Hi, I'm Venita
Lawyer | Author | Coach
After 20 years working as a Lawyer and Mediator, Venita became less interested in solving legal problems, and more interested in solving human ones. So she stopped writing contracts and starting writing books instead. Books for adults. Books for children. Books designed to help people feel stronger, calmer, and better about themselves.

10 Second Coach
Most of us already know what we should be doing. The hard part is actually doing it when life feels exhausting.
You’re not lazy. You’re not a failure. You’re just overloaded.
Trying to keep up with work, family, health, relationships, notifications, deadlines – everyone and everything needing something from you all at once.
You say yes to things you wish you hadn’t. Replay conversations in your head at 2am. Lose confidence when you need it most. You feel busy, but barely touch your to-do list.
That’s where 10 Second Coach comes in.
Because 10 seconds is enough to change the direction of your entire day.
- It’s a way to introduce small pauses.
- Tiny shifts to allow better everyday decisions.
- It helps you claim control.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not your average lawyer.
In fact, I’m not your average anything.
My career has never fit into one neat box – and that’s why I’m here.
After 20 years working as a Lawyer and Mediator, I realised I wasn’t built to follow the “usual” path. I became less interested in solving legal problems, and more interested in solving human ones. You know. Stress. Pressure. Self-Doubt. Conflict. Relationship problems.
The everyday struggles no-one prepares us for.
Now I help people navigate modern life in a world that expects us to answer emails immediately, drink enough water, exercise, meal prep, work hard, raise perfect little humans and somehow hold it all together, while looking fabulous.

Kids have big feelings too.
Mini & Milo is a six-book children’s series that helps kids navigate emotions, communicate better, build confidence, handle conflict and develop resilience.
The best part? They’re books kids genuinely enjoy reading – without feeling like they’re sitting through a life lesson.
No preachy messages. No boring “teaching” books. Just funny stories with important life skills gently woven and hidden inside the stories – a bit like hidden veggies!
