For a while now, I had an idea in my head for a business development programme — something structured, a bit intense — called Hustle & Flow.

It was all about drive, growth and getting things done. 💪
I was so close to launching it.
I had the plan.
The PDF.
The logos.
The graphics.

I’d put the hours in... but something just wasn’t clicking.

You know that gut feeling that says “this isn’t it” — even when everything looks good on paper?

Yeah, that... 🙄

Then over the past few weeks, I’ve had some really honest conversations with brilliant business owners — people doing incredible things, but wanting to feel good while they grow.

Those chats made me pause, reflect and completely rethink what I was creating.

And what’s come from that space feels lighter.
More fun.
More me.
No hard sell.... and...
It’s flowing; long-standing clients are saying yes, trusting the process — and it just feels right...

I used to think business, wellbeing and adventure had to be separate — but they’re not.

Adventure is part of who I am, whether I’m working or not. And wellbeing? That’s what keeps everything else moving.

So… drum roll please! 🥁

✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 ✨

A year-long coaching programme and community for business owners who want to grow their business without compromising their wellbeing or lifestyle.

It’s for those who thrive on adventure, love the outdoors, and want to build a business that gives them freedom, flexibility and fulfilment.

For purpose-driven business owners who want to make an impact - together.

Then it hit me that I’ve actually created something I’d want to be part of - a space where business, wellbeing and adventure all come together. No wonder it feels so aligned.

Creating this has been the biggest reminder to me to remember to Ask. Then Listen. Then build what the people you want to work with 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 need - not just what you 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 they need...

Because the best ideas come from connection, not just creation. 💫

Three years ago, we met in an ice bath. 🧊

I was running a Wim Hof Method workshop at Dan’s workplace - and even while recovering from long COVID, he showed up curious, open-minded, and ready to dive in (quite literally! ).

Since then, it’s been incredible to watch (and be a small part of) Dan’s journey. He’s now a Wim Hof Method Instructor and Advanced Oxygen Advantage Coach, and together with his wife Karyn, he’s built Vitae Vi - a thriving wellbeing business in West Sussex. Dan and Karyn run weekly breathwork sessions in West Sussex, corporate workshops for brands like Estée Lauder and British Equestrian and even Cold-Water Safety Training for commercial marinas.

Somewhere along the way, we became friends, collaborators, and regular sounding boards for one another. Dan brings humour, energy and heart to everything he does - he’s one of life’s true Tiggers, full of bounce and courage. 🧡

This week, we sat down on the 𝙒𝒐𝙧𝒌 𝒊𝙣 𝙋𝒓𝙤𝒈𝙧𝒆𝙨𝒔 podcast to talk about his journey - from corporate life to entrepreneurship, from recovery from illness to new beginnings. We got into the real stuff: big life changes, following your gut, and redefining success on your own terms.

It’s an honest, inspiring chat about taking the leap, building something meaningful, and trusting yourself when it matters most.

🍂 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, in 7️⃣ snaps...

1️⃣ Van-tripping to Pembrokeshire for my birthday week - a few days of surfing, hiking, trail running and eating my way along the coast. Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate...

2️⃣ Someone got a bit chilly after their sea dip - I need to teach this guy the horse-stance, right?!

3️⃣ On the way home, we couldn’t resist a quick session at - my favourite new hobby in action (I’m still rubbish, but determined to get better!!)

4️⃣ One of the positives of the clocks changing - I’m blooming loving these darker evenings by the wood-burner. Slow evenings, good company and that proper cosy feeling.

5️⃣ Climbing trees and treasure hunts with these two monkeys - the best kind of chaos.

6️⃣ Podcast editing with my trusty ‘assistant’ 🐕 Not much help, but great company.

7️⃣ Cycling home from my office-from-home - It’s more than just a commute. It’s a reset button. A reminder to me that the world is bigger than emails and inboxes. And this view never gets old ✨

In three words? 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙩..

If you could sum up your October in three words, what would they be?! I'd love to know. Drop them in the comments! 👇🏻

Although you probably wouldn't guess it from this silly photo, confidence and self-doubt are two things I’ve consistently struggled with as a business owner over the past 13 years.

