Andrea McLean Instagram – What does the word formidable mean to you? To some it might mean a Miss Trunchbull level of overbearing, to others it may simply mean being a confident woman. In this week’s conversation, Sarah Pittendrigh explains how she helps women over 40 find the confidence they need to be whatever level of ‘formidable’ that works for them.   Sarah’s experience in finding inner confidence is hard-won. She has personally and professionally overcome challenges that would make anyone buckle; cancer (twice), bankruptcy after the collapse of her multi-million-pound business during the 2008 crash which left her as a single parent living on income support, and divorce then re-marriage to her husband. Now back on her feet and running a thriving business, Sarah also devotes much of her time to coaching successful CEOs and entrepreneurs in how to find their formidable side. Funny, down-to-earth and bursting with no-nonsense kindness, Sarah is formidable in the best possible way.   In our conversation we cover: 💪 How people say they want success because it brings them freedom. But what they really want is to feel safe. 💪 How the cliché is true: our most valuable life lessons come through the knocks we get. 💪 How to get over our fear of being judged. 💪 How looking for success to prove someone wrong is not the best long-term motivator. 💪 How to look after your energy, because that’s the base level for every single thing you do in life.   And so much more!     To make sure you don’t miss out, click the subscribe button on my YouTube page and you’ll be notified every time I have a new conversation – and this is one you have to see! https://www.youtube.com/@AndreaMcLeanThisgirlisonfire @sarahpittendrigh #midlifeconversations   👉 If you’d like to join the conversation, just click the link to join my private, women only Facebook group, where you can discuss all of the midlife conversations in confidence. https://www.facebook.com/groups/766812441537576/
