Sarah Dixson, Mayor of Woollahra: Faith, Family And Leadership

Can you build a business, raise a family and still have a life you love in Sydney?

If you have ever looked at the cost of housing, childcare, growing a business and a full calendar and wondered how women manage to hold all of it, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of She's Taking Over, I sit down with Sarah Dixson, Mayor of Woollahra, family lawyer, business owner and new mum, to talk about what actually makes an ambitious life sustainable.

Sarah has a six-month-old baby, a legal practice, a role leading her local council and a deep connection to the community around her. Her answer is refreshingly human: build your village, communicate clearly, ask for help and let people show up for you.

This is a conversation for the woman building her career, contemplating family, or trying to create a beautiful life in a city she loves.

We talk about:

⚡ How to build a real support system around your ambition

🤝 Why asking for help and accepting it expands what is possible

👩‍⚖️ Running a business while carrying meaningful responsibility

🗣️ The role communication, reputation and community play in building a career

🏡 Creating a life you want to stay in as Sydney changes

📚 Why being the most prepared person in the room matters
