#232- BONUS Episode – Birthday Reflections: Building a Business and a Life I Love

In this special birthday episode of Mic Drop Moments, Sandra Garlick takes a step away from practical business strategy to reflect on the lessons she's learnt after another year of life and more than a decade of building Woman Who. From redefining what success really means to creating a business that supports the life you want to live, this honest and personal conversation explores the milestones, challenges and mindset shifts that have shaped Sandra's journey. She shares why she no longer measures success by achievements alone, why she doesn't have a bucket list, the importance of protecting time and energy, and how some of life's greatest opportunities often begin as unexpected setbacks. If you've ever found yourself constantly chasing the next goal without stopping to celebrate how far you've already come, this episode is your reminder to pause, reflect and appreciate the journey. In this episode you'll discover: How Sandra's definition of success has changed over the last ten years. Why building a meaningful life is just as important as building a successful business. The story behind Woman Who and how an unexpected setback changed everything. Why experiences matter more than ticking destinations off a bucket list. How Free Flow Fridays and redesigning her working week have transformed the way she works. Why setbacks, burnout and challenges often become our greatest teachers. What Sandra hopes to focus on during the next decade of business and life. A question to reflect on If today was your birthday, what would you be celebrating? Take a moment to acknowledge how far you've come, not just how far you still want to go. Mic Drop Moment 'Success isn't reaching the destination.
