This programme is about how YOU press play in business, in leadership and in life.
Imagine being part of a select group where growth, support, and transformation are guaranteed, where performance, potential and purpose hold hands with resilience.
Press Play isn’t just a programme - it’s your gateway to success, to your potential and your power in 2025. This 12 week coaching accelerator programme is delivered through 1-2-1 and group coaching, where energy and mindset mastery meets science and practical, real systems to unlock your potential, your power, your performance through mental models, practical frameworks, accountability and consistency.
Press Play is a powerful framework, an intimate support system, and a chance to create space and focus on you - the success of you. It’s where high achieving women, who aren’t done yet, who have more left, step out of constant survival mode into strategic success and purpose. You’ll get personal guidance from me, and together, we’ll break through the barriers holding you back. It’s personal, it’s where you truly unlock the power of you and your true potential.
There’s no masks required. It’s rooted in brain science.
Delivered with realism.
It’s your time to Choose It, Claim It, Live It.
It’s your time to be unashamedly, unprovoked, unshackled, unapologetically you. Imagine who you could be.
Let me show you how.
Let me take you from The Fixer into The Thriver - because you deserve to feel as successful on the inside as you look on the outside.
“Before I joined Sarah’s programme I felt I had lost myself professionally. Through this programme, I have shifted my mindset from a negative spiral to focus, clarity and working with my energy systems.”
It’s time to Press Play & Crack On.
For the woman who's holding up the sky. The fixer. The one who makes it all happen. The one everyone turns to when they need solutions, motivation, and a sprinkle of magic.
Press Play is a transformative 12-week accelerator that takes you from The Fixer to The Thriver - because it's time for you to wake up to the power you have, the value and potential you have at this stage in your life, leadership and business. One impacts the other.
As a high-achieving female leader, a woman of a certain age, a business owner, a female founder, aged 40+, you're part of something really blinking brilliant - the fastest-growing workforce demographic globally, projected to surpass one billion by 2025.
You've built huge experience and navigated a gazillion challenges. You’re ready to press play or would be if you weren’t awake at 3am googling how to sleep or make money or manage all the schizzle. At a time when you should be at the height of your powers, you're running headlong into obstacles that can knock you off course and undermine your confidence, your ability to cope; all the while wondering; who you even are anymore and what you stand for.
You’re excelling at everyone else's definition of success and yet you’re lying there awake at night, your brain fizzing feeling not very blinking successful even though you’ve ticked all those boxes of what “should” mean success.
Women I work with have had enough and they have decided to do differently to move from:
exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering how the blinking hec you’re going to do it all again
struggling to juggle the many demands across life, business, and leadership
measuring yourself against impossible and conflicting expectations as a woman, daughter, partner, mother, friend, and leader
prioritizing everyone else's needs before your own
surprised by the impact of perimenopause on your life, leadership and wondering if it’s menopause or some other hideous catastrophe
navigating the tricky dynamics of still going Old Boys Club, Mean Queens and New Kids on the Block
experiencing a backslide in confidence, despite your experience and credentials, with growing negative self-talk about your visibility, credibility, value, and relevance
You still have so much more to do, to give, to want to achieve, you feel you haven’t quite fulfilled your true potential - and you want it to feel right. What worked in your 20s and 30s ain’t going to cut it in your 40s and 50s - it’s time to differently.
This is exactly why this accelerator exists. With a combination of brain-science backed strategies and real-world implementation, our perfectly formed cohort of up to 20 women will spend 12 weeks together transforming how you approach business, life and leadership to unlock your true power.
Here's what makes this different:
This isn't about adding more to your plate (because I knowsit's full enough). This is about giving you the space, tools, and framework to emerge with:
Clear understanding of your unique thinking preferences and how to leverage them
Strategies for managing the complexities of midlife leadership, business
Renewed confidence in your value and visibility
Freedom from the exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing
A framework for balancing multiple life roles without burnout
Connection with a community of women who get it
It’s about redefining your identity and reclaiming your right to succeed on your own terms. No more second-guessing your value. No more carrying the weight of impossible expectations. No more dimming your light to make others comfortable.
Join us in Press Play. Because you deserve to thrive, not just survive. It's time to rewrite your story and step into the full power of your midlife business and leadership potential. It’s time to Press Play and Crack On.
I see you,
I feel you,
(I’ve been you).
