Conversation No 10 She Almost Said NO because she didn't think she was interesting
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this episode I talk with Sarah Carey, aka Kiwi, or rather 'party Kiwi'; a Kiwi native who settled in the UK almost 30 years ago. Despite her reservations to have a recorded conversation she revealed so much:
· From the outside she's confident, assured and sorted but the truth is confidence isn't innate in her
· How growing up in New Zealand shaped her values – an embedded culture of work-life balance, living for the moment, family and commitments first and of course the country's passion for rugby
· Why laughter is the best elixir and how burnout in 2025 crept in and she left a job she loved only to have a plot twist 6 months later.
· How fear can stop us making the right choice but how she's living proof it all turns out
Host note
Conversations like this - spending time to focus on someone we think we know or have only just met bring me such inspiration and I hope they do the same for you.
