S6 Episode 7: One Byte At A Time with Sharon Sinclair-Williams

With a rich and varied career in digital sustainability training and technology business, Sharon Sinclair-Williams is no stranger to the ups and downs of life. Having spent her early years as a blogger and eventually transitioning to writing on Substack, Sharon is an influential voice in the digital world. However, life had other plans in store for her. At 60, Sharon found herself embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, as she navigated the unexpected challenges of menopause and a late diagnosis of ADHD. Yet, Sharon didn't let these curveballs slow her down. Instead, she used them as fuel to keep going, adopting the mantra "Older & Bolder" and affirming that she was "Definitely Not Past my Expiry Date." Despite being a self-confessed serial lifetime procrastinator, she has accomplished much, including winning the Best Newcomer Blog in 2017 at the Vuelio Blog Awards and being named one of the 40 Digital Women To Watch in 2021. Through her Substack page, Best Before End Date, Sharon doesn't just share her expertise in the digital world but also her personal journey, acting as a beacon of hope for others going through the trials of menopause and the challenges of ADHD. Her story is not just about overcoming life's hurdles, but also about thriving amidst them and helping others to do the same. Shortlisted for the Digital Woman of the Year Awards in 2021, Sharon Sinclair-Williams is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the will to keep pushing forward, no matter what life throws your way. In this episode, Sharon talks about her first foray into entrepreneurship, breaking away from ageist societal notions, and to pretend you don’t know your gender.