Your calendar is beyond full, you cram meetings, fitness, performance into every single second and yet your cup is running on empty
Success feels hollow because it's built on external expectations
Your business identity has overshadowed your feeling of who you are and you’re not even sure how you define yourself anymore
You feel lost personally and professionally with the midlife collision coming at you from all angles
You’re constantly stuck in the weeds, never having any time to just stop and think because there’s always something to do
The mental load of midlife leaves little room for self-discovery, you know you need to do the WORK, you understand the work but there’s never any time to invest in yourself and the work and when there is that teeny weeny window of time, there’s sod all energy
You're masterfully solve everyone else's problems while postponing your own
Perfectionism has become both your shield and your prison
Let me take you…
from The Fixer.
to The Thriver.
Give me 12 weeks, and I'll give you the tools, frameworks, and mindset shifts to nail success on your terms.
Let me guess - you're the one everyone turns to. The problem solver. The magic maker.
You’re the woman who's:
Running a successful business or leading at a high level
Always scanning the horizon for danger
Making it all look effortless (while your mind never stops racing)
Being everyone else's cheerleader while being your own worst critic
The Fixer wishes that sometimes she could just run away and hide for a bit and someone would just take care of her for once. Someone would just take care of it all for once. She wishes someone would just make the decisions and it wasn’t always on her. She wishes that someone would get it, the worry, the niggles, the overwhelm, the lack of energy but she doesn’t ask for help.
The Fixer manages everyone else’s problems.
She runs the business, organises the holidays, brings the fun, runs to the shops, makes sure everyone is okay. She hides her own stress because she frankly doesn’t have time to think about herself. She’s too busy fixing, people pleasing and holding the sky up.
In her business, she is one people turn to, she’s the one that solves the problems, finds the solutions, motivates and brings the magic when no-one notices that her energy is dipping. She is always high performing, high achieving; to the rest of the world she is nailing it. She is everyone else’s cheerleader and champion. She is her own worst critic, thinking she needs to do more, better, faster.
Imagine if just for a moment; that in 12 weeks you moved from the fixer to having designed your life, your work to work for you, working within your energy systems; understanding how your brain energy systems work to work with your energy systems to create imapct.
Imagine if you worked within your strengths, you looked at what you are seeking to create and then accelerated your clarity, focus, productivity and resilience.

The price for your 12 week transformation and investment with priority access to additional tools and resources is £2,450.00. You can pay in installments. You can pay in full. You can transform your life, leadership and business; this isn't about adding more to your plate - it's about finally creating the space you deserve to think, breathe, and realign with who you are today.
This isn't about learning to "hustle harder" or becoming someone you're not. It's about creating success strategies that work with your brain's natural preferences. It's about redefining your identity and reclaiming your right to succeed on your own terms. It’s about accessing your value and potential with strategies designed to drive performance, peace and power.
This is about Pressing Play now and Cracking On with midlife without apology with strategies in place when life starts to life a bit too much.
The Truth Behind Your "I've Got This" Mask
You wish someone would just take care of things for once - just for a day
Your brain is constantly scanning for problems to solve (even with that cup of coffee you never finish)
You're running the business, bringing the fun, managing the holidays, sorting the shopping - and that's just before 9am
Your own stress? Hidden. Because who's got time for that when everyone else needs you? (or erupting constantly leaking out through anger, rage and resentment)
You're too busy fixing, people-pleasing, and quite literally holding up the sky
And here's what the research tells us: You're not alone. 50% of women in high-success roles report experiencing burnout - a number that's doubled since 2019. But you probably already knew that, didn't you?
Imagine...
Not being the only one who can fix everything
Having permission to put yourself first (without the guilt)
Finding your tribe of women who actually get it
Making decisions from a place of power, not pressure
Having a framework that makes success simpler (not just another thing on your to-do list)
Finally switching off that constant "on" button in your brain
Your brain not being constantly “at odds” with itself
Not being pulled in two very distinct directions
Not being lost in the chaos.
The transformation you’ll experience:
Through my proprietary ACCESS framework, you'll go:
FROM: A high-achieving woman silently carrying the weight of decisions and doubts
TO: A woman in business, a female founder who's found her place, where the mask can come off; who kicks down the doors on her terms
FROM: Scattered energy and fragmented focus, trying to figure it all out alone
TO: A woman with a clear framework for success, supported by daily accountability
FROM: Success that looks good on paper but leaves you depleted in reality
TO: An integrated approach where your whole self thrives – emotionally, physically and mentally
The real impact of Press Play.
Our members are experiencing breakthrough after breakthrough:
From Reactive to Responsive
"I'm pausing before reacting and catastrophizing - it's making such a difference." "I'm observing and noticing my emotions rather than immediately getting sucked in."
