Maybe it’s a gift to mark a milestone. Maybe you’re doing it just for you — because yes, you absolutely must celebrate your body. Maybe it’s a quantum leap into the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to be.

Whatever the reason — you’re in.

And as if the decision to commit, and book your very own body confidence photoshoot wasn’t brave enough… the question now is:

“What do I wear?”

If you’re stuck somewhere between “something sexy” and “I have no idea what suits me,” this guide is for you.

Because boudoir photography isn’t about stepping on set and performing.
It’s not about pretending,  or wearing what someone else considers sexy.
It’s about choosing pieces that make you feel most yourself — and capturing an image that shows you at your most confident.

And that starts with lingerie.

This Is Not About Dressing Up for Someone Else

Yes, many women gift their images to a partner.
Yes, lots of women like to bring a little high-glamour edge into the mix.

But behind that, most of the women I work with — whether they’re celebrating a birthday, a break-up, or a personal reinvention — are doing this for themselves.

And it shows.

There’s a quiet power in choosing to be photographed.
To have your image captured — intimately, luxuriously — on your terms, with confidence.

That doesn’t come from last-minute panic-buying something sparkly from the high street.
It comes from understanding what actually works — on your body, for your energy, and in front of the lens.

Why Lingerie is 80% of the Shoot

Over the years, photographers I’ve worked with have said the same thing, time and again:

“When she’s worked with you, she arrives 80% shoot-ready.”

That’s because the right lingerie doesn’t just flatter — it transforms.

When you’ve had a personal lingerie fitting with someone who knows how to read the lines of your body and match them to styles you never thought you could wear? That’s where the magic is.

You’re not second-guessing yourself.
You’re not fiddling with straps or tugging at seams.
You’re not standing in front of a mirror awkwardly wondering, “Does this actually suit me?”

You know it does.

You walk onto set connected to your body — confident, ready, and open to the experience.

Because we’ve curated each look with intention. Not just to look good, but to feel like you.
Your energy, your story, your signature style — dialled all the way up.

What Actually Works on Camera (and What Doesn’t)

You’ve chosen a boudoir photography you trust — someone with an eye for detail and creative expertise for artfully creating shapes and capturing angles that flirt shamelessly with the camera. And your lingerie plays a starring role.

Here’s what photographs beautifully:

• Textures: silk, satin, lace or (if it’s your vibe) high-gloss PVC
• Clean lines and high-quality finishes
• Directional panelling or sheer details to enhance shape
• Showgirl pieces you might not pick for ‘everyday: basques, bodysuits, babydolls, catsuits, corsets, kimonos — pieces that empower
• Simple layers: a robe, oversized shirt, or a whisper of chemise

And what doesn’t?

• Ill-fitting bras (the ones with gaps, bulges, or where you’re constantly re-adjusting)
• Overly fussy details that fight with the light — like glitter, rhinestones, or too many frills
• Tight elastic that digs in or creates lines where you don’t want them
• Fabrics that wrinkle, bunch or shift when you move

Bottom line? If it doesn’t fit like a second skin and make you feel next-level, it’s not the piece.

You Might Be Shocked by What Suits You (In the Best Possible Way)

One of the most common things I hear after a boudoir fitting session is:

“I would never have picked this for myself… but oh my god — I love it.”

And that’s the point.

My job isn’t to throw a pile of lingerie at you and see what sticks.
It’s to gently pull you out of your default choices and into a look that’s undeniably yours.
To help you see yourself through a different lens — literally.

We try things on. We style with intent. We fit to perfection.
We find the look (or looks) that reveal a version of you that’s been waiting to take centre stage.

Who Are You Channeling? 

Articulating how you want to look or feel, or sharing intimate details of the woman you want to be doesn’t always come easy. 

Which is why before we even begin looking at lingerie together I ask:
“Who do you want to be?” Who’s style or vibe do you admire?
Is there a muse, mood, or look you’re particularly drawn to?

Every woman has one. Maybe yours is a Rebel Romantic — dark, edgy feminine with a get back stare.
Maybe you’re a Date Night Diva exploring bold designs and delicate details that make special occasions unforgettable.
Or maybe you’re stepping into your Comeback Queen era — celebrating strength and sensuality in statement pieces that say “I’m back.”

We work to that energy.

You don’t need to pretend to be someone else.
You just need to lean into the most playful, provocative, and irresistible version of you.

And sometimes… that means discovering a whole new side you never knew existed.

