About Me
Iβm Sarah - and Iβm interested in joy.
My main goal?
To live my best life⦠and inspire others to do the same.
πΏ Wellbeing & Happiness
After a period of very poor mental health, I became deeply curious about what it really means to be happy.
Iβve read many books, listened to some awesome podcasts, watched inspiring content, and trained as both a Life Coach and a Mental Health First Aider. Iβve also attended incredible events including Tony Robbinsβ Unleash the Power Within and Fearne Cottonβs Happy Place Festival.
For me, happiness isnβt one big thing - itβs a collection of small, intentional choices:
taking care of my physical and mental health
making space for rest and self-care
feeling connected to nature
practicing gratitude and mindfulness
balancing achievement with fun
So many of us are stuck on a hamster wheel - focused on work, responsibilities, or our phones - without ever stopping to ask:
What actually brings me joy?
This space is your gentle reminder to wake up, live consciously, and start creating a life that feels good. You can read more of my happiness thoughts here β
π Spirituality & Witchcraft
Iβm drawn to the magic in life - the moon, crystals, oracle cards, the law of attraction, and modern witchcraft.
My spiritual journey is always evolving, and I love sharing what Iβm learning along the way. Read about my spiritual path here β
π Books
Iβm a bookworm - mostly romance and fantasy, but I enjoy a mix of genres including non-fiction.
I also spent several years as a romance author, writing seven novels and selling over 50,000 copies. While Iβve now βretiredβ from that chapter, it will always be a special part of my story.
If you love books too, come and chat with me on Instagram π
πΌ Business Owner
In 2016, I started a business - now a growing Ltd company with a small team - Continual Improvement Ltd - we support organisations with ISO management systems, compliance, and best practice.
If youβd told 2015-me that this would be my life, I honestly wouldnβt have believed you.
β¨ Fun, Days Out & Travel
I truly believe life is meant to be enjoyed.
Sometimes that looks like a quiet afternoon in the garden with a blanket, snacks, and a good book. Other times, itβs planning an epic road trip or exploring somewhere new.
I share my days out, mini breaks, and travels over on Instagram and in my travel blog β always with the aim of inspiring you to add a little more joy into your own life.
π A few Personal Things
Iβm a wife, stepmum, pawrent, daughter, sister, aunty, and friend.
Iβm a fur-mum to two adorable golden retrievers and one exceptionally good-looking cat πΎ
I live in a Northamptonshire village with a countryside view.
Iβm a Capricorn, and a Life Path Number 9 - the humanitarian.
Iβm (almost always) vegan - though I tend to be vegetarian when travelling.
My happy place is Scotland. If it wasnβt quite so far from the people I love, Iβd move there in a heartbeat π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
