In this inspiring episode of Dream Business, Dream Life, I’m joined by Sandra Garlick MBE, visibility strategist, speaker mentor, and founder of the Woman Who Awards, for a powerful conversation about confidence, storytelling, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for permission.

Sandra shares her remarkable journey from solicitor to award-winning advocate for women in business, reflecting on 10 years of impact, innovation, and accidental success. We talk openly about imposter syndrome, personal brand, speaking on stages (even when you feel “not ready”), and why visibility should always be on your terms.

Whether you’re a startup founder, solopreneur, or established business owner, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding, start sharing your story, and take up space...without pretending to be someone you’re not.

In this episode, we cover:

• Sandra’s journey from law to building a 10-year business supporting women
• Why women wait to be “chosen” (and why that needs to stop)
• What visibility really means and what it definitely isn’t
• How awards can transform confidence, mindset, and credibility
• The power of speaking, storytelling, and relatable role models
• Practical tips for getting visible without burning out
• Why connection beats selling every single time
