She Built a Business to Beat Her Biggest Fear

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Andy Baker speaks to Sabina Thorpe—a mum, carer, business leader, and woman who grew up silenced by a stammer and the weight of cultural expectations.

Sabina opens up about her childhood experiences of bullying, being told to stay quiet, and feeling utterly alone. But she also shares how she turned those struggles into strength—first by learning to speak for herself, and then by building a call centre, multiple businesses, and eventually co-founding DeskVal, an AI-powered property valuation platform now disrupting the industry.

This isn’t just a story of business—it’s a story of identity, resilience, and the power of being seen and heard.

Whether you're caring for others, raising children, teaching young minds, or trying to reclaim your own voice, this episode will stay with you.
