I'm Persia...
...& I get remarkable relationships for women who give a shit.
Having once been a serial cheater and obsessive love addict, I’m proud to now be in a great relationship (well, marriage) that inspires and challenges me daily - and isn’t the least bit boring, as I always believed a ‘healthy’ relationship would be.
So, if you find yourself heartbroken, struggle with intimacy, self-sabotage & picking unavailable lovers (like I used to) - or you feel overwhelmed by the online dating scene and are tired of being called "intimidatingly successful" to men...
...you're in the right place.
"It has been incredible to witness Persia step into her power as a leader for a new generation. This woman is a beautiful guide & mentor for us all!"

Through my book, Love is Coming: How to Find Real Love in a Superficial World, my top 5 podcast (also called Love is Coming) and my signature program, Love For Leaders, I’m dedicated to helping female leaders & high-achievers get relationships that enhance not just their personal lives, but their professional vision & mission, too.
Which, if you know my back story, is somewhat of a miracle.
LET ME REWIND...
Growing up, my parents struggled with drug addiction. To escape the challenging emotions I was experiencing at home - and to feel some sense of the validation I craved, I soon became an overachiever. (This had its perks, given that I was awarded one of the top marks in the country for my English Literature GCSE whilst my dad was in rehab).
I also became a sex and love addict;
no other high could top that of falling in (and soon out of) love with the wrong guy.
Thankfully, Mum and Dad got sober when I was sixteen and created an incredible life for themselves and our family; they were my first example of a true Power Couple relationship that was thriving on the outside, because they’d prioritised healing and growth on the inside – as individuals, and as a couple.
However, I’d spent the majority of my life surrounded by drama and chaos. So, when that suddenly disappeared at home, I majorly ramped up the drama and chaos in my love life, instead.
I’d sabotage any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends I had, or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys’ so that I’d never have to risk real intimacy or commitment.
This pattern continued well in to my 20s - fuelled further by the rise of the swipe culture of social media and online dating apps that made it easier and more tempting to play away, and harder and less desirable to try and maintain a steady, long-term relationship.
"Persia is a beautiful paradox because she is effervescent with wildness, yet also has a quiet resolve for consistent love.”
- Charlie Mackesy, Artist & Sunday Times Bestselling Author of The Boy The Mole, The Fox and The Horse
My rock bottom moment came in my mid-twenties.
I found myself working as a hostess in a London strip club, where I was sexually assaulted
- just weeks after getting my Masters in Classical Acting.
Following this incident, I put on two stone whilst on an acting job in Shanghai, prompting my concerned dad to take me away to a health retreat in Thailand.
Whilst there, he gave me some advice that went on to change the entire trajectory of my life.
He said:
"Focus on the insides, and the outsides will take care of themselves."
These words were the launch pad I needed to leverage all my overachiever energy
towards healing the real root of all my romantic dilemmas:
My relationship with myself.
Long story short...
I started blogging about my journey into self-development and spirituality, which captured the media’s attention and soon led to a book deal and coaching business called Addictive Daughter with a friend.
In the process, I met my now-husband in a secret rave at Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire.
(Where I was speaking about our book, which was due to be published the following year).
Soon, I found myself in the best relationship of my life - by far.
I'm still in that relationship 8 years on - we actually got married in our very own
festival in Summer 2022.
(Our wedding actually inspired us to create a festival called 'Peace & Love,' which raises awareness & funds to replant the Amazonian rainforest with indigenous communities through our friend's charity, Yakum).
Today, we live between the Surrey Hills and London with our cockapoo dog, Reggae
(when we're not travelling or running retreats in India or Costa Rica).
My life today is not what I thought it would look like, but it feels better than I ever imagined it could.
I feel enough. He feels enough. Our relationship feels enough. I finally feel satisfied.
As a result, I’m far more available, giving and successful in every other area of my life too, because I’m not wasting time and energy obsessing over someone who’ll never be able to give me what I want, or hurting someone because I know I’ll never be able to give them what they want.
During the course of our relationship, not only did I pivot my career to solely focus on helping other high-achieving women transform their love lives from the inside-out, I discovered why having a healthy, exciting, meaningful true Power Couple relationship is so crucial in today's world:
Because, aside from being great for the couple, as I witnessed through my parent's transformation (as well as my own) it also has a hugely positive impact on the couple's loved ones, communities - and even the world.
This brings me to you...
I want you to know that if I can have a great relationship, you can, too.
I know you can.
Because I've now guided hundreds of women from around the world to transform their own love lives and get relationships that support and elevate
(rather than distract them from) the important work they're here to do in the world.
And, whilst I know this world’s got bigger problems than whether you and I are happy in our love lives, at the same time, had I not dealt with my relationship issues when I did I would’ve undoubtedly ended up marrying (and divorcing) the wrong man – and that wouldn’t have served anyone.
In fact, I’m convinced that if we as a society spent more time and resources teaching people how to have healthy relationships from an earlier age...
(which has NOTHING to do with how may 'likes', 'followers' or 'matches' we're able to garner!)
... we’d dramatically decrease the likelihood of divorce, addiction & family breakdowns – and all the complicated crap that goes along with them.
So, if you're ready to stop looking OUTSIDE of yourself for the partner you want to GET, and start looking INSIDE of yourself for the partner you want to BE...
... you need to check out my transformational program,
Love For Leaders.
