I’m Sarah and I started my own business so that I could have the freedom and flexibility to be there for my family. For me, success is raising happy, healthy kids, having a happy marriage, enjoying my work, and feeling content with my health and home. Join us as we discuss motherhood and business, how to find the right balance, how to make the most of our time, how to be content with our own level of success, and how to make, and fulfil our own personal goals. As well as giving business and lifestyle tips, we will hear the stories of ordinary women like you and me, sharing their wisdom.