From Depleted to Energized
"I have come away with so much energy and have implemented so much - stuff I've been wanting to do for ages." "It's making me feel awake and turned on to myself and life."
From Stuck to Breakthrough
"This programme is really helping me navigate my situation. Sometimes it's been an uncomfortable and emotional process but now I'm seeing the emotions as signposts and data, not something I react to." "I had such a breakthrough."
From Lonely to Supported
"I love being part of what feels like a really wholesome support network of women dealing with similar challenges and have such immense wisdom to share." "Usually catching up feels like a chore but today it's been a choice and helped my mental wellbeing."
What makes this programme different?
"I started this programme completely burnt out - by the end of the programme I have reframed totally how I am working and I’ve broken up with a toxic working partner. I’ve made all these changes and wouldn’t have had the courage or tools had I not been working with Sarah.."
This programme brings together:
Emergenetics profiling - your scientific blueprint for success
NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) techniques for lasting change
Practical coaching tools you can use every day
A proven framework for personal and professional development
A community of like-minded women who get it
Inside Press Play, we change the game completely. This isn't just another coaching programme - it's a carefully crafted ecosystem designed for high-performing women who are done with running on empty.
“Before I joined Sarah’s Programme, I felt I had lost myself professionally. Through this programme, I have shifted my mindset from a negative spiral to focus, clarity and working with my energy systems.”
What Makes This Programme Different?
It's Rooted in Brain Science.
This is different.
This isn't just another coaching programme telling you to "find balance" or "write a journal." Press Play is grounded in over 30 years of scientific research with Emergenetics – an evolving psychometric tool that's going to transform how you understand yourself and others.
As part of the programme, you'll receive your own Emergenetics Profile - your personal blueprint for understanding how your brain naturally thinks and behaves. No more generic advice or one-size-fits-all solutions. This is about discovering YOUR unique operating system.
Your Emergenetics Profile is a practical, scientific framework that. Everyone on Press Play starts the programme with their Emergenetics Profile.
Reveals your natural thinking and behavioural preferences (no labels, just insights)
Shows you exactly how to tap into your inherent strengths
Helps you understand why certain situations drain you while others energize you
Gives you concrete tools for better communication and leadership; with yourself and others
Provides a foundation for sustainable high performance without burnout
“This is making me feel that this time I can make a lasting change, having known for so long; but having been stuck in perpetual fixer mode, which has kept me from recovering from burnout.”
My Why.
Why I Created This Programme Specifically for Fixers Like You.
After 30 years working with global businesses and 22 years of running a business and parenting, I've been that woman - the one making it all happen while silently wondering "is this it?" The one caught up in all the noise about what I think I should be doing based on what it looks like everyone else is doing.
Here's what I know: The most dangerous part of being The Fixer isn't the doing - it's the constant, crushing pressure of being the one everyone relies on. And the secret to changing that isn't another productivity hack or morning routine. It’s the playing small. It’s the constant, always on. It’s the worrying and the wondering ‘is this it?"‘ and then going again.
This programme is about turning down the noise in your head and finally hearing your own wisdom again. It's about creating space between everyone else's emergencies and your energy. Most importantly, it's about building success that doesn't require you to sacrifice yourself on the altar of achievement.
The Results Are Real.
You'll:
Stop being everyone's emergency response unit
Make decisions without second-guessing yourself
Know exactly who you are beyond your role as The Fixer
Have strategies that actually work for YOUR life
Feel supported instead of always being the supporter
Secure your spot now.

It’s a 12 week programme and you can pay in monthly installments or in three payments or one payment .
If I agree to accept payment by instalments and you fail to make any of the instalment payments on the due date then I shall invoice you immediately for the whole of the outstanding balance and payment for that invoice will be due by return. Paying in full is always more cost effective as I need to add to monthly or three-part payment plans due to the fees incurred by Stripe. I can also provide invoice based payment schedules.
-
If you have started the programme, I do not provide refunds to you for any of the payments you have made, even where you do not complete your sessions with me, as payment is for the programme as a whole, not individual sessions. This is a reflection of the amount of preparation I need to put into the programme and the time I set aside to provide you with these services. It also helps ensure you stay involved for the full 12 weeks getting the best out of you for the programme.

It’s simple. No big change is made alone. And no change happens overnight (no matter what Tik Tok says). You will benefit from day one, you will feel different from week one. To embed habits, practices for life, you will need to create new neural pathways, to rethink differently. Four months is the optimum time to make a real difference to how you move forward from today and every day after.