You Deserve This

You’re not here to look like a lingerie model.
You’re here to look like you — real, radiant, aged, elegant, empowered, undressed.

A boudoir photo shoot is a celebration. It’s a love letter to yourself.
And the lingerie you wear should rise to meet that moment.

If you’d like my help in choosing pieces that feel like your kind of iconic, I offer personal fittings and curated styling sessions — in person or virtually.

I’ve worked with dozens of photographers and thousands of women to help make this part of the process effortless, empowering, and genuinely exciting.

The world of lingerie is vast, breathtaking, exciting, and can be overwhelming too.
With so many stunning independent brands and artists creating for every kind of body and occasion, it can be hard to know where to start. 

That’s why I work one-to-one with clients to uncover their signature lingerie look—curating unexpected, not-on-the-high-street pieces that align with their unique energy, expression, and celebration. It’s never about following trends. It’s about uncovering the kind of lingerie you didn’t even know existed—but can’t imagine getting undressed without.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Reinvention is like the rhythm of the tide—ever-changing, always moving, and always bringing something new. Some moments feel quiet, like the ocean’s calm, while others are filled with bursts of inspiration and growth, like the waves crashing on the shore. It’s a constant ebb and flow, each shift bringing us closer to the next chapter.

For me, every big shift in my life has started with a vision. Whether it was the time I took off on a spontaneous three-month sabbatical to Australia, which turned into a five-month quantum leap tour that changed everything, or how my business—and how I show up for clients—has evolved time and time again. Each change has always been sparked by an idea, an image, or a moment of inspiration that made me think, “Yes. That!”

For me, visioning isn’t just a concept—it’s a practice. I don’t just think about the next chapter. I build it, piece by piece. Take a peek inside my personal vision board for tips on how you can too.

My Visioning Ritual (and Why It Works)

I’ll admit it: I’m old-school. I love scrapbooks. There’s something so satisfying about physically collecting images, quotes, textures, and colours—anything that aligns with my vibe, or the energy I want to bring to life.  If it’s tactile, tangible, 3D, I’m keeping it. My books are filled with moments of the future me, and I reference them over and over again. Reminding myself of the bigger picture and stoking the fire that keeps me moving forward.

And then, of course, there’s Pinterest.

I have many boards—from Lingerie Style, Wedding Night & Honeymoon Lingerie, and Beach Outfits and Swimwear Style, to Empowering Quotes, Personal Growth, and How to Grow a Business. 

And that’s just my public-facing ones! I have dozens upon dozens more for private projects and inspirations.

If you want to see what’s inspiring me right now—the styles, the energy, the mood boards that shape what I bring to life—you can follow me on Pinterest here.

Act As If (Because That’s Where the Magic Is)

What I’ve learned — working through my own evolutions and witnessing reinvention in my clients as we work together to bring their goals and visions to life:

Don’t wait until the dream is “ready.”
You do not need permission.
You don’t wait to become the woman you want to be. 

You act as if she’s already here—the fantastic future version of you.

The one who walks with CEO energy. Who went from side hustle to thriving business. Who dresses for the day she wants, not the one she’s settling for.

You show up like the woman who owns the room. The woman who speaks with clarity, moves with purpose, and makes decisions like she trusts herself.

Because the energy you embody now is the energy that shapes what happens next. And when you move through the world like the woman you’re becoming? That’s when the magic happens.

This is alignment. A conscious manifestation of being the woman you dream of becoming, right here, right now. And it’s this shift in mindset that creates space for the next wave of energy to enter your life and lift you higher.

Because when you act as if, it becomes real. It is real. 

Step into that energy now. Not at some fantasy future milestone, but today.

So Let’s Make it Real

If you’re ready to bring your vision to life, start here:

Go to Pinterest (or your own inspiration space) and find one image that represents the energy you want to bring into your life. It could be a look, a colour, a place, or a mood—whatever speaks to you.

Save it. Pin it. Print it. Let it be the seed.

Want to share it? DM it to me or tag me on Pinterest, @SarahCReinvents. I’d love to see what’s lighting you up.

Let this be the moment to stop dreaming and start becoming exactly who we want to be. This isn’t about a perfect plan—it’s about those daily actions that connect us to the future we’re creating.

Every moment is a chance to shape your vision, and every choice you make builds on the next. 

Let’s go

The post How to Create a Vision Board That Actually Works (And Brings Your Dreams to Life) appeared first on Sarah Connelly.

You’ve found the courage to open up and tell someone you trusted, hoping they’d pile in with excitement and enthusiasm that matched yours. 

