This morning we kicked off The Big Sky Business Collective ✨

I’ll be honest - I felt nervous starting the Zoom call… but also excited.
�Excited to finally bring this group business development coaching programme to life - to make the vision I had last year a reality…

Together, we cast vision, set bold intentions for 2026 and then got practical - building clear, focused 90-day plans together. All with a small group of brilliant, thoughtful, committed business owners.

There’s something really powerful about slowing down, taking time out of working in your business to work on it.

Grateful for the trust, the energy and the honesty in the room this morning. This feels like the start of something special. ✨

My alarm went off at 3:15am yesterday morning, and I came back through the door just before midnight…

It was a full-on day travelling, flying to Glasgow and back to spend a day with brilliant business coach Melanie MacIntyre. Intense? Yes. Tiring? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

There’s something really powerful about being in a room full of smart and successful business owners - especially in a setting as beautiful as Hotel du Vin Glasgow. It felt like exactly the right space to slow down, zoom out and properly think.

I mapped out my vision for my life and business as well as my goals and priorities for 2026, and it was a big reminder of how important it is to take time to work on the business, not just in it. I always come away clearer, calmer and more confident when I do.

Which is why I’m feeling so excited about hosting my own 2026 Business Strategy Day at the end of this month for my coaching community, The Big Sky Business Collective.

It’s for ambitious business owners who want to work smarter, not harder this year - creating more ease and less overwhelm - with a blend of business strategy, mindset coaching and wellbeing.

📍 Friday 30th January | Brighton

This week, in that quiet patch between Christmas and New Year ‘Twixmas’ , I had all sorts of plans to get ahead in my business. You know, use the downtime, tick off the to-do list, feel super-productive.

But… my energy just isn’t there.

The weather’s been lovely, the days short - so instead of pushing, I’ve decided to actually listen.

One reframe that’s really helped is not “𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕?” but “𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌?”

Answer: 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁.

So this week I’m backing off. Back to long walks on the beach, pottering in the garden, dips in the sea, soaking up the winter sun, seeing friends, playing music. All the quiet, slow, simple things.

I’ll be back in January. Rested, grounded, and ready to do the work that actually matters.

See you then! 🌿

For me, 2025 was a year of growth, change, and a plenty of ‘what on earth am I doing?’ moments.

From running sold-out adventure retreats to recovering from burnout and rediscovering hobbies that make me feel alive - this year taught me more than any strategy ever could.

These are the five lessons I’m taking into 2026:

✨ It’s OK to stop
✨ Listen to your gut
✨ Don’t be afraid of change (even when it’s working)
✨ Less is more
✨ Hobbies matter (and they come first)

Whether you’re building a business or creating space for more adventure and wellbeing in your life - I hope something here lands for you too.

What’s one lesson you’re carrying forward from 2025?

Have you ever have that moment where you help someone, welcome them into your life and business, openly share your behind-the-scenes … and then see your workshop slides, your retreat schedule, or your content show up online under their name? 👀

Word. For. Word. 😤

It’s frustrating - because trust is something I don’t give lightly. I love helping people grow, even in the same industry as me, but the intention is never to hand them a copy-and-paste template.

But here’s the thing I remind myself every time:

You can copy the idea, but you can’t copy the person.

You can’t download 15 years as a psychologist.

You can’t screenshot 2 years of leadership in the mountains.

You can’t imitate nearly 4 years as a Wim Hof Method instructor.

You can't pretend to have 14 years as a business owner.

You can’t replicate lived experience, intuition, or presence.

So yes… it stings. It’s sad you can’t trust everyone.

But I’ll keep creating, keep leading, keep teaching - because what I bring isn’t duplicable. And those who know, know. 🔥

20 years after giving up the violin as a teenager, I picked it up again just over two years ago… and honestly, I’ve pretty much had to learn it all from scratch 🎻✨

Folk music just gets me (must be the Irish roots 😉). And if you’ve ever been on one of my retreats, you’ll know how much I adore authentic local music — from lively ceilidhs in barns to cosy evenings with musicians in bunkhouses across the UK.

