Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

So..... I went to a fashion event the other night, a night filled with elegant dresses, fashion influencers and perfectly lit selfies (lots of them).

Think: The Aussie fashion instagram world in full bloom.

It’s been a while since I stepped into that kind of scene. Years ago, I might have worked the room as a popstar. But that night, I felt more like an outsider. Actually to be honest, I might have been the oldest woman there. 🤣

I wasn’t feeling my best, I was nervous and quietly wondering if I even belonged in that room anymore. But something surprising happened. Instead of trying to compete or perform, I surrendered. I became the observer. I let myself just be myself for who I am today, grounded, soulful, and silent in a space full of noise.

And that’s where the magic was. I left the event not needing the validation I thought I seeked. I walked away rooted in a deeper sense of self, the kind that doesn't need the lights or the followers or the hype. Just presence, just truth... just me!

The dress I wore was absolutely stunning, it felt like butter and hugged you in all the right places. Here is a link to the dress.

The Takeaway

In spaces where everyone’s putting on a front or playing a role, the most radical thing a woman can do is show up as her whole, unfiltered self.

We live in a world that rewards the curated self. But as soulful creatives, our power doesn’t live in appearances, it lives in our essence and essence doesn’t age. It deepens, it strengthens and it becomes more grounded.

True style, it’s not what you wear, it’s how you carry your story and if there is one thing I know from my years in the entertainment industry and beyond, is that 'soul' never goes out of fashion and authenticity wins every time.

Something to Try

Next time you walk into a room where you feel out of place, whether online or in real life, try this:

• Take a quiet breath.
• Remind yourself that grounded women don’t perform, they radiate.
• Ask yourself: “What am I here to see, feel, or learn?” instead of “How am I being seen?”

Use that grounded energy to anchor you and let your true presence shine.

Always love hearing from you, stay connected.

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Little Reminders:

Your nervous system is your compass. If a space activates insecurity or comparison, listen to your body. Step back, breathe, and honour what you need to feel safe and regulated. Not just seen.

You are not behind. You are seasoned. Age, experience, and self-awareness aren’t flaws in fast-paced industries, they’re your wisdom. Don’t shrink, just reframe instead.

Your brand is your essence, not your outfit. While others chase relevance, build resonance. Let your creative work reflect depth, not trend. That’s what creates longevity. It's hard but worth it.