Hoping they’d meet you in that moment of wild possibility.

And all they could say was: “You’ve got this.”

I’ve been there. 

Not only did it not help me believe I could do it, have it, be it — it took the wind right out of my sails.

In fact, being told “you’ve got this”, feels like exactly the opposite.

It’s the verbal equivalent of a limp high-five. A polite smile. A shrug.
It’s a well-meaning but lazy sidestep from someone who doesn’t know what to say — or worse, can’t be bothered to say something real.

It’s meant to sound like support, but it lands like disinterest.
A pat on the back when what you actually want is was someone to grab your hand, eyes wide with excitement and say:

“Yes! I love this for you — tell me more!”

You’re Not Looking for a Cheerleader

You’re looking for a co-conspirator.
A wingwoman. A strategist.
A Fairy Godmother with a sharp eye and a bias for brilliance.

Someone who doesn’t just tell you to believe in yourself — but shows up beside you and helps you turn that glimmer of self-belief into actual magic.

Why “You’ve Got This” Isn’t Helping (And What to Say Instead)

When you’re building something bold — whether it’s a business, a brand, a next-level lifestyle, or a lingerie drawer that feels like a celebration of who you really are— you don’t need vague encouragement. 

You need confidence.
Action.
Actual co-creation.

That’s where I come in.

I’m not here to throw you a mantra and move on.
I’m here to roll up my sleeves, pour us a glass of something delicious to get the creativity flowing, and sit with you and say:

“Tell me more. What do you need? What’s the dream—and how do we bring it to life?”

Because your vision is incredible!
It’s exciting, and bold, and mind-blowing.
And it deserves more than a back-pat and a cliché.

It deserves support that’s smart, elegant, nuanced — and actually makes things happen.

What Real Support Sounds Like

So in the spirit of real, meaningful support, let’s rewrite the script.
Here’s what I say instead of “you’ve got this”:

• “That’s a brilliant idea! Wanna make it real?”

• “I totally see this for you— how can I help you get there?”

• “This has your name all over it. Want some help to make it happen?”

• “You’re onto something here. What does the next bold (but do-able) move look like?”

This is how I show up.
Not on the sidelines. But right there beside you — sleeves rolled, enthusiasm engaged, and always with strategy on hand.

This Isn’t Cookie-Cutter. It’s Custom.

Every client I work with gets bespoke support — not just because it’s more beautiful (though it is), but because it’s more true.

Whether we’re building your brand, refining your client experience, reimagining your offerings, or reviving your confidence — I’m adapting everything I do to you. Your voice. Your values. Your vision.

And if you’ve ever worked with me, you know this isn’t just talk.

Just ask Emma:

“I’ve found your questions and your thoughts very considerate… you’ve always really considered everything that we’ve said and responded with something very valuable and helpful.”

Or Richard:

“You’ve given me a really good action to try and push forward… several, actually.”

Or Susie:

“Now I’m energised and FULL of ideas—thank you!” 

So the next time someone says “You’ve got this,”

Pause.

And remember:
You don’t need empty encouragement. Or lipservice from someone who hasn’t been where you are— or aspires to where you want to get to.

You need a plan. A partner. And a wildly personalised approach that makes your dream feel not just possible — but inevitable.

And that’s where I come in.

Whether you’re dreaming of:

Building a business that finally feels aligned and luxurious on your terms

Reconnecting with your purpose after a creative dry spell

Or slipping into lingerie that makes you feel radiant and irresistible

Begin your reinvention with a complimentary Breakthrough Session or an inspiring Uncover Your Signature Lingerie Looks session and let’s make this real.

The post Why “You’ve Got This” Isn’t Helping (And What to Say Instead) appeared first on Sarah Connelly.

And one of my favourite excuses to embrace that energy?
Birthdays. Milestones. Moments worth making magical.

Whether it’s my own birthday or just an ordinary Tuesday in need of a glow-up, I love creating a vibe and curating experiences that feel intentional, indulgent, and fully lit up.

Want more magic in your life? Start with this one simple mindset shift

At the end of 2023, I’d just returned from five months in Australia—five months of consciously crafting life exactly as I wanted it. The trip wasn’t funded by a lottery win or trust fund. It was an experimental leap of faith, fuelled purely by vision, intention, and a little creativity with the resources I had.

It was five high-vibe months of living the way I dreamed of living: close to the ocean, making bold choices, and consciously (but playfully) curating new ways to show up everyday that made me feel wildly alive.

