The juggle and the struggle is real
I get it. I’m here to help parents who want to thrive in their career AND as a parent without the stress and overwhelm.

What I do and why it’s SO important
I support working parents who need help adapting to the ever-changing priorities of parenting while juggling a career. I work directly with parents and organisations committed to supporting their working parents, helping them achieve a work-life balance that suits each unique family.
Having children can be overwhelming and challenging. The carefree life we lived before having children no longer applies (unless you have a live-in nanny), and balancing the demands of parenting with a career can lead to burnout, stress, and complete overwhelm. It’s crucial for working parents to redefine their purpose and career goals. What do you want and need to make this work? By making a few changes and refining your mindset and behavior, you can create a life you love and achieve the balance we all long for as working parents.

About
Sarah
Maconachie
I am a proud working mum of three young children living in Perth, Western Australia. After a long hard few years of popping out babies, I found myself feeling lost and overwhelmed, thinking how the f**k am I going to go back to work and juggle 3 babies at home. I felt like I had completely lost my identity and trying to fulfil my ambitious career goals and be a great hands on mum felt like mission impossible.
After returning to work and regaining some of my confidence (realising baby brain and the fog will start to clear) I embarked on a mindset journey that completely changed my life. I learnt things about myself I never knew, I identified what holds me back and I pushed through it all and came out as incredible person on the other side, I want every parent to feel the clarity and control that I have over my life. Not only have I seen a huge difference in myself but my children and husband have hugely benefited too.
Now, I help other parents create fulfilling lives for themselves and their families. I am a published author of two books and a regular blogger and love speaking about how essential changes are for working parents in this modern world.
Become a confident, fulfilled parent
Understand yourself, define your purpose and learn how you can implement changes to create the life you really want with my e-book, Parents – how to understand yourself and your children better.
What they say about Sarah
“...this program will be helpful in creating the life you truly want and deserve.”
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Maconachie who is enthusiastic, articulate and highly engaging. I learned about her mindset program and how it has impacted her personally which piqued my interest as an avid learner. Mindset is something that greatly impacts the work that I do, and I often see how mindset limits my clients potential to fully embrace the philosophies and practices I promote to create the ideal culture and team alignment. I have found the course extremely helpful in developing my own mindset and providing me with greater insight into how I can support mindset development in others. I think this program would be helpful to just about everyone. Unless you have achieved everything you want in your life then this program will be helpful in creating the life you truly want and deserve. Sarah is amazing and has always created a supportive and engaging learning experience.
Lisa Younger, Director of Evolving Doors“I would highly recommend Sarah as a coach and for company workshops.”
I have worked with Sarah over a number of years in various capacities. Sarah has the ability to see exactly what is holding you back and what you need to shift to improve your life. Not only has Sarah been a brilliant support on my personal journey, she was also a guest presenter for a top tier event we held. Presenting to an executive suite of clients on the importance of mindset on developing a high-performance culture. Sarah was highly engaging, authentic, and we received brilliant feedback from the event. I would highly recommend Sarah as a coach and for company workshops.
Jodie Choyce, Associate partner for Michael Page“Sarah's holistic approach to mentoring and coaching was instrumental in my journey to success.”
Sarah's holistic approach to mentoring and coaching was instrumental in my journey to success. Through personalized one-on-one sessions and dynamic group leadership, she not only guided me through challenges but also held me accountable to my goals. Her tailored approach ensured no one was left behind, fostering a supportive learning environment where collective growth thrived. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking genuine transformation and empowerment.
