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💥 Why blended families need new language, not outdated labels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

We’ve been told travel is the reward…. a break after the chaos, the healing, the rebuilding.

But what if it’s not an escape?

What if it’s the invitation?

This week, I’m joined by transformational travel coach Terri Reynolds, and we’re going beyond the suitcase. Because this conversation isn’t about packing light ….it’s about travelling deep.

Together we unpack:
✈️ Why solo travel can be the fastest route back to yourself
🧳 The emotional baggage you don’t have to carry anymore
🔥 How geography mirrors identity reclamation
💡 Tiny ways to create freedom, even if you never leave your postcode

This one is for the woman who’s:
✨ Craving something beyond survival
✨ Feeling stuck in the in-between
✨ Wondering if it’s “too late” to change everything

Terri shares her story, tools, and gentle rebellion… reminding you that you don’t have to wait until life feels ‘stable’ to go after something different. Sometimes, the departure is the destination.

Because travel doesn’t give you a new life. It gives you back the one you thought you lost.

Take a listen and let this episode be your reminder…. Your next chapter might start with a boarding pass… or it might start right where you are, with a single choice to move toward the woman you’re becoming.

We thought the magic would come after we healed, right?

But what if healing isn’t the end goal?

What if the real magic starts… when the chaos finally goes quiet?

In this raw, wildly relatable solo episode, I’m talking about what comes after the heartbreak, the breakdown, the paperwork…. and why your next chapter might be the one you’ve actually been waiting for.

Because healing isn’t a montage.

It’s crying in IKEA. It’s wondering if you need a lampshade or a life coach.

It’s feeling guilt, rage, relief…. all in one school run…. and still asking, who the f*ck am I now?

💬 In this episode we go all in on…..

• What healing actually feels like (hint: not peaceful at first)
  
  
• Why post-divorce identity is the real challenge
  
  
• The silent shame of not “bouncing back”
  
  
• Reclaiming your nervous system, your body, your voice
  
  
• The quiet moments where you realise: you’re not just surviving anymore…. you’re living
  
  

This one is for the woman….

⚡️ Still rebuilding, but craving more

⚡️ Starting to feel her fire again

⚡️ Wondering what life could look like without the old rules

And a gentle heads-up… There’s a shift coming to this podcast.

Because midlife isn’t a crisis….it’s a catalyst.

We’re about to step into deeper conversations on…. 💥 Desire, power, solo travel, sex, purpose, second f*cking chances

And if you’ve ever whispered, “I want more, but is it too late?” This is your invitation.

🎧 Plug in. Turn up. And let this be your permission slip to want more than just healing.

Because your next chapter doesn’t start with a breakup.

It starts with a decision.

What happens when the life you thought you’d live…. the parenting, the partnership, the picture… no longer fits?

In this refreshingly honest and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Vicki La Bouchardiere, a mother, author, and woman who’s made choices many wouldn’t dare voice… and has found peace on the other side.

This isn’t a story of reinvention.
It’s a story of honest evolution.

💬 In this conversation, we talk about….

✨ What happens when you’ve ticked every box… and still feel lost

✨ Why Vicki left a marriage for her children’s sake (and still carried the guilt)

✨ The emotional labour of motherhood no one validates

✨ Finding freedom in choices that others don’t agree with

✨ How to hold your truth when it threatens your role

🧠 For the woman who….

⚡ Is quietly drowning in a life that looks fine
⚡ Feels like a stranger inside the role of mother, partner, or peacemaker
⚡ Craves honesty over hustle, truth over performance, peace over proof

This episode isn’t a pep talk. It’s a permission slip.

To choose a different story….

Even if no one claps.
Even if you cry the whole way through.
Even if you’re the only one who understands it right now.

You can grab the free audio of Vicki’s book ‘How to Live With a Dickhead’ HERE

Plus, her Hypnotherapy page. Although Vicki specialises in helping business owners, she would be more than happy to talk to anyone from the Divorce Chapter/ Divorce Book Club.

Divorce didn’t just break your heart…. it f*cked with your body too. In this raw episode, we explore how trauma impacts your nervous system, your gut, your energy, and how to start healing from the inside out.

Ever felt like divorce didn’t just break your heart…. but also wrecked your body?

Same. Same.

In this powerful and honest episode, I’m talking about the side of healing no one ever warns you about… when trauma shows up in your nervous system, your gut, your energy, your immune system, and your ability to function like a normal bloody human.

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease following the stress of my divorce, I realised what so many of us are living through….

⚠️ Constant fight/flight/freeze/fawn
⚠️ Anxiety in the body
⚠️ Fatigue, flare-ups, inflammation
⚠️ Shame about not “bouncing back” fast enough

This episode talks you through…

🔥 What happens to your nervous system during chronic stress
🔥 Why symptoms like brain fog, IBS, and exhaustion are not in your head
🔥 What healing actually looks like….emotionally, physically, and even financially
🔥 The importance of rebuilding self-trust and nervous system safety
🔥 How books and community (aka the Divorce Book Club) become healing tools

It’s raw. It’s personal. It’s practical.
And if your body has been screaming louder than your ex lately…. this one’s for you.

And for more healing…. This month’s Book Club pick 📚
