Back in 2019, my business looked '𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹' from the outside.
Clients, full diary, work I loved.

But behind the scenes, I was constantly busy, reactive, and exhausted.
I had no space to think or plan - and I kept asking myself:

“𝙄𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙?”

It wasn’t a problem with my work ethic or motivation - it was that I’d never been shown how to step back, design my business intentionally and work with impact, not just hours.

Working with a coach, I started combining mindset work with clear business strategy, and 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱. My business became calmer, clearer, and more sustainable - and I finally felt like I was running it to support my life, not the other way around.

That’s exactly why I’m hosting a 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 on Friday 1st May. A small, in-person day for service-based business owners who want to step back, gain clarity, and create a business that grows without burning out.

📍 Spithurst Hub, Barcombe, East Sussex
�📅 1st May, 10am – 4pm

Alice Thomson is living proof that you don’t have to follow the neat, straight-line career path to build something meaningful.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?

For me, it’s not just numbers or titles.

It’s also freedom.
It’s also adventure.
It’s also protecting my peace.
It’s also making an impact with the people I work with.
It’s also having the time and energy to do the things I love.

Success is being able to choose what I do on a Tuesday afternoon (and what a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon it was ☀️).

It’s saying no to what drains you.
It’s saying no to the “can you just…” requests.
It’s protecting your time like it matters.

Because it does.

My time and energy are my most precious - and most protected - resources.

That is success.

This is exactly what I help my clients do: redefine success on their own terms, whether that’s growing a business, changing careers, or reclaiming their time.

Your personal brand is SO much more than your logo.

It’s not your colour palette.
It’s not your Canva graphics.
It’s not even your perfectly curated grid.

It’s how you show up.

This morning in the gym, I’ve just watched a personal trainer coaching a client. He turned up late. Looked scruffy. Spent half the session on his phone. Low energy. Unfocused. Unprofessional.

I’ve never worked with him.
I don’t know his qualifications.
I don’t know his results.

But within 20 minutes?

I knew he wasn’t a PT I would use. Or recommend.

That’s personal brand.

Your personal brand is:
• How you show up
• When you show up
• The energy you bring into a room
• How prepared you are
• How present you are
• How you hold space for people
• Whether you make it about them… or about you

It’s not just your appearance - it’s your standards.

It’s not unloading your problems onto clients.
It’s not scrolling while someone is paying for your expertise.
It’s not cutting corners when you think no one is paying attention.

Because someone always is.

Even when you think they’re not.

The lesson this reminded me of?

Integrity is your real marketing strategy.

You don’t build a powerful reputation through content alone. You build it through consistency. Through professionalism. Through the small moments where you choose excellence over ease.

Your brand isn’t what you say it is.

It’s what people experience.

So the question is - if someone observed you for 20 minutes today… what would they say about your brand?

You can be fit, capable, successful - and still quietly exhausted. (If you’re nodding, hello and yes, I've been there too 🙋‍♀️)

Life can feel full in all the 'good' ways… and yet somehow relentless. Work, family, social life, being a decent human - and at some point you’re meant to rest? Breathe? Think?

In the latest episode of the 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 podcast, I'm chatting about the power of retreats - not the fluffy, floaty kind of retreats, but the ones that actually do something. The kind that give you space to think, reset your nervous system and come back clearer, calmer and slightly more yourself.

I’m joined by Dan Hughes and Chantelle Manz (two excellent humans and my co-instructors on 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲), and we talk about why time away - with movement, adventure, nature, laughter, great food and good company - can be genuinely transformational.

We cover how retreats help people:

🛑 drop out of constant 'doing' mode
🧠 think more clearly
🤍 reconnect - with themselves and others
✨ come back energised, not depleted

If you’re busy but intentional, adventurous but tired and craving space - not because you’re broken, but because you’re human - this episode is for you 😉

💬 Comment '𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧' and I’ll send the episode straight to your inbox.

Perfect listening for a walk, a commute or that rare quiet moment with a cuppa.

Sarah.

PS - my retreat for 2026, 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 does crack a mention. Just planting a small seed 😉 )

As a performance psychologist, I’m passionate about helping people perform at their best, grow their businesses sustainably and reconnect with themselves. That’s why I created the 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 – a supportive space for outdoorsy business owners who want to scale without burning out.

I also run 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 - outdoor events in Sussex and week-long wilderness retreats across the UK designed for anyone who wants adventure, wellbeing and perspective.

I spent last week ski touring in France and accidentally remembered that life is meant to be lived... 🙃🙃🙃

Somewhere between the type-2 fun (hiking the height of Ben Nevis on skis felt pretty intense at the time), stacking it repeatedly and skiing in a complete white-out, plus the fresh powder and incredible mountain views, it became very clear to me that for me, this isn’t a “couple of weeks a year” situation.

The mountains put things into perspective in a way nothing else does. They’re my happy place - inconveniently so when you currently live in the UK 😏

This week also taught me something I probably already knew but needed reminding of: don’t wait, don’t settle and don’t assume the thing you want is unrealistic. Go for it. Find a way. Work it out as you go.

Massive love to the incredible women I met last week for inspiring me to also choose adventure, back myself and to follow my own path, even when it doesn’t quite fit the script.

BRB - already planning my next (long-term) mountain escape 😁

❄️ 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! ❄️

I can hardly believe I’m saying this, this will be the fourth year I’ve been hosting retreats - and every single time, I’m reminded why I do it.

Watching people slow down, reconnect with themselves, finish an epic hike, or throw themselves into a cold mountain loch (yes, really 😏) never fails to fill me with joy.

It’s the ultimate reset, transformation, and immersive experience - fully in person, in real life, away from screens, Zoom calls, and endless ‘circling back.’

Think:

Crisp mountain air ✅
Big skies ✅
Incredible views ✅
Breath work, hiking, and wild adventures ✅
Cozy fires, wood-fired saunas, nourishing food, live music… and time to just breathe... ✅

This retreat is for anyone who wants a proper pause from the everyday, a bit of adventure, and the chance to connect with like-minded humans - while the Highlands of Scotland do their magic.

📍 Perthshire, Scotland
📅 28th Nov – 4th Dec

✨ Spots are limited - so grab your spot now and your future self will high-five you (and maybe thank you for those loch plunges).

💌 DM '𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧' for all the details and booking form

Let’s step into winter with intention, laughter, and a little Highland fun!

Just before Christmas, I recorded such a special conversation with Kate Gray - our incredible Big Sky Adventures retreat caterer and a true wellness all-rounder.

In this episode, Kate shares her journey from professional dance to training as a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic consultant, and how she unexpectedly found her way into catering. We talk honestly about the highs, the hard moments, and the pivots that shaped her grounded, holistic approach to life and work.

This episode is full of insight, inspiration, and a real behind-the-scenes look at what it means to start again and build something aligned.
