Have you got your legals in place for your business? I became a member of Legal Buddy in 2024, just after starting my coaching business, and it was such a great find.

It’s a community of business owners who genuinely take their businesses seriously and want to make sure all their legal documents and processes are properly in place.

Suzanne Dibble, author of GDPR for Dummies, is the founder of Legal Buddy. As part of the membership, she’s created a clear, easy-to-follow Roadmap that guides you step by step through the legal documents and processes you need to confidently run your business.

Since starting my business in 2024, I’ve been working steadily to get all my legals in order... and last month I successfully completed the Roadmap.

I’ve now been awarded a certificate and a Legal Buddy verification badge, confirming that my legal foundations are in place. Oh… and I’m the proud owner of a Legal Buddy mug 😁.

I’m genuinely proud to recommend Legal Buddy & Suzanne as an affiliate.

A surprise visit from a robin this weekend…

It flew in, took a curious look around… perched on the cross trainer, and then after a little while it flew out again.

It made me think about how often we rush through our days without pausing to notice…

the little unexpected moments,
the times that remind us to breathe,
to be present,
to smile.

That’s a big part of what I support my clients with… creating space for more awareness, more presence, and more harmony in the middle of our busy lives.

What’s something small that’s made you pause or smile recently?

Hi, I’m Sandra, founder of Solar Coaching.

A semi-free Sunday… finally.

Time to catch up on life… laundry, tidying up, maybe even that drawer you’ve been avoiding.

But as you look around, you realise that the clutter isn’t just in your home.

It’s in your mind too.

😖 A never-ending list of things to do.
😔 The feeling that you’re always behind.
😊 A glimpse of how things could be… if only you had the time and energy to get there.

If your environment feels overwhelming, it’s no surprise your head does too.

Small steps help:
✔ Pick one space to clear today.
✔ Notice how you feel once it’s done.
✔ Ask yourself… what else needs decluttering in my life?

Because often, the same patterns show up in your career, your decisions, and how you move forward.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

👉 DM me if you want to chat about clearing the clutter… in your career and beyond.

How do you feel when someone says no to you?

As a coach, I celebrate it… especially when it comes from a people pleaser. 👏

Especially if they would have normally said yes but chose to honour their own needs instead.

Especially if they’re working on themselves, and this is one of their first steps in protecting their me time.

In this video, I share a couple of examples of how to say no… gracefully and guilt-free.

Have you said no this week without feeling guilty?

Have you ever had a mentor?

Recently, I’ve had a few people ask about mentoring and how it differs from coaching, so here’s a quick breakdown:

✅ Coaching – Helping you uncover your own solutions and guiding you toward your goals, knowing the answers are already within you.

✅ Mentoring – Offering support while also sharing my experiences to help guide you in your journey and growth.

If you’re curious about how coaching or mentoring could help you, let’s chat… no pressure, just an opportunity for you to ask questions.

How has coaching or mentoring helped you in your career journey so far? I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments!

…………..
And a quick reminder: my half-price coaching and mentoring offer is only available until Monday 24 February 2025!

Still feeling stuck in your career? 🤨 It doesn’t have to stay that way. 💛

Maybe you’ve thought about coaching… but something is holding you back.
❌ “I should be able to figure this out on my own.”
❌ “What if it doesn’t work for me?”
❌ “Now isn’t the right time.”

If any of these sound familiar, I get it. Taking that first step can feel daunting. But... if you don't change anything then nothing changes.

🌟 That’s why, for February only, I’m offering up to 6️⃣ coaching sessions at half price... a one-time offer to celebrate my company’s first anniversary.

If you’ve been on the fence about taking up coaching, this is your chance to gain clarity, confidence, and direction at a fraction of the cost.

What coaching is and isn't...

🛑 Coaching isn’t about giving you all the answers
✅ Coaching is about helping you find them within yourself.

And I’d love to walk that path with you.

📩 If you’re ready to move forward, send me a DM today—this offer won’t be coming back.

Feeling stuck in your career? You’re not alone.

January was a blur of deadlines, and we're almost half way through February... and nothing’s changed.

