Always putting out spot fires🔥 in your business? Constantly in reactive mode?

When everything feels urgent, it’s easy to assume you need a better system or to be “more organised”.

But often, what’s missing isn’t another strategy - it’s space.

Space to step back.
Space to THINK.
Space to notice what is and isn’t working.

Even 30–60 minutes of uninterrupted thinking time, scheduled at the same time each week, can start to shift you out of reactive mode.

If this resonates, let me know in the comments - and tell me if you’re going to try it this week.

You don’t need to overhaul your business overnight.

Sometimes the most powerful shift is simply deciding when you’re available and when you’re not.

Boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re STRATEGIC.

Many women don’t stay stuck because they lack insight.

They stay because they’re waiting for permission.

Permission to change direction.

Permission to step off a path they’ve invested heavily in.

Permission to want something different - even if the current version looks “successful” from the outside.

The longer you’ve committed time, energy, or identity to something, the harder it can feel to question it.

That doesn’t mean staying is the right choice.

It just means the decision carries weight.

Clarity doesn’t come from certainty.
It comes from honest reflection - and the willingness to trust yourself enough to ask better questions.

Save this if it resonates, or share it with someone who’s been quietly questioning their next step.

A pattern I see often in business owners and leaders is feeling constantly pulled into problem-solving.

Not because they don’t trust their team - but because they’ve unintentionally become the place where every problem lands.

Over time, this creates overwhelm, decision fatigue, and the sense that you can’t step away without everything stalling.

One small but powerful shift is changing the question from “What’s the problem?” to “What ideas do you have to work this out?”

This isn’t about being hands-off.
It’s about building capability, confidence, and accountability - in your team and yourself.

Leadership doesn’t require carrying everything. It requires changing how responsibility flows.

This is the kind of work I support women within business and leadership roles.

Busy all day, but nothing actually moves forward?

This is a pattern I see often in my work with business owners.

Capable, driven people who are doing a lot - yet ending most days feeling like they’ve been busy putting out spot fires, without actually shifting the business forward.

What’s usually underneath it isn’t a productivity problem.
It’s role confusion.

When you’re constantly switching between CEO, manager, and staff member, your nervous system stays in “react” mode - and the bigger-picture work never gets the space it needs.

If this resonates, save the post and come back to the CEO filter on slide 5. It’s a simple question, but it can help you change your behaviour and therefore how your week feels.

If this is something you’d like support with this year, feel free to DM me.

I’m Sarah - a psychologist of over 20 years, wife, mother of two and a sausage dog 🌭 Lola.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in corporate roles, school settings, and now private practice. With each season, my understanding of women, work, and wellbeing has deepened - particularly after becoming a parent myself.

Like many women, motherhood prompted me to question the way I was working. I wanted to have more impact, more freedom, and to design work that could coexist with family life - not compete with it.

I launched my private practice in 2020 with a strong desire to support women who were feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out - often while outwardly “coping” and achieving.

I’m deeply passionate about helping women build lives (and work) that actually light them up - where they can share their gifts, follow their dreams, and feel more like themselves along the way.

This space is where I share reflections on psychology, business, leadership and what it really takes to create a sustainable, meaningful life. If this resonates - you are very welcome here.

When I trained to become a psychologist, I spent 6 years mastering my craft.

I learned everything about the brain, emotions, behaviour… but nothing about marketing my business.

Pretty bizarre, right? Marketing is literally based on the psychology of human decision-making - yet it wasn’t even mentioned once.

When I launched my private practice during COVID, I quickly realised that being skilled at what I do wasn’t enough. Having decades of experience wasn't enough.

I had to learn how to market my services, to get over the fear of putting myself "out there" and being seen, in order to reach the right clients, and show up confidently.

Now, part of my mission is helping other business owners do the same - building the confidence to put themselves and their expertise out into the world so they make the impact they dream of, while being paid what they deserve.

💡 Question for you: What skill are you amazing at … but aren’t marketing properly yet? What needs to change so that you can reach and therefore help more people?

Three generations of girls cheering on the today 💕⚡️

There’s something seriously motivating about watching women perform at this level - the hours of training, the mindset work, and the grit it takes to keep showing up. The T-Birds didn’t get the win today 🥹 but they fought hard right to the end. Such strong role models to say the least.

Makes you want to back yourself and go all in on the things that matter to you too💃💃 Time to pull the finger out and get cracking for the last 5 months of 2025 💞💞
