In this heartfelt episode, Rebecca is joined by Sarah Hoyle – photographer, mindset coach, and founder of two thriving businesses. From her early career as a secondary school teacher to launching Sarah Hoyle Photography and later Nurture You, Sarah shares her inspiring journey of navigating motherhood, burnout, and rediscovering herself through creativity and self-care.

Together they discuss the power of morning routines, why setting boundaries is essential in self-employment, and how movement and meditation became anchors in Sarah’s life. She opens up about the realities of postnatal depression, the trap of always being ‘on’, and the decision to truly be present for her children. This episode is a beautiful reminder that when we prioritise ourselves, everyone benefits – at home and in business.

Expect real talk, powerful takeaways, and a few golden time rituals that might just transform your mornings too.
