Sarah Berthon spent years climbing the corporate ladder as a management consultant before she was forced to change direction. When diagnosed with several chronic illnesses (PoTS, Ehlers Danlos, ME and chronic migraine), she decided to set up and run a natural skincare business but quickly realised that she also needed to put strategies in place to look after her health while working on the business. 

In this episode, Sarah shares how you can overcome any challenges, instil a mentality of hope and possibility plus how to use your time effectively and efficiently to scale your business. By using her frameworks she has successfully grown her skincare business into a franchise and also mentors other ambitious women in business who simultaneously navigate health challenges. 

She is passionate about sharing how you can be successful as a business owner and create the flexibility and freedom you need especially on the days where your illness takes hold and we discuss how you can do this too.

There are so many misconceptions about what it takes to grow and scale your business. In this episode I talk about some of the powerful and practical elements you need to have in place but also the ONE thing that will supercharge your scaling ability by being open to create and receive success.
