Episode Seventeen - Fiona Sim, Certified Business and Productivity Strategist
🎙️ Episode Introduction – Get Your Sparkle On with Fiona Sim ✨
Today I’m joined by the lovely Fiona Sim, a Certified Business and Productivity Strategist who’s on a mission to help stay-at-home mums navigate the “where do I even start?!” phase of launching an online business.
After leaving school with no idea what she wanted to do, Fiona spent 15 years exploring different jobs and even returned to education as a mature student. But when her two daughters came along, her quest to find her passion took a backseat – until she decided to create a life that truly worked around her family, her values, and her choice to home educate.
Now living in the beautiful Scottish Borders with her husband and daughters, Fiona has not only carved out a business that aligns with her lifestyle – she’s helping other mums do the same. Whether it’s about gaining clarity, getting over that initial fear of starting, or creating a flexible routine that fits around little ones, Fiona’s advice is full of compassion, practicality and a good dose of humour.
In this episode, we chat about how she handles overwhelm, bust a few homeschooling myths, and dig into her Signature START System – a brilliant framework to help mums take that very first step towards creating the life they want.
Oh – and stay tuned until the end for a funny story that’s guaranteed to give you a giggle!

I talk about feeling old and walking around like an old lady with dodgy knees and whether weight/strength training helps with the bone density loss.
I also ask Charlotte how on earth do you keep people motivated to exercise without wanting to punch you in the face.
Okay, yes, I'm a fast-results girl...I want instant results after one day exercising and still eating a McDonald's. So apparently, you've got to push past the first two to three months !!
Do you have anxiety or stress? Exercise and getting fresh air do help. ..so get your trainers on girl!
Hope you've enjoyed this episode chatting all things exercise and keeping it real.
