    WHEN LIFE IS LIFE-ING: HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY BACK

    Progress isn’t always linear. September knocked me sideways. I experienced some of the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and while the physical symptoms were difficult, what surprised me most was what they triggered emotionally. When my health began affecting my work, an old fear resurfaced from a time in my life when I was too unwell to work at all. Suddenly, the internal dialogue started… What if I can’t do this? What if it gets worse? What if I lose everything I’ve worked so hard to rebuild? But there was one HUGE difference this time. I had tools. In this episode, I’m getting vulnerable about what happened, why it affected me so deeply and how more than a decade of working on my mindset, confidence and self-image helped me respond differently instead of spiralling. We’re talking about slowing down, asking for help, listening to your body, going caffeine-free (yes, apparently I can survive 😂), and recognising that sometimes the strongest thing you can do isn’t push harder — it’s listen. Because I teach confidence and self-image, but apparently that doesn’t give me immunity from life life-ing. 😂 And confidence isn’t about becoming someone who never struggles. It’s about building enough trust in yourself to know that when life knocks you sideways, you can find your way back. In this episode, I also give you three questions to ask yourself when life is life-ing: ✨ What is this situation bringing up in me — and is my reaction about what’s happening now, or something I’ve experienced before? ✨ What do I actually need right now — not what I think I should be doing? ✨ If I trusted myself to navigate this, what would I do differently today? And your action step? Take ONE thing off your plate today. Don’t add another habit, another goal or a 12-step morning routine. 😂 Create some space. Ask for help. Rest. Say no. Slow down. Growth can be messy. Progress can wobble. And sometimes moving forward looks completely different from what we imagined. You’re not necessarily going backwards. You might simply be being asked to listen. 🤍 If this episode finds you in a season where life really is life-ing, I hope it reminds you of just how much strength you already have.

    FROM BURNOUT TO BELIEVING IN MYSELF: My Full-Circle EmpowHER Moment

    ✨ I’M SPEAKING AT EMPOWHER 2026! ✨ This episode is a very special full-circle moment. But first - what a month September has been on The Mindset Model Podcast! We’ve had some incredible guest experts sharing their stories, wisdom and reminders of what can happen when you choose yourself, trust the nudges and go for the life you actually want. If you missed any of September’s guest episodes, make sure you go back and listen! Now for some VERY exciting news… I’m officially speaking at EmpowHER 2026! 🎤✨ And there’s a much bigger story behind this announcement. In 2025, I was doing all the things - building, creating, working, pushing - but behind the scenes, I was burnt out. My energy was low and I knew something needed to change. Then I met the incredible Nikki Antonaccio, who invited me to the EmpowHER event. And it genuinely changed my life. I met incredible women and learnt so much about hormones, health, wellbeing, energy and managing overwhelm. But one of the biggest lessons I took away was this: ✨ You can be healthy AND do the things. Success and wellbeing don't have to compete with each other. And now, one year later, I'm going back to EmpowHER - except this time, I'M SPEAKING! 😭🎤 I'll be delivering my Confidence Masterclass and sharing my proven four-step framework for building EPIC confidence. My mission? For every woman in that room to leave believing in herself more than she did when she walked in. Because confidence changes what you believe is possible for your life. And looking after yourself isn't something you have to earn once you've achieved everything else. Your wellbeing is PART of creating the life you want. You can join EmpowHER in person or virtually -  visit my Instagram page themindsetmodel_ bio click the event link to secure your space. I cannot WAIT to take you behind the scenes and share how it all goes! And I'll leave you with this week's Mindset Model question: ✨ What is one little step you can take TODAY to put your wellbeing first? It doesn't have to be dramatic. One walk. One boundary. One early night. One moment to breathe. One decision that says, “I matter too.” Your biggest dreams need you well enough to enjoy them. 💫 Support the show ✨ FOLLOW THE MINDSET MODEL Want more mindset shifts, manifestation magic and reminders that you are, in fact, capable of creating an absolutely fabulous life? 🌐 Website: www.themindsetmodel.co.uk  🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@themindsetmodel?si=LTPfSyYcMjRzKjBT 📱 Instagram: @TheMindsetModel_ If you loved this episode, like, subscribe, follow and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    If you feel like you are not doing enough - listen to this!

