What Are You Leaving in 2025 and Amplifying in 2026? Mic Drop Moments with Special Guests This episode was recorded at The Amplify Growth Summit. You can watch all the Summit sessions HERE In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, Sandra Garlick MBE is joined by three members of The Amplify Experience for an honest, reflective conversation about what business owners are consciously leaving behind in 2025 and what they are choosing to amplify in 2026. Joining Sandra are: Sue Palmer-Conn, The Divorce Doctor Jodie Brookes, Founder of Brookes Care Solutions Dani Devren, Soul-Aligned Visibility Mentor Together, they explore the realities of a challenging year for many businesses and share what they’re intentionally choosing to release... from unhealthy money mindsets and overfilled diaries to comparison, burnout, and being visible in the wrong rooms. What’s being left behind in 2025: Overcommitting and running on fumes Attending too many large, noisy events without purpose Comparison and self-imposed pressure Memberships, habits, and expectations that no longer serve Ignoring wellbeing in favour of busyness The conversation then shifts to what each guest is choosing to amplify in 2026, with powerful themes emerging around focus, foundations, and fulfilment. What’s being amplified in 2026: Selective, intentional visibility and curated connections Writing, thought leadership, and creating passive income Putting health, wellbeing, and energy first Building aligned teams and support around the business Creating your own rooms instead of waiting for invitations Honouring purpose, values, and what genuinely lights you up The episode closes with each guest sharing a Mic Drop Moment for the year ahead: Take care of yourself. Don’t build your life around what you think others expect. Energy grows where energy goes – choose wisely. This episode is a reminder that amplifying your visibility doesn’t mean doing more. It means doing what matters, with intention, clarity, and confidence.   JOIN THE COMMUNITY   Join the Let’s Get Visible® Community on Facebook: JOIN HERE for inspiration, visibility tips, networking, and a community to lift you up and support you on your business journey.   ENTER THE WOMAN WHO ACHIEVES AWARDS 2026   The Woman Who Achieves Awards 2026: Celebrating Excellence in Business are open for entry until Midnight on 15th February.   Find out more HERE   ATTEND A WOMAN WHO EVENT   Woman Who Inspires Network, Mic Drop Live, Awards, Strategy & Mastermind Days.   Find out more here: https://womanwho.co.uk/events/   WORK WITH ME   Group and 121 opportunities in 2026.