So when I landed back in Edinburgh, conscious I didn’t want to slip into the same habits and routines, I made a promise to always ask myself:

If I were in my fantasy location today… what would I do?
Instead of feeling stuck, I started dreaming.

And this question became my compass.

Enter: The Good Times Goddess

She’s bold. She’s bougie. She’s got a trippy alcohol-free cocktail in one hand, a killer outfit in the other, and a phone reminder that says:

“How can I celebrate this moment in a way that’s sexy AF and full of joyful fun?”

In my ultimate fantasy? I’d be on a rooftop in Ibiza, surrounded by fabulous friends, dancing to disco as the sun sets over the sea.

But I’m also a realist with a wild imagination. So I work backwards from the dream.

And if you want more magic in your life. You can do this too.

Reinvention Doesn’t Require a Plane Ticket

One of my favourite recent celebrations didn’t happen on a tropical island—but in Glasgow. I wandered alleyways bursting with vibrant street art, connected with strangers at a local art festival, slipped into a hidden speakeasy for a delicious cocktail, and wrapped it all with a delicious dinner.

It wasn’t a Balearic sunset. But it was full of colour, connection, creativity, and joy. And that’s what matters.

Because if you want more magic in your life: Look for the energy—not the postcode.

Because real transformation?
It’s not always about big, dramatic leaps.
It’s about honouring what lights you up.

When you choose your fantasy—even in the smallest way—you become the woman who takes action, trusts her vision, and sees results.

It’s the same energy I bring into my work—whether I’m helping a client rediscover her sensuality in silk and lace, or guiding a small business owner to reconnect with the bold, visionary version of herself she’s been craving to unleash.

Explore luxury lingerie experiences or small business support and let’s hatch a high-vibe plan for your next chapter together.

This Is YOUR Reinvention

Whether you’re dreaming of:

Slipping into lingerie that makes you feel radiant and irresistible

Reconnecting with your purpose after a creative dry spell

Or building a business that finally feels aligned and luxurious on your terms

You don’t need to wait for a permission slip or plan some epic escape to begin.
You just need to start where you are. 

“Desire is a compass. Use it.”

So I’ll ask you what I ask myself:

What would your Good Times Goddess do today?
And how can you bring just 5% more fantasy into your real life?

Big birthdays. Hidden bars. Quiet revolutions.
Want more magic in your life? This is how we do reinvention around here.

“Build a life that turns you on. Everything else will follow.”

The post Want More Magic in Your Life? Start With This One Simple Mindset Shift appeared first on Sarah Connelly.

For me, this one showed up on the wallpaper of a hotel room in London. In just a few weeks I’d seen it pop up on social media, and heard it in podcasts and in passing conversations—but something about seeing it there, literally the writing on the wall—made me pause.

You can have results or excuses—but not both.

Whew! It got me right in the glow-up gut.

Because no matter how it’s phrased—
“You can make progress or make excuses…”
“You can make money or excuses…”
“You can wait for the perfect moment, or create it…”
—it’s all pointing to the same message:

We get to choose.

And for women like us, women on a journey of constant evolution in our personal style, self-expression, and intentional reinvention… that truth is both freeing and fierce.

What Does It Mean to Choose Results?

It doesn’t mean pushing harder or “doing the most.”
It definitely does not mean hustle.
And it certainly doesn’t mean perfection.

It means choosing movement over numbing out.
It means aligning with the woman you want to be.
And it means saying yes to the exact energy you want to embody—even if the steps feel small.

It could be as simple as:

• Letting go of a version of you that no longer fits (yes, even in your lingerie drawer)
• Clearing space—physically, emotionally, or energetically
• Booking that thing you’ve been “meaning to do for ages”
• Saying no to something that drains you
• Choosing to dress in a way that reflects how you want to feel
  

Spring Isn’t Just About Tidy Cupboards Clean Drawers—It’s About Clean Energy

Seasonally, we associate spring with cleaning and clearing out—but the real magic happens when we clear space inside ourselves, so to speak. When we let go of the excuses (the ones that sound like I’m too busy, I’ll wait till I’ve done X, I’ll do it later) and choose results instead.

Results in how we feel.
Results in how we show up.
Results in how we care for ourselves—luxuriously, deliberately, and unapologetically.

Create the Moment (Don’t Wait for It)

There is no perfect time.
No magic conditions.
There’s just now—and your choice to do something beautiful with it.

