I once sat across from a founder who was having their best revenue year ever.

On paper, everything looked strong.
But when I asked, “How does it feel?”

They paused.
And their eyes filled with tears.
They said, “I thought it would feel lighter than this.”

That moment stayed with me.
Because sometimes success doesn’t feel like relief.
It feels like more responsibility.

More people depending on you.
More risk.
More to lose.
No one talks about the emotional cost of growth.
But I’ve seen it enough to know, it’s real.

Proud to have had this published in authority magazine. It's so important as a women to feel that you can be your authentic self in a world which can result in huge vulnerability for women. #empoweringwomen #beauthenticallyyou https://medium.com/authority-m....agazine/creating-a-c

I’m honored to be speaking at the WYNx Award Winning Talks in Paris on March 7th as part of the Women Leadership & Women Health Conclave 2026. ✨

An event rooted in a powerful belief:
👉 Empowered women empower the world.

I’ll be delivering my keynote:

“Embrace Your Inner Athlete: Reclaim Control of Your Time and Energy in 5 Simple Steps.”

In this session, I’ll explore how leaders and professionals can:
- Manage energy as strategically as they manage time
- Protect focus in high-demand environments
- Build routines that support recovery, clarity, and sustainable high performance
- Shift from reactive survival to intentional self-leadership

Too often, high-performing women are praised for “handling it all” - while the hidden cognitive load and constant pressure quietly accumulate.

My goal on that stage is simple:
To shift the conversation from endurance to sustainability.
From hustle to intentional action.
From burnout recovery to proactive energy leadership.

I’m grateful to be featured as a keynote speaker alongside inspiring leaders who are advancing conversations around women’s leadership and health globally.

If you’ll be in Paris March 6-8, I would love to connect. Please reach out - it would be wonderful to meet in person.

--------
Intentional action builds success. Sustainable energy keeps it.

The Sixteen-Year-Old Who Taught Me How To Teach
We’re told that by teaching children, we change the future.
For me, it happened the other way round.

A sixteen-year-old in my class couldn’t read.
And no one thought it was a problem. But I did.

He came to my practical Design and Technology lessons.
Never the theory.

He was tall, charming, popular.
And simply labelled a truant.

At the time, 25+ years ago, I was a new secondary school teacher.
Design and Technology was replacing woodwork with electronics and emerging computing.
Preparing students for a technological future.
I loved it.
We were the pioneers.

Two months before GCSEs, Danial had walked into my revision lesson by accident - He was disruptive, so I asked him to sit next to me.

I pointed to a paragraph in his book.
“It won’t read itself.” I said.
He began sounding out the words. Slowly. Phonetically.

He was sixteen.

My eyes widened, my chest tightened.
He wasn’t going to fail because he lacked intelligence.
He was going to fail because he couldn’t read.

How was I preparing children for advanced technologies
when one of them couldn’t read a paragraph?

He had been in school for eleven years.

“Not all children are going to pass your exam Sabina,” I was told by my Head of Department. “Focus on the ones who will.”

No child left behind had been my motto, his reasoning didn’t land well.

I went higher. “We’re a secondary school Sabina. The Primary school failed him.”

Six years Danial had been in our school.
Everyone had an explanation.
No one took responsibility.

That was the moment I turned away from the future I was helping build.
I left secondary education.

Not because I didn’t love it.
Because I couldn’t accept what I had seen.

If the foundations aren’t secure, the future doesn’t matter.
I retrained in primary, but when children struggled. They blamed nursery.
So I trained in nursery and when they struggled, they blamed the parents.

But by then I was a parent too, and I stopped listening to the blame and had to find out why.

I completed a Master’s in Psychology.
Studied child development and SEND.
Trained in neuroplasticity.
Worked across hundreds of schools.
Not to collect credentials.

To understand how children fall through the gaps.
Children do not suddenly fail.

They are failed quietly.
Daniel is why I notice early.

And why when a parent says,
“Something doesn’t feel right,”
I listen.

If you have a child in primary and this is you, you’re welcome to message me.

There was a period in my life when I started feeling resentful, and I hated admitting it. On the surface everything looked fine. I was productive. I was supportive. I was showing up. But small things started irritating me more than they should.

The truth was uncomfortable. No one was doing anything wrong. I was the one saying yes when I meant no. I was the one overextending. I was expecting people to respect boundaries I had never clearly set.

The resentment was not about them. It was about me abandoning myself.

That realization changed how I work with emotions. Most people want to get rid of what they feel. But emotions are feedback. They are indicators of where we are out of alignment.

When I took responsibility instead of blaming, the resentment disappeared.

Not because others changed.

Because I did.

That is emotional mastery.

Today I got a message from someone asking for fast cash.

I don’t know who they are.
No relationship. No trust. No credibility.

So the answer is simple…

No money.

And it’s a perfect reminder for anyone getting into property:

Money doesn’t move because your deal is “good”.
Money moves because YOU are trusted.

If you only start conversations when you’ve got a deal on the table… it’s already too late.

That’s why I’m going LIVE at 4:30pm today inside the Nab An Investor Club Facebook group — 10 minutes a day this week — to help you build your investor list and start the right conversations before you need the money.

If you’ve ever thought:
“Who do I even know?”
“I can’t just ask someone for money…”
“I don’t know anyone with money…”

Come and join us. You’ll be surprised how simple this can become with the right approach.

See you LIVE at 4:30pm 👋

😳 I can’t even imagine living through this…

A wife discovers her husband, a pathological liar, sneaked out with their son while she was sleeping. 💔 The shock, the betrayal, the heartbreak… it’s something so many of us can relate to in situations of dishonesty and lies.

I shared my full reaction, my thoughts, and the emotions this story brought out. Watch the full video on YouTube: 👉
