After an unsuccessful shopping trip to buy a top for a dinner party I decided enough was enough.
Within 12 months I had lost 4 stone, overhauled my style, started a new business and discovered a new sense of confidence and passion – to help other women.
I felt low, lonely and lost and I didn’t know who, or where to turn to. I am lucky and have a fantastic husband and great mum – who is also my business partner – but I know that so many women who are where I was don’t have that and that’s ultimately how I started Sarah Thomas Lifestyle.
It started as an instagram page during lockdown – a place for me to diarise and share my journey and it quickly grew. I started getting requests from women to take them shopping which was so flattering. I started sharing more styling tips and the personal shopping side of the business is booming.
I was an accountant originally! I had a successful career but, took the step back to have my family and so quickly felt lost and isolated.
One thing I really missed during lockdown and also since I stopped working in an office environment, was time spent with like-minded women.
I decided to see if there was an interest for bringing the community I had built online into real life… and there was!
We have now hosted three events, each one bringing together fantastic independent businesses founded and run by women to share their products, services and experiences with like-minded women. I have learnt so much from these women including the art of juggling!