Whether that means carving out time to reconnect with your interests, evolve your personal style to  feel more aligned with the woman you’re becoming, or simply giving yourself the space and quiet to consider how you want to grow…

Choose the result.
Choose the woman you’ve always wanted to be.
Choose you.

Because you’re the only one who can.

Your personal Reinventress.

The post You Can Have Results or Excuses—But Not Both (The Mindset Shift That’ll Elevate Your Style, Energy & Confidence) appeared first on Sarah Connelly.

Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something you really wanted—just because you didn’t have a plus-one? Or maybe you convinced yourself it wasn’t the right time, or that you wouldn’t pull it off?

That used to be me too. Until I decided that life is too short to wait. For a pal. For a permission slip. For the perfect timing.

Now? When an exhibition, a gig, or an experience calls my name—I book it. When an artist I love is showing in another city, I go. When I crave the electric buzz of a bigger city, I don’t hesitate. Because some of the most empowering, electrifying, life-affirming experiences happen when you go it alone.

Here’s what I’ve discovered through the confidence-boosting power of solo travel…

The Magic of Saying Yes

Here’s the real magic: confidence isn’t something you find—confidence is created the moment you decide to show up for yourself.

That’s something the Glow-Up Goddess (one of my iconic lingerie muses) understands instinctively. She doesn’t stumble into confidence; she chooses it.

She sets the intention for who she’s becoming and steps into that energy—fully. Whether it’s her lingerie, her travel plans, or the way she walks into a room, she curates experiences that elevate, empower, and expand who she is.

Every. Single. Day.

Curating Confidence Like a Wardrobe

That’s exactly what I did on a recent London trip—I curated it with purpose, just like I curate my wardrobe.

I immersed myself in the glamour of the Naomi Campbell exhibition at the V&A, soaked in the history of Vogue’s ‘Between the Covers’ installation, and stepped into a world of fashion, photography, fun, and pure indulgence.

But it wasn’t just about going somewhere.

It was about who I became while I was there.

(Personal tip: Setting myself photo challenges is my favourite way to flex my confidence-boosting muscle—capturing glimpses of who I am and who I’m becoming!)

Your Next Solo Adventure Starts Now

And guess what? You don’t have to wait for a big trip to claim that kind of confidence.

Your next solo adventure could be as simple as:
Taking yourself on a cocktail date (and striking up a conversation with a stranger)
Booking that experience you’ve been eyeing—no plus-one required
Wearing the lingerie that makes you feel unstoppable, just because.

Because confidence doesn’t just happen.

You build it. You claim it. You step into it—intentionally.

What’s Your Next Yes?

So, here’s your challenge: What’s the thing you’ve been waiting to do?

Is it a trip? An outfit? An adventure?

Say yes to it.

Because if the Glow-Up Goddess has one rule, it’s this: she never waits for permission.

And neither should you.

The post The Confidence-Boosting Power of Solo Travel (Pack the Lingerie, Book the Trip, Say Yes to It All) appeared first on Sarah Connelly.

Somewhere along the way, we picked up this idea that transformation happens in one grand leap. That one day, we wake up different—bolder, braver, more effortless in our presence. But the truth is, the biggest shifts happen in the smallest moments. 

The way you carry yourself.
The choices you make, even when no one is watching.
The small daily shifts that, over time, turn into something so much bigger.

Reinvention is in the decisions you make every single day.

Confidence Isn’t Granted, It’s Created

Think about it: Who do you picture when you imagine the most confident version of yourself?

What does she wear? How does she move? How does she show up for herself?

The women we admire—those who seem effortlessly self-assured—aren’t just born with confidence. They decide to embody it.

They choose to walk into a room like they belong.
They dress in a way that makes them feel magnetic and self-assured.
They show up fully. For themselves.

And it starts with the smallest shifts: acting as if.

Do you want to take a stand? Feel stronger? Sexier? Or be more you?
Do you want to walk into a room and shine—not just with presence, but with a deep knowing of your worth?

You don’t wait for these things to happen to you. You step into them now.

Which is why I believe that lingerie—something as seemingly small as what you wear underneath your clothes—can be one of the most powerful tools for transformation.

How Lingerie Can Be a Tool for Reinvention

Lingerie isn’t just about seduction (unless you want it to be).

It’s about self-possession. It’s about how you move, how you hold yourself, how you carry your presence into the world.

The women who work with me in my one-to-one lingerie styling experiences don’t come to me just for beautiful lingerie. They come because they want transformation. They want to elevate, refine, and expand into the next version of themselves.

