What if the real challenge wasn’t starting again after divorce, but becoming someone you actually recognise?

In this raw episode, I’m joined by powerhouse business coach, life coach, property Queen and mama of six Katie Bloomfield…. and we’re talking all things blended families, identity reclamation, and what it really takes to rebuild a life that feels like yours.

Katie’s lived a few lifetimes… young mum at 19, divorced, reinvented, remarried, running businesses, raising six kids (yep, six), and turning the BS phrase “broken family” into breakthrough family.

Together, we get into:

💥 Why blended families need new language, not outdated labels
🧠 The difference between commitment and obligation (and why that matters in love and parenting)
🔥 Identity after divorce…. and why who you were isn't who you have to be
💬 “Real” mums (v imaginary?!), “half” siblings, and how to break generational stories around worth and belonging
🧃 The emotional labour no one talks about when you're the woman holding it all
✨ And why you don’t have to perform ‘strength’ to be a f*cking queen

This isn’t just a story of remarriage. It’s a story of radical self-awareness, emotional responsibility, and choosing love…. not just in romance, but in how you parent, how you speak to yourself, and how you build your next chapter.

🗝️ Your takeaway?
You don’t have to be who you were told to be.
You get to choose again, especially when it’s hard.

→ Tune in now
→ Share with the woman who's been told she's “too much” to blend
→ And if you're ready to write a new kind of family narrative… you’re in the right place.

Katie has also shared the link with us for her and Danny’s brilliant WEALTHY LIFE PLAYBOOK

….aka the one where I break my arm… and still show up.

This week, I wasn’t planning on recording.

Because I wasn’t planning on breaking my f*cking arm.

And yet….here I am. Messy bun. Painkillers. Microphone. Because there’s something about being cracked open that reminds you what really matters.

In this (very human, slightly wobbly) episode, I talk about….

• What breaking my arm taught me about business, identity, and being forced to slow the hell down
  
  
• Why survival mode is seductive (but also suffocating)
  
  
• How reinvention often begins in the rubble… or in my case, the A&E waiting room

No 5-step plans. No polished takeaways. Just the raw, real truth of what happens when the woman who holds it all together… can’t.

If you’ve ever found yourself flat on your back (figuratively or literally), this one’s for you.

Hit play, love. Let’s rewrite the narrative, bruises and all.

Loads of love,

Sarah x

This one’s for the parent who’s ever whispered “am I doing this right?” into a tear-stained pillow at 2 in the morning.

In this essential legal and emotional deep-dive, I’m joined once again by powerhouse solicitor Rebecca Baker…. the Consultant Family Law Solicitor you need on speed dial the moment everything crumbles.

Because post-divorce parenting? It’s not just about who gets the kids on Tuesday. It’s about navigating big decisions with someone who may still be triggering your nervous system.

Together, we unpack….

• What “Parental Responsibility” really means…. legally and emotionally
  
  
• Who gets to decide on school choices, medical treatment, holidays, and even surnames
  
  
• What to do when your ex throws around “I’ve got rights” like a tantrum

PLUS: Rebecca shares the 3 biggest battles she sees (and how to avoid them).

⚖️ From real-life examples (think, vegan vs. steak dad debates) to court-backed realities, this episode will leave you clearer, calmer, and less likely to scream into your cereal.

This is the episode your future self (and your child) will thank you for.

With so much love,

Sarah x