    What if the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough… what if you’ve simply forgotten to notice everything you’ve already done? I recently had one of those pinch me moments while creating a reel featuring clips from my speaking, presenting, acting and modelling work. I was putting it together when suddenly it hit me: 2017 Sara would be absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this. And the funny thing is, when you're living it day by day, you don't always notice how far you've come. So in this episode, I'm taking you back through my story — especially for those of you who are new to The Mindset Model — and sharing why I genuinely believe mindset, confidence and self-image can change the direction of your life. I am my own best testimonial. My life didn't transform overnight. There wasn't one magical moment where everything suddenly fell into place. It was built through hundreds of tiny decisions, uncomfortable steps, unexpected opportunities, moments of self-doubt, following little nudges and choosing to keep going even when I couldn't see where it was all leading. Because sustainable success takes time. And I want you to try something after listening. Think about you in 2017. If that version of you could suddenly appear in your life today, what would they be amazed by? What have you achieved, survived, created, changed or become that you've now completely normalised? Maybe you haven't reached every dream yet. But look how far you've already come. Keep going. Keep choosing yourself. Keep taking the little steps. Keep following those nudges. Because one day, you might look around at the life you've created and have your own… PINCH ME MOMENT. ✨ 🎧 Listen to The Mindset Model Podcast 📺 Watch on YouTube ✨ Follow The Mindset Model for mindset, confidence, self-image and a reminder that there is always more possible for you.

    More than cacao. A ritual that could transform how you feel, think and live - With Lenka Powell

    What happens when the life that looks successful on the outside… no longer feels successful on the inside? This week on The Mindset Model Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Lenka Powell, founder of Cacaopura and Yoga with Lenka, for a conversation about burnout, intuition, cacao, visualisation and having the courage to create a completely different way of living. After 15 years working in the corporate and creative world with global brands including Unilever and Vodafone, Lenka reached a point where she knew something had to change. She was walking around the office barefoot, one day she thought “F** this shit.”She made the decision and followed that inner knowing all the way to India, where she trained in yoga and meditation in Rishikesh. And that was just the beginning. We talk about the powerful visualisation that later became part of the imagery behind Cacaopura, Lenka’s mission to bring ancient cacao rituals into modern everyday life, and the fascinating compounds in cacao associated with feelings of wellbeing and bliss. We also explore what it really means to redefine success. Because Lenka’s meetings these days look VERY different… Forget stuffy, air-conditioned boardrooms — she takes her team on cacao walks! In this episode, we explore: ✨ Knowing when you've outgrown your current version of success ✨ Burnout and listening when your body is asking for change ✨ Lenka's decision to leave corporate life and travel to India ✨ Yoga, meditation and reconnecting with your intuition ✨ The visualisation that helped inspire Cacaopura ✨ What ceremonial cacao actually is ✨ Cacao, wellbeing and the so-called “bliss molecule” ✨ Bringing ancient rituals into our busy modern lives ✨ Building a business and life that actually feels good ✨ Why success gets to look completely different for YOU 🎁 EXCLUSIVE MINDSET MODEL LISTENER OFFER Want to experience Cacaopura for yourself?

You don't have to keep living a life simply because it's the life you once chose. You're allowed to change. You're allowed to want more. And you're allowed to create success on your own terms.  Support the show ✨ FOLLOW THE MINDSET MODEL Want more mindset shifts, manifestation magic and reminders that you are, in fact, capable of creating an absolutely fabulous life? 🌐 Website: www.themindsetmodel.co.uk  🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@themindsetmodel?si=LTPfSyYcMjRzKjBT 📱 Instagram: @TheMindsetModel_ If you loved this episode, like, subscribe, follow and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    From creativity and intuition to building a life around what you love - With Global Clay Artist Emy Oikawa

