Sarah Giles’ delicate, balancing act is the constant juggling of motherhood, career and everything else. After a 15 year plus career in HR she quit in the lockdown, resigning from her head of HR position.

 “Looking from the outside, I probably looked like I had it all together, but inside I didn’t”.  I have to set clear boundaries, focus on being a mum and have time for myself as well.  “When you are so busy looking after other people it’s very easy to lose yourself in the process. We put our own self-care off . I’ve learnt so much about myself. A lot of that is through my own coaching journey. I think it’s things that I might not have ever done before.”  remarks Sarah. 

Sarah constantly asks herself the question “Who am I? “  She finds she is constantly evolving.   As soon as she gets to a place where she   thinks she is the person she wants to be, she discovers that she is growing again.   

During the pandemic she gathered the courage and bravery   to follow her passion, face her fears and stop worrying about judgment from others.

“Clarity around my values, beliefs and purpose helps me stay on track.  Launching “It starts with me” was a strange experience for me, I found it hard to be excited, having not done promotions before…   I stepped out of my comfort zone and I’ve learned a lot of lessons along the way.”

Sarah reminds us not to forget to celebrate our achievements. Little steps things that we might not think of as big are massive achievements.  Sometimes we forget that. 

“I dreamt of becoming an author and I did it.  You can too!”
