLEDGE and SELF-LEADERSHIP to guide positive change. That’s why these 3 things are at the core of everything I do. I share my story, skills and learned wisdom to help you create your deeper story.
My books Wholehearted: Self-leadership for women in transition and the Wholehearted Companion Workbook are out now. Click the pic below for all the links to buy in Australia and worldwide in paperbacks and ebook!
An accredited Jung/Myers-Briggs personality type practitioner, I am passionate about supporting women to find deeper meaning and purpose via their unique personality preferences and strengths as a compass.
Creating a new story, getting back to our selves, dusting off accumulated layers that have kept us from being in touch with what we really want to do.
Finding sustainable ways to craft and live a more fulfilling and creative life with practical, grounded strategies and frameworks.
Wholehearted self-leadership is what it’s all about. It’s time to put yourself and your inner work first for a change. Who knows where your enhanced self-understanding and fresh insights might take you?
I’ve created offerings and resources distilling and sharing skills, learning and experiences from my wholehearted self-leadership journey of transition from an overwhelming day job to living a life of self-sustaining creativity.
Whether it’s a one on one personal approach, enjoying connection with a community of creative women, learning about your personality, seeking intuitive guidance via tarot, becoming a coach or reading stories of wholehearted living, I share learned wisdom – mine and others – to inspire your creative transition journey of the heart.

As a result of our coaching series, I now see myself as somebody who knows what she wants and can achieve the goals she sets. I am now applying for university level jobs, offering my writing for publication again and enrolled in a Masters course for Creative Writing.

I am definitively in a totally different place than I was three months ago. My personal creative practice took off in a direction I always wanted it to go but for some reason hesitated. After taking time to explore my vision, I decided to enrol in a coaching program that felt in a perfect alignment with my heart.
