Meet Sally

Mentor, mum, creative guide, double platinum recording artist, old school popstar.

"I am still singing and dancing in the kitchen most nights."

I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m Sally Polihronas — mentor, educator, and creative guide. My life has always lived at the intersection of creativity, wellness, spirituality, and business, shaped by decades inside the entertainment industry and a deep commitment to personal growth.

From a young age, I dreamed of being a performer. I had big dreams of becoming a popstar - and, in time, those dreams came true.

I began working professionally at just 11 years old in my hometown of Adelaide. At 23, I moved to Sydney and became part of Australia’s most successful girl band, Bardot.
What followed was a life I could never have fully imagined - success and visibility, pressure and reinvention, growth and deep self‑inquiry.

A Life Onstage and Behind the Scenes

Alongside my work as a performing and recording artist, songwriter, and media personality, I built a parallel career behind the scenes – producing live events, shows, and tours, and working across PR, marketing, licensing, and movement education.

Over the years, I’ve contributed to high‑profile events and productions including Kim and Khloé Kardashian events, the Sydney Comedy Festival, and served as Director of Live Experiences at FremantleMedia, working across global television brands such as The X Factor, Australia’s Got Talent, and Grand Designs.

I’ve also studied business, marketing, management, online business, and applied neuroscience — because understanding the mind, the body, and creative pressure matters when you’ve lived inside it.

But what matters most isn’t the titles.

It’s that I understand what it’s like to evolve — through success, through visibility, and through the quieter moments when life asks you to redefine who you are.

That’s the work I now guide others through.

“Family means everything to me. My greatest achievement by far is being a mum to my two beautiful girls.”

Motherhood Changed Everything

Family means everything to me. My greatest achievement by far is being a mum to my two beautiful girls.

Not only did I dream of becoming a popstar , I also dreamed of being a mum and creating a family.

I chose to step away from the spotlight to focus on motherhood, and it was the best decision of my life. That chapter shaped me deeply — as a woman, a creative, and a guide.

Becoming a mum has been a dream come true. The time I’ve had with my girls is, and always will be, priceless.

And for any women reading this who are still waiting for their own motherhood journey — I was 39 when I had my first daughter and 43 when I had my second. There is always time.

"I want to follow my passions and live with purpose but still be a hands on mum."

Things I love

I’m a gluten-free, dairy-free almond latte lover. I love 90s R&B and soul music — and nothing beats belting out an 80s power ballad while cooking (which is where you’ll usually find me at night).

I’ve lived low-tox for over 20 years and care deeply about clean living and wellness. I love working out, but nothing beats a local beach

I’m a sucker for dark chocolate. And my favourite people are soulful people.

“ My mission is to support, guide and inspire creatives to discover their true potential and to take action on their dreams.

My journey

1976

Born to Dance

Movement was my first language. From the beginning, performance wasn’t a hobby — it was devotion.

1987

Young Performer

At 11, I began working professionally as a performer — fashion parades, pantomimes, Disney and Warner Brothers shows, events, theatre, and commercial work. School holidays were spent on stage, building discipline, resilience, and a deep love for the craft.

90's

Foundations & Hustle

After high school, I balanced performing with formal study — completing certificates in Apparel and Fitness Leadership, followed by a Diploma of Business (Marketing & Management). Alongside study, I worked in marketing, promotions, venue management, and street media. I learned early that creativity and strategy don’t compete — they strengthen each other. I was preparing to leave performance behind… Then I auditioned for Popstars.

1999

Bardot

I became a member of Australia’s most successful girl group, Bardot. Two albums. Double platinum, platinum, and gold sales. National and international tours. Global releases. Award shows, media, and major stages. I lived the visibility, pressure, and intensity of success — from the inside.

2002

Life After Fame

Leaving the spotlight became a quiet initiation. This was a season of inner work — redefining identity beyond performance, reconnecting with my body and intuition through music, movement, yoga, and conscious living. This chapter shaped the woman and mentor I would become.

2004

Creative exploration

I built my own freelance business, consulting across creative projects while teaching dance and working as a movement coach. I produced a short documentary, hosted the Adelaide Fashion Festival, and experimented widely — searching for the next expression of my creative self.

2006

The Gypsy Years

Living out of a suitcase, I travelled through LA, New York, Europe, and lived and worked in London. Along the way, I up-skilled in digital media and gained a deep understanding of emerging platforms — knowledge that would later inform my strategic work with creatives.

2010

Producer Era

Back in Sydney, I stepped fully behind the scenes — producing tours and events for the Sydney Comedy Festival, The Comedy Store, Century Venues, and working in PR. These years were demanding, formative, and identity-shifting. I claimed my capabilities beyond the popstar label.

2012

Director Of Live - Fremantle Media Australia

I stepped into my dream role, developing live extensions for major television brands including The X Factor, Grand Designs, Neighbours, and Australia’s Next Top Model. I helped create the X Factor live tours and gained deep insight into large-scale production, brand alignment, and creative leadership at the highest level.

2014

Family

I met my husband, married, and became a mother — a role that reshaped everything. I paused my career to be present with my two daughters, embracing conscious parenting and a slower, more grounded season of life. I paused my career to focus fully on my two girls, embracing my dream of being a hands-on mum. Those years were priceless: a deep dive into conscious parenting, raising healthy little people, and discovering a new dimension of love, patience, and presence.

2016

Study & Inner Work

Driven by curiosity, I deepened my understanding of human potential — completing B School and a Certificate in Neuroscience (Brain Health & Wellness). Alongside study, I mentored creatives in branding, clarity, and alignment.
