“As a mentor I don't just teach mindset - I LIVE IT, I know what it feels like to be at rock bottom, and I know the strength it takes to rise. My brand has been created with the pure intention of helping you remember who you truly are & take back your power! Want to know how I got here? Let me show you the moments that changed everything..."
Hello! I'm Sara Davis and before I founded The Mindset Model there was a lifetime of chasing success, collecting job titles, and trying to squeeze my wild, creative soul into boxes that were never built for me. I’ve been a Pole-Dancer, a zookeeper, a wedding coordinator, a model, a corporate trainer, a manager, a presenter, and let me tell you, every version of me has taught me something priceless. I wasn’t lost. I was learning. Evolving. Becoming. And through it all, I was waking up to a deeper truth: no job, no title, no external win will ever compare to the power of coming home to who you really are.
Yes, I’ve worn heels on stage and steel-toed boots behind the scenes. I’ve made people laugh, cry, and cheer, and I’ve rebuilt my life more than once. I’ve stood in rooms where I didn’t feel like I belonged, and I’ve created my own stage when doors didn’t open. I’ve walked through fire mentally, and emotionally - and turned my scars into stories that inspire. I’m not here to preach from a pedestal. I’m here to show what’s possible when you own your story and stop waiting for permission to rise.
It took a life-altering accident to strip away everything I thought made me “successful”- and in the quiet that followed, I heard the call of my purpose louder than ever. That was my turning point. After ten years of deep mindset work, soul-searching, personal development and raw life experience, I created The Mindset Model: a movement that combines mindset science, soulful embodiment, and fierce self-belief to help people rewrite their story- and actually live it.
This isn’t just a brand - it’s a revolution of self. If you’re tired of dimming your light, shrinking your dreams, or pretending to be someone you’re not….WELCOME HOME!
Here, we celebrate the bold, the brave, the beautifully real. So lean in, say yes, and let’s create a life so powerful it gives others permission to rise too. Let’s make magic. Together.
The Story Behind
SPOILER: IT'S BEEN WILD
1987–2010: The Early Years
"Born curious. Grew up wild. Never stood a chance at playing by the rules."
1987 – Born in Bristol. wild-at-heart from Day One.
1999 – While the other kids were on Game Boys, I was outside collecting slow worms and climbing trees - still am. Nature girl for life.
2000 – Secondary school: didn’t fit in, hated my body, obsessed with boys who didn’t like me back, and the rise of Madam Whiplash. Yep, I gave myself an alter ego - obviously.
2004 – Got a camcorder for Christmas. Obsessed. I was basically David Attenborough with sass.
2006 – First job at Boots. Corporate rules, rigid lunch breaks and staying “in-line”
2007 – First professional photoshoot. Realised I didn’t need to look like everyone else to feel beautiful - Lightbulb moment: I don’t have to shrink to be seen.
2008 – Won The Sun’s national modelling comp. Flew to Antigua. Celebrated curves, owned my space, and thought: what if I really am meant for more?
2009 – Corporate trainer gig. My first “sensible” job. Discovered I loved teaching and creating - but also knew I wasn’t built to colour inside the lines.
2010–2018: The Years I Burnt the Rulebook
(and the Back-Up Copy)
"Corporate who? Sensible what? I was busy rewriting every rule I was ever handed — in heels, dresses, and occasionally not much else."
2010 – Left my “real job,” joined a modelling agency, then proudly became a Pole-dancer. Best. Decision. Ever.
2011 – Dream job alert: Clarins presenter with a mic, a stage, and a palace. Also met the love of my life at a house party. Iconic.
2014 – The accident. The identity crisis. The meltdown. Also… the beginning.
2016 – Lost it all, found myself among alpacas. Literally became a zoo keeper.
2018 – Back on Gok Wan’s runway. Tried mindset for the first time and thought, wait a minute... this shit works.
2019–2025: The Era of Embodiment
“The version of me you see now? She didn’t just happen - she’s a decision.”
2019 – Married my man in the most intimate, love-drenched ceremony.
2021 – Bought our dream countryside house... but still felt empty. So I went INNNN on mindset work.
2022 – Maldives. Water villa. Cried from joy. No words. Just bliss.
2023 – Climbed Snowdon. Won Business Dev Manager of the Year. Still knew I wasn’t done.
2024 – Moved into a jungle villa in Bali. Launched The Mindset Model podcast with zero clue but full conviction.
2025 – Game. On. I stopped hiding. Launched The Mindset Model Ltd - my legacy, my purpose, my life’s work.
