In this episode of Stories That Sell, I’m joined by Sandra Garlick MBE, Speaker Mentor and Visibility Strategist, with over 25 years of experience helping business owners step into the spotlight and turn their stories into real opportunities.

Sandra shares how her life took an unexpected turn after her divorce, leading her to retrain as a solicitor, build a law firm, and step into the world of professional speaking. On paper, everything looked solid. But behind the scenes, things had shifted.

A serious accident in 2016 forced her to stop. And in that pause, she realised something many people avoid admitting: she no longer loved the work she had built her life around.
Instead of ignoring it, she made a bold decision to change direction completely.

Recognised with an MBE for her services to women in business, Sandra is the founder of the Woman Who Awards and host of the Mic Drop Moments Podcast. Her work focuses on helping entrepreneurs go from hidden to high profile by using their voice, message, and story to create impact on stages and beyond.

We talk about what it really takes to pivot when something no longer fits, how she built her brand from the ground up, and why visibility isn’t about being everywhere, it’s about being seen for what you stand for.

This conversation is honest, grounding, and a reminder that you’re allowed to change your mind, and your direction.
