Busy Girl

This is a solo episode, with your host Sarah Comerford.

Sarah recaps Season 2, and what a season it has been, pushing herself outside of her comfort zone with inviting guests on she has never been before. Introducing the glow up segment, and asking 8 different busy girls what is making their life more fun or enjoyable.

This is also a little bit of a dear diary moment, with a life update from Sarah and how she is transitioning out of that feeling "stuck feeling" for any other busy girls that might be in this transition period.

PS. From Sarah, was a little sleep deprived after a busy weekend but wanted to record real and honest episode x

In this episode, your host Sarah Comerford is joined by Angelina Das, co-founder of the social enterprise Peried, on a mission to normalise menstrual health conversations.

We explore:

• Why education around periods is still lacking.

• The difference between common vs. normal symptoms.
• Red flags you shouldn’t ignore—like fainting, severe pain, or sudden changes in skin and hair.
• How to find the right support and information for your personal journey.
• The power of Peried’s storytelling workshops, helping people share and own their experiences.
  

By starting the conversation, Ange and her co-founder at Peried are challenging the normalisation of “not normal” symptoms and empowering people to advocate for themselves.

Today your host Sarah sits down with Lynelle strategist and marketer by day, and yoga teacher by weekend 🧘‍♀️✨

What started as a simple pursuit to deepen her own practice ended up leading her to become a yoga teacher. We chat about how yoga flows into every part of life from how you communicate to leading a room with confidence.

Lynelle shows us how the smallest shifts can create a more intentional way of living. Think less constant achieving, more curious exploring.

If you’ve been craving more intention or even the spark to start your own side passion this episode is for you.

This one’s personal. In today’s episode, I sit down with my twin sister Claire, the ultimate busy girl who, at just 26, survived a life-threatening car accident and over 5 surgeries. She's a walking miracle, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons I started this podcast.

⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of trauma and recovery following a serious accident.

We chat about what recovery really looks like: the tough days, the overwhelm, and the little things that actually help like mindfulness, strength training, scheduling your “worry time” (yep, literally putting it in the calendar), and even wearing lip balm in a hospital bed.

Claire shares the mindset shifts and practical tools that have helped her take back control, stay grounded, and keep showing up even when life feels anything but easy.

This week, we’re talking about how to design a week that leaves you feeling truly fulfilled, whether you’re in PR, a call centre, advertising or anywhere in between.

We cover:

🌈 How to audit your week (colour-code your meetings: externals, clients, internal catch-ups)

🧠 Managing distractions: from office chats to constant pings and creating deep work blocks

This week on the Busy Girl Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Maddie for a deep dive into one of the most real parts of being a busy girl: beauty appointment admin.

Today I’m joined by the brilliant Anna Kennedy, founder of Kennedy Studios, a dream marketing team born from nearly two decades of experience working with powerhouse brands like Westfield and Wittner.

I first discovered Anna through a powerful LinkedIn post where she shared her raw, unfiltered story about being made redundant from what she thought was her “dream job.” Instead of letting that moment define her, she used it as a turning point, one that led her to build a business and life that feels truly aligned.

In this conversation, Anna opens up about:

✨ How to navigate career curveballs with grace and grit

✨ Reclaiming your power after redundancy

✨ Staying grounded in your passions while building a legacy✨ The magic of trusting yourself—even when things don’t go to plan

If you’ve ever been thrown off course and wondered how to pick yourself back up, this one’s for you. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the pivot leads to where you are meant to be.

As Busy Girls, we’re constantly making decisions — from picking out our outfits to deciding what’s for dinner. But these seemingly small choices can pile up and drain our mental energy, leaving us with little space for creativity and clarity.

In this solo episode, Sarah will explore how simplifying daily decisions can free up your mental space. Sharing practical tips on creating easy outfit combos, planning meals ahead, sticking to a workout routine and using your calendar to manage your social life.

Drawing on studies of New York women's morning routines, along with insights from former President Barack Obama and Pia Mance, founder of Heaven Mayhem, I explore how reducing decision fatigue can help you focus on what truly matters and unlock your creative energy.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to streamline your routine, minimise mental clutter, and make room for more fun, clarity, and productivity in your busy life.
