Yvonne Radley Author and Lifestyle Coach

About me…

Hey, I’m Yvonne — the proud author of Dandelion Yellow, my debut novel — and the living proof that even the wildest dreams are possible when you back them up with intention and action

I’m also a lifestyle coach, retreat host, and the creator of Life Pie. I help women like you press pause, tune in, and take powerful action to create a life that’s more aligned, more fulfilling, and more you.

The story behind the story

Let me take you back to 2018. I was running a Life Pie session, guiding women through a powerful exercise where we imagined our lives 20 years into the future. Everyone was dreaming big — and I declared that I’d be a successful author, with two books published and one about to be made into a film.

It was a bold vision… and also a bit of a dream. Because I hadn’t written a single word.

That moment was a line in the sand. I realised that if I didn’t start now, I’d look back with regret. So I began. Slowly, messily, in between everything else life threw at me – menopause, pandemic, going to uni for the first time EVER to do an MA.

And seven years later — Dandelion Yellow is published. And the dream is no longer just a vision; it’s my reality. What the heck??? Not only that but my second book is well underway.

That’s the power of Life Pie.

What is Life Pie?

Life Pie is a lifestyle membership for women who want to live more consciously and more courageously. You can join at any time, and it’s structured as an ongoing monthly subscription — no pressure, no rigid timelines, just consistent, supportive momentum.

Together, we explore eight key areas of your life:

Business, Money, Time Out, Adventure, People, Emotional Health, Passion Projects, and Health & Wellness.

Inside the programme, you’ll find:

Monthly themes and focus points
Group coaching sessions that keep you accountable and inspired
Journaling prompts to help you reflect and realign
A thriving community of like-minded women who get it

And if group coaching isn’t your thing? You can upgrade to 1:1 coaching with me — a more personalised, in-depth experience where we dig deep and make magic happen, just for you.

This is about small, meaningful changes that add up to a big shift in how you live your life. Life Pie helped me write a novel. It’s helped other women launch businesses, move house, find their voice, leave unfulfilling jobs, and finally do the things they’ve been talking about for years.

And I’m just getting started.

Ready to go deeper?

There’s something incredibly powerful about stepping away from your day-to-day life and giving yourself space to think. That’s why I host Life Pie retreats — soulful, intimate, heart-opening experiences in beautiful locations where you can press pause and reconnect with yourself.

They’re part workshop, part sisterhood, part sanctuary — and they change lives.

Who I am — beyond the job titles

I’m a former journalist turned author, a mum to two grown up sons and now a grandma to two girls, a teacher by day, and a mentor by heart. I’ve built online and offline businesses, battled chronic anxiety, and found peace in the middle of reinvention. I know what it feels like to have big dreams and no time. I also know how to make space for what matters — and help other women do the same.

Whether you’re here to escape into fiction, find your footing through Life Pie, or take a bold leap into something new — I’m here for it. And I’m here for you.

Let’s start your next chapter, together.

Nice things people say about me

💛 This is what happens when you say yes to yourself

“Life Pie has allowed me to identify what areas of my life are important, and how to achieve a better balance. My biggest takeaway? Not to feel pressured by other people’s expectations if it doesn’t feel right for me.”
— Jane Thomas

“Life Pie helped me recognise where I was putting all my energy — and gently redirected it to where it was actually needed. I now check in with my Life Pie regularly to stay balanced and listen to my body.”
— Anna Mima

“If you want to shift your perspective, Life Pie is where it’s at. I went from running full speed into launching new programmes… to building an exit plan within a week.”
— Jane Darke

“Life Pie is a fantastic way to check in with where you are and where you want to be. It helps me focus my energy and makes me feel genuinely excited about my future. Yvonne motivates you to make choices that are right for you, not everyone else.”
— Hannah Epps

“The Life Pie process helped me unravel the tangled threads of ideas, tasks, and to-do’s I was carrying in my head. It gave me a way to prioritise them into clear life areas, with manageable steps to take in both the short and long term.”
— Cara Tatterton

“Life Pie completely shifted my perspective and opened my eyes to so many new possibilities — both in life and business. If you’re looking for clarity, fresh ideas, or meaningful change, this is the place. The sessions are fun, the group is fantastic, and Yvonne has a true gift for helping you turn ideas into action.”
— Helen Pybus

Because of this passion, I wanted to provide resources for other coaches so they wouldn’t have to take the long road to the kind of success they craved.
