[Exclusive] Sarah Ashcroft Reveals The R...

GRACE BEVERLEY
About this episode

Today’s guest is someone you may remember from one of our most listened-to episodes of last year—Sarah Ashcroft. Sarah is one of the original fashion creators in the UK, and in our last episode, she took us through her  journey turning her online presence into the fashion powerhouse that was SLA The Label.


But since then, a lot has changed.


In Feburary this year, Sarah announced that SLA was closing. This episode is the first time she’s speaking on a podcast about that situation—what led to it, how it felt to walk away from something she built from the ground up, and what she’s learned in the months since.


This is a conversation about identity, pressure, clarity, and the harsh reality of running a business in public. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s going to resonate with anyone who's ever had to make a difficult decision or gone through a huge life change.I’m so grateful to Sarah for trusting us with this conversation.

RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed. As usual, sponsorships do not change my opinions nor my honesty, but I will always disclaim to make sure motives are clear 😊
