I am about to publish my book. It is called The Superhero I was Born to Be and it is a raw account of my self-development journey with a publisher’s polish. It has taken a lot of courage to get to this point. I am frightened what the world will think of me when they […]
What a summer it has been! A rollercoaster of highs and lows all useful for learning when I manage to grasp what life is teaching me. Now here we are at the start of September and I am reviewing where I am for 2017. 2016 was the year I took flight and this year was […]
“You ok?” A stock phrase we often use as a greeting. See also “How’s things?” or “What’s up?” But in using them as a greeting I believe we risk forgetting what it is we are actually asking. And vice versa, when asked, we may lose the opportunity to respond honestly. In my new book, The […]
Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I learnt that I cannot save my daughter from anxiety. And when anxiety has crippled you throughout your life that is a very hard lesson to learn. She told me on the walk to school she had a pain like someone was squeezing her insides. She said she […]
I’m an English Literature graduate. I’m soon to be a published author. I am a woman who loves words. But I have been on a journey of re-education recently. It began probably a year ago when I came to the realisation that it was not the words but the intention that really mattered. And over […]
I know I want to write this blog but it’s a tough soul-baring one. Even more so than the entries here that have gone before! I plan to share this more publicly too because it’s important. For me and for others. My life coach asked recently what kind of year 2017 had been for me. […]
This week I have moved house. It is apparently the third most stressful thing you can do (along with getting divorced which is why I am moving house!) but coupled with that over the last 14 years I have fallen in love with my house. And I don’t mean I love it like the inanimate […]
I was privileged to take part in an interview on BBC’s national radio show Wake up to Money in January 2020 on mental health in the workplace. This was directly following a Deloitte report that highlighted the £40 billion cost to business per year. The programme also interviewed Lloyds Bank CEO Antonio Horta-Osorio who has […]
In the Leading Through Uncertainty podcast, Jude Jennison interviews leaders from a variety of organisations on their experience of leading disruptive change, the challenges they have faced and how they overcome them. Episode 51: “Sarah Windrum on technology, disruption, open dialogue and listening” (originally aired 19/11/2019)
My 7-year-old daughter struggles from time to time with anxiety. Just like me she is outwardly sociable, funny, warm, and charming, so when anxiety hits the difference is instantly noticeable. Unlike me, she has not yet learnt to mask it. As a matter of fact, I hope she never learns how to do that. I […]