Because the right lingerie isn’t just a garment, something to dress up in—it’s a mindset shift. It’s an invitation to embody the woman you already are.

The question is: What does your next-level confidence look like?

The Lingerie That Embodies Big Deal Energy

It’s exactly this sentiment that inspired me to create The Comeback Queen Muse—the woman who isn’t waiting for permission. She’s back on the scene and ready to reign with confidence.

If you’re ready to channel that energy, here’s where to start:

Daring designs. Because you don’t do basic. Think cutouts, sheer panels, sculpted tailoring.

Luxury craftsmanship. Quality that feels effortless. Easy to wear, evocative, cheeky, playful—but always impeccably made.

Dramatic silhouettes. Definitive designs, flawless fit, and details that make you feel like this was made for you.

It’s subtle, yet magic. A reminder that how you dress isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you feel.

Your ‘Babe, You’re a Big Deal’ Moment Starts Now

The past doesn’t define you.

Every step forward is an opportunity to embody who you’re becoming.

So here’s your invitation: Take one small step today that aligns with the version of yourself you want to embody.

Wear something just for you—something that makes you feel like a woman who owns her presence (personal tip: if it’s not lingerie, try lipstick! A pop of colour to brighten the complexion works wonders!).
Walk into a room like you belong there—because you do.
Try a new lingerie styling trick (a long sleeve lace bodysuit under a blazer? A silk cami instead of your usual winter thermals?).

Whatever you do, own it.

Your personal Reinventress.

PHYSICAL – Lauren Roxburgh, The Body Whisperer

Making time to move everyday – beyond the linear commute/sprint to work, and committing time to jump-start inspiration, shake out stress, or blast away any blues is an absolute must; and Lauren Roxburgh’s Alligned Life Studio is simply awesome. With nothing but a foam roller Lauren’s simple exercises stretch out and align your body, encourage you to breathe better (which by default will clear and strengthen your mind) plus her tried & tested techniques will sculpt a beach body in all but seven minutes a day!

EMOTIONAL – Gala Darling, High Vibe Honey 

A high-glamour personal cheer-leader in hot pink, Gala Darling is a prophet of infectiously high energy. She’s testament to the fact that fear, anxiety and overwhelm are all in our heads and her ‘tapping’ sessions are hands down the most effective daily exercise for overhauling energy, and kicking your attitude in to high gear. This queen takes no prisoners and I love her for it!

SPIRITUAL – Astrology & Affirmations

The Astrotwins remain go-to gurus for how to harness star-power and their ‘plan it by the planets’ methodology has proven an effective take on harnessing ‘super-natural’ energy to enhance efforts across the board. Combining astrology and energy work is an effective spiritual practice, but I’ll confess to getting strung out on whether my thoughts and energy are REALLY aligned with my aspirations. So discovering Chris Corsini’s blog, and reading his confession of finding the Law of Attraction difficult to utilise, feeling the pressure to police thoughts 24/7, and the shame spiral of not being high-vibe-enough was very relatable and wildly liberating. The tools in the blog, alongside his accurate monthly tarot spreads for every sign, every month, are a favourite and reaffirming resource delivered with an empowering dose of enthusiasm.

RELATIONSHIPS – Jordanna Levin, Higher Love

From the cover, this is a book about dating and romantic relationships, but at it’s true essence it’s about figuring out who you are, what lights you up, and how you want to feel in love – with a special someone, sure, but most importantly with yourself. Alongside her first book, Make it Happen, these two books were the double dose of levelling up self-acceptance that helped untangle all the thoughts I’d been dragging around from past relationships and entrepreneurial adventures, and have been on hard-repeat on my Audible playlist for two solid years. (I love them that much!)

FINANCIAL – Mike Michaelowicz, Profit First

Discovering Mike Michalowicz’s ‘Profit First’ methodology eight years into running a business was a major turning point. Wildly simple, the easy to implement steps at the turn of each page help establish a realistic financial roadmap for any business to become permanently profitable overnight. The methodology is one I continue to use personally and professionally, and share with clients again and again.

WORK/CAREER – Marie Forleo, Marie TV

A major fan of Marie Forleo and a B-School student with first hand experience of applying her actionable ideas to create a business and life I love, Marie TV is full of wit and wisdom covering everything from productivity hacks and inspiring interviews with thought leaders, to building mental & emotional strength, and the positive effects of micro-dosing. Tuning in regularly never fails to deliver a reassuring gold nugget of wisdom to get me moving in the right direction.