🔹 You want to explore new opportunities, but self-doubt keeps creeping in.
🔹 You know you need a plan, but it feels overwhelming.
🔹 You think you should be further along in your career, but you're unsure where to start.

If this sounds familiar, stop for a moment and breathe... and realise that you're not behind. You just need CLARITY and CONFIDENCE to take the next step.

🎥 In this video, I’m talking about how so many other finance professionals, managers and leaders feel stuck at this time of year, and what to do about it.

Watch now and drop a comment if it resonates with you. Or send me a DM if you’d like to chat about your next move.

To celebrate my business anniversary 🎉 I’m offering up to 6 coaching sessions at ✨HALF PRICE - but only for the first 3 people who sign up.

This month marks ONE YEAR since I took the leap into running my own coaching business.

But if I’m honest… I wish I had done more coaching. That’s where you come in.

✅ Up to six sessions at 50% off ✨
✅ Each session costs less than a fancy dinner, a massage, a new pair of shoes, or a monthly gym membership
✅ Free introductory call—no pressure, just a chat to see if coaching is right for you

Plus, you’ll get:
✔️ Help defining your goals
✔️ A targeted action plan to move forward
✔️ CV review if you’re exploring new roles
✔️ A skills & values test—and how it links to your career & life goals

🌟 If you’ve been thinking about career & lifestyle coaching, now’s the perfect time. DM me the word 'FEBRUARY' to request a call. Only 3 people will get one of these spots... once they're gone, they're gone! 🌟

It’s Sunday evening… and the ‘week ahead’ dread is creeping in.

You’ve barely had time to switch off, yet here you are… already thinking about next week. There’s the…

🔹 PRESSURE… of leading your team (when you’re still doubting your own abilities).
🔹 FEAR… of being ‘found out’ (like you should have it all figured out by now).
🔹 WEIGHT… of knowing you need to take responsibility (but not feeling confident enough to do it).

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? I've got clients who feel just like you.

Imposter syndrome can make you second-guess yourself before you’ve even stepped into the week. But remember… good leaders are the ones who know how to FIND the answers, rather than HAVE all the answers.

🛑 Stop questioning whether you’re ‘good enough.’

You don’t have to figure it out alone... DM me the word "LEAD" if you’re ready to build confidence in your leadership skills.

How do you link your goals and actions lists with your daily to do lists?

In the video I give a very high level view of how you wouldn’t just put your goal on your daily to list, because a goal (or project, if that’s easier to imagine) will have more than one step.

If you are struggling to track your many goals and to dos, please reach out as I have a method of helping my clients track their goals; breaking it all down into manageable actions to help you move forward.

Hope you’ve all had a good day

Are you doing what you love to do?

Sometimes we can’t see what others see within us, and we don’t take that first step. Think about the words of encouragement that people have said and hold them within you, because they are the catalyst that can propel you towards achieving your goals and dreams.

In the video I give some examples of words of encouragement that 2 colleagues said to me in the week leading up to me leaving my last job 6 months ago, and before I set up my own life coaching company. I had no idea at that point which direction I was going to take but kept those words in the back of my mind.

Redundancy, coupled with what others said back then, and since then the support I’ve received from family and friends, has all made this possible. Thank you!

What encouragement have people given you that you've forgotten about? How can you use this to follow your dream?

07/06/2024

Are you struggling with a long to do list today?

In the video I talk about a few quick tips that may help to remove the stress and pressure from your to do list. Examples also below:

✔️ CATEGORISING tasks (so you can get more clarity about what's on there and save time looking through one long list)

✔️ FORWARDING some tasks to another day (to remove today's time pressure)

✔️ REMOVING things altogether (see if you can delegate or eliminate some).

✔️ BLOCKING out time to carry out the actual work (e.g. project type tasks between 2 and 4, admin between 4 and 5, chores and cooking between 5 and 7)

All of these things can remove the time pressure for today.

Good luck!

I'm always here to help if you want a free 1:1 coaching session to talk through how you can manage your task lists or do some brainstorming.

Take care

Sandra
