Welcome to Mic Drop Moments… a weekly podcast hosted by Sandra Garlick MBE, Business Growth & Visibility Strategist, Speaker Mentor, and Founder of Woman Who.
Often your journey into business doesn’t follow a straight line and you may have a few detours along the way. You’ve probably gathered a lot of knowledge, learned valuable lessons, and navigated obstacles and challenges. These are your stories, they are unique to you, and your learning evolves into your Mic Drop Moments.
Each episode is packed full of insights, inspiration, and stories and features content you can learn from and feel motivated to take that next step in life or business. Sandra chats to guests who share their stories to inspire others, including their Mic Drop Moments. She also hosts a number of solo episodes sharing business strategy and learning to inspire you to create your Mic Drop Moments too.
Sandra has been speaking on stages for over 25 years and has grown her personal brand, and several businesses, over the last few decades. She now shares her knowledge, her mistakes (learning curves), and Mic Drop Moments with you every Monday.
Sandra was awarded her MBE in the New Years’ Honours List 2020, one of her many Mic Drop Moments.

Woman Who Chat – Chatting about sleep deprivation with Nicole Ratcliffe
Today I’m chatting to Nicole Ratcliffe, the Workplace Sleep Coach and founder of Baby to Sleep. Nicole is a work-based sleep coach for parents, and works with parents and businesses to educate them how to support their employees through sleep deprivation.
Have you ever suffered with sleep deprivation? We chat about why sleep is so important to be able to function and operate efficiently.
Nicole shares her own journey, the challenges she faced and how sleep deprivation affected her, her family and her job. Nicole has now carried out research and produced a report ‘Breaking the Silence: Revealing the Truth about Parenting in the Workplace’ and the astonishing results.
Nicole is on a mission to educate employers and ensure that sleep deprived parents are safe in the workplace. She shares how she works with employers and parents to help them.
Nicole won a Woman Who Achieves Award in 2024.
You can find out more about Nicole and reach out to her here:

I loved recording this episode with my team. Today I’m talking all about business efficiency and the team, and here I chat to a few of my team, Katy Osborne (KOVA Business Support), Gary Jones (Grow Radio) and Shelley Wilson (Author & Writing Mentor). Sadly, John Cleary (Be More Visible) couldn’t join us.
I love the fact that they are all solopreneurs too.
Meet the team and hear how they help me run my business efficiently, the way that they all work in synergy, and how each role they undertake helps the other to perform their role. Words become blogs, social posts, podcast material, and newsletter content. Photos are used for social posts, the blog, website, and podcast promo.
They also share their top tips and how they use team members in their businesses too.

Her honesty and transparency is evident as she shares the real story or the highs and lows of business and how personal brand has been important in her business journey.
We also chat about her new business venture, The Business Success Company and about the work you need to put in to have a successful business.

Chatting about women in business over 55
Today I’m chatting with Wendy Garcarz about her research project around women entrepreneurs.
Wendy, who is the founder of The Wendy Effect, can only be described as a 4’ 11” powerhouse!
Wendy shares a startling fact taken from the Rose Review, published in 2019, which shows that If women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men do, we could add £250 billion into our economy. Wendy found this astonishing and something the Government would be interested in.
Wendy looked but couldn’t find practical help and support available for women. Plus, she found that the second largest group of women entrepreneurs is over 55s. This intrigued Wendy and led to her to start her research project.
The outcome of her research is the ‘The 2024 Wise Women in Business Report’ which is published today.
Wendy shares her findings of her research and the launch of her ‘Refirement’ movement.
Wendy is delivering her TedX on Satuday 20th July at TedX Wolverhampton titled: Refirement not Retirement
You can download the report and find out more on the Refirement website: https://www.refirement.uk
“At REFIREMENT UK, we believe retirement is not an end, but a vibrant new beginning. Our vision is to create a dynamic community where mature women can explore new opportunities, share their wisdom, and lead fulfilling lives.”
