It's time to
You don't need a dream job. You need to know what's going to work for you right now, and how to go and get it.
Does this sound familiar?
You used to love your work. You used to feel like you were good at it.
But then something happened…
Maybe you started a family and now you don't know which way is up
Maybe you've been made redundant and you want to take a breath and work out what's next
Maybe you've got a toxic boss or a toxic workplace and your confidence and wellbeing is slowly eroding
Maybe you've had a dream of changing careers, going out on your own or starting a business but you don't know where to start
Maybe you've blinked and somehow you've been in the same career for so many years that you don't even know where to start
Maybe you're returning from parental leave, a career break, or a big life change and you don't quite recognise yourself professionally anymore
Maybe you've got a million responsibilities outside of work and the idea of adding "figure out my career" to the list feels completely overwhelming
Maybe you've looked at job ads and thought... none of these feel right
Maybe you're scared of making the wrong move, so you make no move at all
You've been telling yourself you'll "figure it out" for months (okay, maybe years), but the clarity never seems to come.
Deep down, you want work that actually energises you. You're just not sure that's really possible for someone like you, with your life, your commitments, your constraints.
You know that your work isn't working for you, but making a change feels so hard.
Regardless of how you got here, part of you wants to take control of your career, actually enjoy your work again, do something that lights you up and get paid your worth, but something is holding you back.
Maybe you're worried that you'll just be doing the same shit at a different place, so what's the point of even trying.
Maybe you're looking around and everyone else seems pretty worn down and sad and stuck so why would you think it can be any different for you?
Maybe you're ready to throw it all in and become a stay at home mum or a teacher but you're not confident you've thought it all through.
Or maybe you know something needs to change, you just have absolutely no idea what that looks like or where to even begin.
And now you're thinking that what you need is…
Other people seem to be able to do it, so you should be able to knuckle down and work it out too.
And as the days, weeks and months pass by, nothing really changes.
Maybe you half heartedly chuck in a couple of job applications and then feel even worse when you hear nothing back.
Maybe you think about talking to your boss but always find a reason not to.
Maybe you tell yourself that trying to make a move, in this economy, is a crazy thing to do.
You're tired, you're overwhelmed, you're worried about money, you're losing your confidence and your spark, you can't remember what you're good at any more and you're beginning to feel resigned to a life of stress, monotony, toxicity and burnout.
What if I told you
That it didn't have to be this way?
Imagine if in the next three months you could…
Sounds like a dream but it is possible.
You can have the work-life you want and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. In fact, you probably shouldn't.
It's Time to Love Your Work!
Introducing
Love Your Work with Ellen Hooper
THE leading program for seasoned professionals who want to fall in love with their lives again. The professionals who want to have it all, do work they love, have the flexibility they want and get paid what they're worth to do it.
Love Your Work is the place where you can create the work-life you've always dreamed of but didn't think was possible, WITHOUT applying for a thousand jobs, spending hours watching online videos, doing another degree, taking a huge pay cut or feeling hopelessly alone.
Inside Love Your Work, you will learn how to
Work out what you like and what you're good at. Design your work-life for right now, and any time it needs an uplift. Love Your Work doesn't just solve your clarity for right now, it gives you quick and effective tools that you can use for the rest of your career.
It will completely transform the way you think about work, work-life balance, negotiation and career change. You will come away being able to negotiate for yourself authentically and hard without feeling demanding, and being able to turn ruminating into action and uncover your immunity to change.
If you've ever felt like there's no solution for you
If you're tired of cookie-cutter options, if you want someone with a track record of gently and firmly transforming lives, you're going to want to keep reading…
What if you had a coach who had already re-designed her work-life and is willing to teach you how to do the same?
What if you could get clear on what you really want to do next and feel totally confident in getting there?
What if you could get daily access to a mentor who has expertise in HR, employment law, flexible work, C-Suite and Non-Executive Director experience?
You can have all that and more inside Love Your Work.
The Love Your Work Difference
Love Your Work is not a quick, cheap, self-paced approach. It's a small group mentorship program that gives you tools, momentum, community and accountability to make big changes over an 8-week period.