For me, it takes a lot of energy and resilience to design, launch, and deliver a new coaching programme, workshop, or retreat - that often it wipes me out. To pour your heart into something and still wonder if people will see the value in it. It’s a pretty vulnerable space!

As a business owner it can feel like I’m on this journey alone, carrying both the vision and the fear that comes with it. But I’m slowly learning that doubt doesn’t mean I’m not capable - it just means I care deeply about what I’m creating - so to stick with the plan and trust the process in the right people showing up at the right time.

Am I alone in feeling this? If you’re a founder, solo-entrepreneur or business owner - pop a 💛 in the comments so I know you're out there - and we’re in this crazy world of business together!

I’m just about to launch 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 & 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 — an eight-month holistic business development programme (kicking off in January 2026!) created specifically for small business owners, founders and solo-entrepreneurs who want to grow with more clarity and confidence, with less stress and overwhelm.

I’m running the 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 & 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 on the 24th, 25th and 26th of November (7pm - 8pm each evening) - where you’ll not only get a taster of what to expect in the full programme but also three value-packed workshops to help you run your business and feel more confident in the process! If you know 2026 is the year for you to work smarter, not harder in your business, I’d love for you to join me. 💫

Registration is open now 👉 https://bit.ly/47Knnqn

I was sent this graphic by a coaching client this week and it really resonated with me - I think too often, running your own business often looks very glamorous and lucrative on the surface (especially on social media!) but often the lived reality of being a business owner can feel quite different.

Here are the top 5⃣ challenges of UK-based small business owners in 2025:

1️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 - juggling unpredictable income with what can seem like endless outgoings every month (not to mention saving for tax and paying yourself!)

2️⃣ 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 - struggling to 𝗱𝗼 everything and 𝗯𝗲 everyone in your business (Hello accounts department, HR, marketing, sales, operations 👋)

3️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 & 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Working long hours, not being able to switch off or giving yourself enough time to rest

4️⃣ 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴) 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 - Knowing who your ideal clients are, where to find them, how to connect and what to offer

5️⃣ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 - Embracing the introduction of AI and advanced in technology

Do you recognise any of those in you and your business? I'm like 𝘆𝗲𝗽, 𝘆𝗲𝗽, 𝘆𝗲𝗽, 𝘆𝗲𝗽, 𝘆𝗲𝗽! 🫠

For me, setting up my business has been one of the best things I've done in my life so far, but also the most challenging (by a long stretch!)

Sarah 🤓

PS: I'm in the process of putting together a three-part online Masterclass series for small business owners to help you grow your business without burnout.

𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: 24th, 25th & 26th November (7pm - 8pm) - more details soon! 👀

🎉 Out of office for my birthday! 🎉

Currently exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast with these three 👨🏻 🐶 🐶 – hiking, trail running, surfing (us, not the dogs! 🤣), and just taking some time to relax (not my speciality 😜, but the perfect way to spend a birthday.) 🌊🥾☀️

In honour of , I wanted to share a few things that bring me joy – here are some photos of the people and places that help me feel my happiest.

The past few years haven’t always been easy, and I often hid my struggles behind a mask of “I’m fine” and “I feel great,” not wanting to burden anyone. But with the right support, I’m learning to find balance, contentment, and to appreciate the little positives in everyday life.

If you’re reading this and struggling (like I was a few years ago), please know you’re not alone. Even if your brain tells you it’s hopeless, things can get better. Keep talking – to friends, family, a therapist, your GP. Don’t suffer in silence. 💛

Let’s remember today – World Mental Health Day – to check in with ourselves and each other.

It’s back! After 2.5 years, my podcast returns!

Previously called ‘Rebel Careers’, now re-named ‘Work in Progress’ I couldn’t be more excited to be back!

This first episode is a proper catch-up — just me, chatting through all things Sarah… what I’ve been up to (personally and professionally), what’s changed, and what’s next. Think of it as a coffee catch-up — but with a microphone 🎤

If you’ve missed the conversations about making bold changes, building something meaningful, and navigating the messy middle of growth — then keep your eyes (and ears) out for new episodes every fortnight.
