🐣 Happy Easter, my lovely business besties!
I hope you`re waking up to a slow, gentle kind of Sunday — the kind where coffee is sipped slowly and the to-do list is blissfully ignored. 💛
Normally, I`d be running a sale right now, but this year I decided to do things differently. I wanted to give myself permission to rest — no inbox hustle, no frantic emails. Just a little breathing space (and yes, this post was scheduled ahead while I was deep in coworking mode 😉).
So instead of a sale, I’ve got a gift for YOU — something that’ll support your biz for the rest of 2025.
🎁 FREE: 2025 Content Calendar
Yep, totally free. Last year it was $49.90. Then $9.90. But this Easter? You get it for zilch. Nada. Because you deserve it. 💕
Inside you’ll find: ✅ 365 days of content ideas to spark your posts all year round
✅ 200+ hooks & CTAs to boost engagement and connection
✅ A plug-and-play content strategy to make marketing feel easy
✨ Over 300 biz owners have already downloaded it and the feedback has been amazing — now it’s your turn.
So if you’re done with the content struggle and ready to feel organised, inspired, and in flow for the rest of the year, go grab your freebie now. Your future self will thank you! 🙌 Simply go to the link in my bio to download it now
Wishing you a joyful and gentle Easter,
Sarah xx

Ever noticed those carousel posts where the image stays the same the whole way through?
They’re not being lazy — they’re being clever 👀
Using the same image helps your audience focus on your message, not get distracted by design. It’s also a sneaky little engagement booster — every swipe tells the algorithm, “Hey, this content is valuable!”
So next time you’re planning a post, remember:
You don’t need a new image for every slide. You just need a strategy that works. 💡✨
Save this tip for later or share it with a biz buddy who needs to hear it 👇
What are your thoughts on repeated image carousel posts?

EP147 - The Silence Between Sales
In this solo episode, I open up about how 2025 is shaping up to be one of the toughest years I`ve seen in business—yes, even tougher than the COVID years. If your business feels quieter than usual, like it’s whispering instead of roaring, you’re not alone. I break down what’s happening globally and locally that`s affecting spending and share some soul-soothing and practical advice on how to navigate this tricky season. This episode is a reassuring reminder that slow seasons don’t mean failure, and it’s okay to realign, pause, and focus inward before you push forward.

💖 When I was a little girl, I wasn’t allowed a Barbie.
My mum — a proud feminist ahead of her time — taught me to say (in my tiniest serious voice) that Barbies “promoted female stereotypes.” And so, while other kids were brushing synthetic hair and dreaming of Malibu mansions, I was busy… questioning the patriarchy. 😂
Fast forward a few decades… and now?
✨ I have my own doll.
💻 She`s a Digital Marketing Coach.
🎙 She’s a Business Mentor and Podcaster.
👟 She`s wearing floral trainers and carrying a keep cup.
And yes — she comes with all the cool accessories.
Thanks to a little AI magic, I finally got to create my version of what a modern woman in business looks like. Not boxed into stereotypes — but beautifully, unapologetically herself.
This was so much fun to create… and also a little reminder that we get to redefine what “success” and “femininity” look like — on our own terms 💪
Well hey there
Does this sound like you?
You started your business with a spark of passion, but somewhere along the way, it got tangled in the noise of shoulds and musts. You’re juggling a million things, feeling overwhelmed, and wondering if you’ll ever achieve the ease and success you envisioned.

I’ve got you covered.
I’m Sarah, and I’m here to help you build a business you truly love — one that fits your life, reflects your values, and feels as effortless as it is rewarding.
Whether you’re looking to:
- Simplify your strategies and ditch the overwhelm,
- Gain clarity on what really matters in your business,
- Or create systems that make your day-to-day flow with ease…
Let’s move beyond just tech skills.
Sure, I’ll guide you through the tools and platforms, but that’s just the start. Together, we’ll dive deeper into your business’s soul and craft a strategy that works for you. Because when you’re aligned with your core values, success isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable.

Ready to make it happen?
If you’re ready to swap the hustle and overwhelm for ease, clarity, and meaningful progress, you’re in the right place.
Let’s build your dream business, one step at a time — together.

Podcast Episode

EP148 – Wrap Your Biz in Purpose with Julia Clifton of 4MyEarth
In this episode, I chat with the ever-inspiring Julia Clifton from 4MyEarth. Julia left behind her corporate career to follow her passion for sustainability, and since 2007, she’s been creating easy, everyday swaps for single-use plastic through her business. All her cloth products are ethically made in India, machine washable, and designed to last for years—making it simple for Aussie households to reduce waste without sacrificing convenience.
We talk about how the business started, what it’s really like running a product-based biz from home, and how she balances family life with purpose-led work. Julia’s goal? To see 4MyEarth products in every home across Australia—and after this chat, I have no doubt she’ll get there. If you’re dreaming of creating a business that feels meaningful and sustainable, this one’s going to speak right to your heart.
Want to explore Julia’s eco range? Head to http://www.4myearth.com.au and use the code SocialCircus for 15% off (excludes kits—they’re already discounted!).

Key Takeaways:
-
You don’t need a perfect plan to start a purpose-led business.
-
Small, consistent tweaks can lead to big sustainability wins.
-
Mindset matters more than fancy tools or stock levels.
-
Community and mentoring accelerate business clarity.
-
Your past career isn’t wasted—it often informs your future success.
