But the first 20 of those were hard work with a 1:1 model of hourly sessions which led to burnout. She changed her business model and created a wildly successful online coaching business but the happy-ever-after didn't eventuate. The pandemic, getting sick, menopause and all the things piled high and she became detached from her business and her life. Sarah needed to get to work on herself, let go of 90% of what the 'gurus' had taught her and believe in herself enough to create her own path. She finally let go of being a good girl and allowed her inner maverick to have fun. The result was Radical Simplicity which is her brand and upcoming book. Sarah runs a multiple 6 figure business from home doing the work she loves in a few hours a day. Originally from Australia, she lives in beautiful West Cork in Ireland with her husband, 4 nearly grown-up kids, guide-dog breeder Indi & 2 badly behaved cats. Ebonie: Sarah, What is Sacrosanct to you? Sarah: 'Spaciousness in everything. Especially my schedule.' Ebonie: 'What do you see as the most important or valuable shift or change you've made for yourself in your adult life?.' Sarah: I finally listened to my body, put aside my ego, stop chasing fame, and finally get how precious my body and mind are.   Find Sarah here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_sarah_leather/ Website: https://thesarahleather.com/ If you have enjoyed the podcast, please rate, subscribe and leave us a review as it really helps more people find us.

Anne draws on her unique blend of word wizardry, intuition and industry experience to help entrepreneurs shape unique brand voices and messaging that draw their clients in like beacons in the night. She especially loves working with other neurodivergent business folk like her, because their spiky brains are an endless source of inspiration and delight.

Anne: "Seeking out and getting a diagnosis of ADHD drastically changed the way I see myself and how I understand my past behaviours and decisions.

In recent years she has also started her own journey with cold water exposure. Life brings many challenges, no more so than in the time of a global pandemic and it is understandable that at times we might look for support in facing them. As a counsellor my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self-discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it. Over the years I have developed an interest in neurodiversity and the impact it has on mental health, working with many clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger’s, ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia. Traumatic events from childhood can have lasting effects that may result in addictive behaviours. Numbing our pain helps us survive. Together we can start to explore healthier more enriched ways of living. I support women and their partners through menopause. This subject has been misunderstood and often ignored. Many women don’t realise the symptoms they are experiencing are due to peri-menopause/menopause.

We discuss in depth: - the importance of creating pockets of time for herself - life with PMDD and the impact it can have when people do not understand what is happening with their cycle - how she decided to choose herself and know that it was ok  - how not enough people are talking about the impact of ADHD on women and healthy dopamine hits  - womb clearing - the importance of discussing our cycles and PMDD with the men in our lives so that they have a true understanding of what is happening   If you would like to hear the next part of the conversation you can subscribe to 'Sacrosanct Secrets' my private podcast and hear me dig even deeper with my guests.

Sinead came into this work after years of struggling with her periods, emotions, and lack of pleasure in my life. As she started to learn about the womb wisdom that has been lost, she realised that it was all connected to our disconnection from our wombs and the magick that we hold there. Sinead now shares this wisdom with others across a range of different modalities and life phases. Sinead is passionate about getting this knowledge into the hands of young women, so that they can feel empowered transitioning into cyclical life.