    What happens when you listen to the little voice telling you to create, keep going and follow what lights you up? In this inspiring episode of The Mindset Model Podcast, I’m joined all the way from Wellington, New Zealand by Japanese-Colombian clay artist Emy Oikawa for a beautiful conversation about creativity, intuition, mindset and having the courage to follow your dreams. Meet Emy Raised in Medellín, Colombia, Emy’s creative journey began at just 15 years old when an art teacher gave her some clay and simply asked her to create. While everyone else sculpted three-dimensional pieces, Emy did something completely different — she created a flat, textured piece of clay. As she was leaving the classroom, her teacher stopped her and said: “You should frame that.” One small moment of encouragement planted a seed. Emy continued experimenting, developing and refining her craft until she created her own signature textured clay art style. Today, from her home in Wellington, New Zealand, she has built a growing international art practice, creates commissions for collectors locally and internationally, runs Mindful Clay Art Workshops and has held her first solo exhibition in Wellington. Her work is described as “Soulful clay art to elevate your space and spirit” — combining nature, meaningful statements and messages of love, belief, intuition and personal transformation. But this conversation goes far beyond art. We talk about the journey behind the dream. How do you keep believing in something before you know where it's going? How do you listen to your intuition? How do you make space for creativity while navigating motherhood, business and everyday life? And what could happen if you stopped focusing on the worst possible outcome and started asking: What would I truly LOVE to happen? In this episode, we explore: How one comment from Emy’s art teacher planted the seed for her futureFollowing your creativity even when your path looks different from everyone else’sMoving from Colombia to New Zealand and building a new lifeThe journey from creating art to becoming an internationally recognised artistThe milestone of holding her first solo exhibition in WellingtonBalancing motherhood, creativity and growing a businessWhy meditation, visualisation, gratitude and breathwork are part of Emy’s lifeHow nature and the landscapes of New Zealand inspire her workLearning to trust your intuitionWhy focusing on the best possible outcome can completely shift your energyThe connection between creativity, self-belief and personal growthGiving yourself permission to follow what genuinely lights you up Your dream might be closer than you think. ✨ Connect With Emy & Discover her work  Explore Emy’s soulful clay art, original pieces, prints and commissions  Website: https://ecloart.nz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecloart/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ecloart See Emy at the Wellington Art Show!

    Create Success on Your Own Terms: 3 Mindset Shifts to Take the Pressure Off

    What if you stopped chasing someone else's definition of success… and started creating your own? ✨ After a few weeks away from the podcast, I'm BACK — and this break gave me a pretty big mindset shift. I'd been putting so much pressure on myself to do more, achieve more and be further ahead that I had forgotten something incredibly important: There is no universal definition of success. So why are we constantly measuring ourselves against one? In this episode of The Mindset Model, I'm sharing 3 mindset shifts to help you take the pressure off, stop comparing your timeline and create success on YOUR terms. ✨ In this episode: 1. Define YOUR version of success If nobody else could see your life, what would make you feel successful? Freedom? Slow mornings? Travel? Family? Meaningful work? Creativity? Peace? Impact? Money? All of the above?! We're taking success off the pedestal and asking what a genuinely successful life looks and feels like to you. 2. Turn comparison into possibility Social media should not be your benchmark for success. We're surrounded by other people's achievements, milestones, businesses, bodies, relationships and highlight reels — and it's incredibly easy to start wondering whether we're behind. But somebody else's timeline has absolutely nothing to do with yours. Instead of using someone's success as evidence that you're behind, what if you used it as evidence of what's possible? Social media can be your vision board — not your scoreboard. 3. Build a life you don't need to rush through You don't need to desperately chase your dream life. Sometimes the gripping, forcing and “I need to be there NOW” energy is exactly what stops us enjoying everything we've already created. I also share what's been happening behind the scenes for me recently — including the pressure I'd been putting on myself because I couldn't spend as much time on my business as I thought I should. Yet when I actually looked at what was happening, the organic growth was incredible. A beautiful reminder that progress is still happening even when you're not constantly pushing. This episode is your permission slip to dream BIG, want more and create an extraordinary life — while enjoying the person you are and the life you have right now. You are not behind. You don't need to follow somebody else's timeline. And you definitely don't need to exhaust yourself trying to prove that you're successful. Your life. Your timeline. Your definition of success. ❤️ 🎧 If this episode gave you the mindset shift you needed today, share it with someone who needs the reminder that they're doing better than they think.

    Does It Ever Feel Like You're Climbing a Mountain?

    Does it ever feel like you're climbing a mountain? You're working hard, showing up every day, chasing your dreams… yet it still feels like there's so much further to go. In this episode of The Mindset Model, I share three powerful lessons that completely shifted my perspective this week. We explore why we often forget to celebrate how far we've already come, how the beliefs we hold about ourselves quietly shape every decision we make, and why so many ambitious people get caught in the trap of high performer syndrome—constantly striving, achieving and proving, yet never feeling like it's enough. I also introduce the two principles that have become the foundation of The Mindset Model: ✨ Embodied Authority – learning to trust yourself, choose yourself and lead your own life with confidence. ✨ Expansive Success – redefining success as more than achievements, creating a life filled with freedom, peace, purpose and joy. If you've ever felt like you're constantly climbing but never arriving, this episode is a reminder to pause, turn around and recognise the incredible mountain you've already climbed. Because the version of you today is standing exactly where a previous version of you once dreamed of being. You are what you believe.
