Meet Sally

Mentor, mum, creative guide, double platinum recording artist, and 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 been a blend of creativity, wellness, spirituality, and business, shaped by decades in 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 as a performer at age 11 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, visibility, pressure, reinvention, and growth.

Alongside my life as a performing and recording artist, songwriter, and media personality, I built a career behind the scenes — producing live events, shows, and tours, working across PR, marketing, licensing, and teaching dance and movement.

Over the years, I’ve worked on high-profile events and productions including Kim and Khloé Kardashian events, the Sydney Comedy Festival, and as Director of Live Experiences at FremantleMedia, contributing to 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 where you’re called to redefine yourself.

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.”

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

I took time 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

Born to dance and perform. Nothing else that set my heart on fire. My whole childhood was devoted to movement and developing as a performer.

1987

Young Performer

At age 11 I started working as a professional performer. My first jobs were children's fashion parades, pantomimes, Disney and Warner Brothers shows. Performing every school holiday break through out my entire school life. Plus product launches, events, theatre shows and dancing in nightclubs.

90's

Acomplishments

After high school, I worked extensively as a performer while also committing to formal study. I completed certificates in Apparel and Fitness Leadership, followed by a Diploma of Business, majoring in Marketing and Management. Alongside my studies, I worked in marketing and promotions at Heaven Nightclub and the Newmarket Hotel in Adelaide. I booked bands, managed entertainment, oversaw marketing and promotions, and was part of The Buzz street magazine team. I hustled. I worked or studied day and night for years — always balancing performance with the business side of the industry. I understood early that creativity and strategy didn’t need to compete; they could coexist. By the end of my Diploma, I was moving deeper into marketing and business and had begun to consider putting performing aside. Then I auditioned for the reality TV show Popstars. I thought I was choosing a different path — but the universe had other plans.

1999

Bardot

In 1999, I auditioned for the reality TV show Popstars and became a member of Australia’s most successful girl group, Bardot. We released two albums with major record sales — double platinum, platinum, and gold — and completed two national concert tours. Our music was released across Australia, Asia, India, and the UK. We performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, including the ARIAs, the Bollywood Film Awards, and the MTV Asia Music Awards, among many others. Bardot appeared on countless television shows, magazine covers, radio programs, and live media performances. Beyond performing, I was also a songwriter, co-writing two tracks on our second album, Play It Like That.

2002

A Spiritual Chapter

Life after fame became a quiet initiation. This chapter of my life enriched my soul and invited me into a deeper understanding of who I was beyond being a performer. Away from the spotlight, I began to reconnect with myself in more meaningful ways. It was a time of personal growth, reflection, and healing — guided by music and songwriting, grounded through yoga and running, and supported by a commitment to conscious, plant-based living. This season shaped the woman I am today and laid the foundation for the work I now do with creatives seeking depth, balance, and truth in their own journeys.

2004

Goddess Entertainment

I built my own freelance business, consulting across creative projects while teaching dance and working as a movement coach. I tried everything in pursuit of what truly set my soul on fire. I produced a short documentary celebrating Adelaide talent and hosted the Adelaide Fashion Festival — experiences that stretched me creatively and professionally. Yet beneath it all, I felt restless. I wanted to travel more, to step outside the familiar, and to see life through a different lens.

2006

Travelling Gypsy Girl

I became a gypsy girl, living out of a suitcase — traveling through LA, New York, Europe, and living and working in London. I fulfilled travel dreams, met incredible people, and learned more about who I was and what I truly wanted from life. Eventually, I landed at an amazing digital media agency, and my world of media opened up. I up-skilled, gaining a deep understanding of the digital media landscape and the tools that would later shape my creative and strategic work.

2010

Senior Producer

Back in Sydney, I pivoted into producing. I worked as a senior producer for Century Venues, the Sydney Comedy Festival, The Comedy Store, and 6DC Public Relations. I produced events and tours from the ground up — and yes, these years were brutal. I worked hard, honed my skills, and established myself as a producer in my own right. This period shattered the old pigeonhole that my popstar past defined me. Going a little indie, I emerged as a new woman — confident, clear on my worth, and fully owning my capabilities.

2012

Director Of Live FMA

I manifested my dream role: Director of Live Entertainment at Fremantle Media Australia. In this position, I developed and managed live extensions for all FMA brands, including The X Factor, Grand Designs, Neighbours, and Australia’s Next Top Model. This role was incredible. I played a pivotal part in creating The X Factor live tours, and I learned so much about marketing large-scale events, managing licensed brands, and the intricacies of TV show branding. I gained a deep understanding of how production companies operate — from strategy to execution — and the importance of aligning creative vision with audience experience.

2014

Family

A hopeless romantic at heart, I spent years choosing the wrong partners — until I finally met my husband. In 2014 we married, and in 2015, we welcomed our first daughter. 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

Curiosity has always been my compass. During my career pause, I dove deep into human potential, completing Marie Forleo’s B School and a Certificate in Neuroscience – Brain Health and Wellness, constantly keeping my neurons firing and rewiring. Alongside study, I dedicated myself to mentoring — supporting others with branding, websites, industry insight, and the kind of soulful guidance that helps creatives live and work in alignment with their true selves.