Unlimited access to Ellen's advice and support in the Love Your Work online community and 24/7 support with a customised AI agent so you can keep moving forward anytime day or night.
This is designed for you if you've been stuck in making a career move for over 3 months, you're sick of outdated approaches that pretend that your work and life are separate, and deep down you know it's time for you to take charge of your career.
Unlike 90 minute career strategy sessions or resume re-writes, Love Your Work takes the time to look at your work and life holistically and guides you with individual advice, strategies and support.
Maybe you can do this on your own, but how long will it take and what will it cost you?

Introducing your coach and mentor
Hi! I'm Ellen Hooper
I started my career as a graduate at a corporate law firm at the age of 22. By the time I turned 25 I was crying in my office, regularly. That's when I knew I had to make a move.
I was desperate to land a HR job but after about 50 applications and zero interviews, I moved from private practice commercial law to in-house law for the Victorian government.
I loved working for the government and giving legal advice to school Principals, surrounded by smart, compassionate people focused on making a huge impact. I knew if I didn't love practicing law there, I wouldn't love it anywhere, so I made an internal move from the legal team to the HR team.
From there I built my HR career over a decade, leading employee relations and culture & capability teams before becoming a Chief People Officer.
After returning to work with my second child, I was overlooked for a promotion and was devastated. A conversation with my husband gave me the courage to go out on my own and start my own coaching and consulting business.
My career path means I've done it all, changed careers, changed industries, started a business, worked full-time with kids, worked part-time, job-shared at an executive level, managed recruitment functions and hired a lot of people.
I'm an Award-Winning coach, certified with the International Coaching Federation and I've helped hundreds of people transform their careers.
I'm also a mum to two small kids, so I get gastro a lot.
I've got the certificates (Masters of Management, a Law degree, an accredited mediator) but the thing I'm best at is helping you work out what's best for you.
I'm not into conventional wisdom, and I'm also not into 'quit your job and trust the universe'.
I'm here to support you, push you, guide you and make you laugh. In Love Your Work we do the hard work but we also have fun. And most importantly, we get results.
Is Love Your Work for You?
Love Your Work IS for you if…
- You know something needs to change but you don't know what or how
- Your confidence has taken a hit after a redundancy, restructure or toxic workplace
- You're returning from parental leave or a career break and need to rediscover your professional self
- You're coasting in a role that pays the bills but doesn't light you up
- You want work that fits around your real life, family, commitments, all of it
- You're done overthinking and ready to take small, consistent action
- You want clarity, a plan and the confidence to go after it
- You feel undervalued, invisible or like you're not reaching your potential
- You're ready for the next season of your career, you just need help defining what that looks like
Love Your Work is NOT for you if…
- You already know exactly what you want and just need someone to execute it for you
- You're looking for a recruiter or a job placement service
- You want a quick fix or a magic answer without doing any inner work
- You're not ready to be honest with yourself about what's really going on
- You're expecting someone else to hand you the answers
- You want a purely transactional CV-and-cover-letter service
- You're not willing to invest real time and energy into the process
- You're happy where you are and not genuinely open to change
- You want someone to make the decision for you

If you're nervous about taking the plunge, I get it.
The story you're telling yourself right now is probably someone else's. Maybe it's the voice that tells you that you should be able to do it alone and that you don't need any help. I've been there.
My clients make more change in the 8 weeks we spend together than they have in the last 8 years.
Maybe it's that you think this is too much money to invest in yourself. I totally get it. Most of my clients end up earning more or finding time and space that's worth a lot of money to them.
Money-back guarantee
If Love Your Work isn't what you thought it would be or you didn't find it helpful, you can have your money back, no questions asked. No one has ever asked for their money back.
Maybe you think it's not the right time. I'll tell you this, it's never the right time. Plus, you have access to the course materials for 6 months with an option to extend, and if you don't get what you need in our 8 weeks together you can join the next cohort for a small repeat fee.
Ready to Love Your Work?
The next cohort starts Monday 25 May 2026. Spaces are limited to keep the group intimate and the support personalised.
