Club MOTM: Sarah Richie on Confidence, Courage & Outgrowing Old Identities

Today's episode is a Wellness Business Club Member of the Month Spotlight and it's a proper heart-meets-strategy conversation.

I'm joined by Sarah from Dragonfly Mindset, an empowerment coach and "pocket cheerleader" for anyone who wants more confidence, courage, and belief in what's possible.

We talk about the messy middle of big life changes: leaving a career that no longer fits, grief as a catalyst, and the surprisingly common moment business owners hit where they realise they've started shrinking inside the niche they chose.

If you've been feeling a bit boxed in, a bit "is this it?", or like you're trying to stay relatable by making yourself smaller… this one will land.

What We Cover

• Sarah's transition from teaching to coaching, and why it stopped fitting after becoming a mum

• The role coaching played in shifting perfectionism, people pleasing, and self-trust

• Grief, perspective, and the question that changed everything:
  "If I only had 11 years left… what would I want my life to look like?"

• Why "niche down" can be helpful… and also quietly suffocating

• The moment Sarah realised she was holding herself back to stay relatable

• The difference between niching to a demographic vs niching to the feelings + transformation

• Core values and why misalignment shows up as exhaustion, resentment, and loss of spark

• "Glimmers", slowing down, and why your nervous system matters in business growth

• The journal prompts Sarah uses to reconnect to confidence and expansion

• Why mindset work is like gardening (maintenance matters)

Journal Prompts From the Episode

If you're feeling stuck, small, or a bit "meh", steal these:

• Where have I been shrinking recently when I could have been louder?

• What's made my body light up lately… and how can I lean into that more?

• What goal have I already achieved… but forgotten to celebrate?