Please be kind (!!) It’s taken me a couple of weeks to work up the courage to share this because I *know* it’s not perfect - but I’m realising that’s exactly the point. I’m posting it as a reminder (for me and anyone watching) that not everything online has to be polished and perfect. It doesn’t have to be beautifully curated or planned. We are enough exactly as we are… playing my violin in a tracksuit, bum notes and all 🎵😅

I’ve also found a wonderful local folk group to play with each week, and we even run a monthly pub session here in Brighton - 7–8pm on the first Wednesday of the month at (if you’re at a loose end! 😉)

Plenty to learn, plenty to improve, but honestly… I’m having the best time 💚

Scary? Absolutely. Worth it? Without a doubt. I followed the process, put in the work, and the return on my investment? At least 10x, in just six (yes, six!) months. That experience taught me the power of guidance, accountability and investing in yourself - and it’s exactly why I continue to work with a coach myself - and also why I created the 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙎𝙠𝙮 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚.

The 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙎𝙠𝙮 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 isn’t just coaching - it’s a space where your business and your wellbeing thrive. A place to slow down, think clearly, connect with like-minded business owners, and take practical steps to grow your business in a way that actually supports your life.

It's a coaching programme and community for ambitious business owners feeling stressed, overwhelmed and stuck - trading time for money, lacking structure and struggling to hit their goals.

Through the 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙎𝙠𝙮 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 you'll gain clarity, structure and predictability in your workflow and income. You'll leverage your skills and experience, stop exchanging time for money, grow cash flow, build a business around your life, and connect with a supportive community - finally having more impact, being seen as an expert and feeling confident in business.

There are now just two founding member spaces (at the discounted price of £299 per month) left to join in December ready to start in January. Applications close next Friday (12th December).

👉 All the Details: https://bit.ly/4iyedBa

Create a business that gives you freedom, energy, and impact - without sacrificing what matters most.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆!

It was brilliant to have designed - and now delivered - the first of two '𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚360' days for British Equestrian. 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚360 blends of personal and professional development - bringing together business, wellbeing and career development, specifically for equestrian athletes.

The idea first emerged when I began working with British Equestrian last year and I recognised a real need for athletes to have the opportunity to step away from their usual environment, connect with one another and have dedicated space to develop both personally and professionally.

Life can be pretty demanding for these athletes - not only are they riding at the highest level, but they’re also running businesses, managing their online presence, growing their profile and juggling everything else: family, a social life, hobbies and trying to carve a little time out! They are an incredibly committed and hard-working bunch, and I feel privileged to work with them.

From the outset yesterday, the energy was high, the food delicious, the venue stunning and our expert speakers absolutely excelled. It was fantastic to receive such positive feedback from the athletes, really cementing the importance of working out of the saddle to elevate what they do in the saddle.

Roll on our next day in January!

Sarah 😁

𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗲 🥾

Last year I hit a serious wall. Long days, constant output, saying yes to everything… I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly, I felt like I was running on fumes. I knew something had to change - my business was growing, but I was burning out, and I’d lost touch with why I started in the first place.

So I pressed pause. I walked the hills, breathed, and really listened to myself. That’s when it clicked for me : planning in business year is like planning a hike. You don’t just scramble randomly to the top - you pick your summit, map your route and take it step by step (yummy snacks mandatory 😉).

In this week’s 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 podcast episode, I share the 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙:

1️⃣ 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 – your vision
2️⃣ 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 – your goals
3️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 – your action

If you’ve ever felt like your business is a mountain with no map, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/19-map-2026-year-like-a-hike-my-3-step-planning-method/id1611329972?i=1000737202183

Try this planning method with me live next Monday evening (24th November @ 7pm) in a free workshop! Together, we’ll walk through the steps to map out your 2026 with clarity, intention, and a whole lot more ease. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/6YP64ao7XT9D4b9T7

📸 Throwback to an incredible day in the French Alps earlier this year — with the most breathtaking views around every corner. The mountains really do have my heart! 🏔️✨
