How to start one company while running another with Alex Noonan & Sarah Humphries, Co-Founders of The Review Works

Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the award-nominated beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart. And this is season four! Each episode, I sit down with a guest and ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them. The ones they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the beauty product that defined their teens, the one they grew up watching their mum or grandma use, or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. Today, my guest is Sarah Humphries, founder and director of Sydney-based boutique communications agency and PR firm Sarah Humphries Agency. She looks after some of the biggest beauty brands, including Lanolips, The Beauty Chef, Australis, Aceology, St Tropez, and the Jojoba Company. We talked about moving to London from Canberra at 21 and hustling to get her dream job, behind the scenes of the PR industry, how to know when the scariest decision is the right one, and the absolutely foolproof fake tan she swears by as a mum of two. She is brilliant, inspiring and so generous. As always if you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, rate five stars and write a review. And if you're listening, share a screenshot on your Instagram story and tag me @BEAUTYISLANDPODCAST so I can see! And if you enjoy this podcast, might I recommend my chat with Sarah's former boss and now client, Lanolips founder Kirsten Carriol. Just scroll through the feed or find the link in the shownotes. Now, over to Sarah. Enjoy. Follow host Brittany Stewart: Instagram: @brittanybeautybts @beautyislandpodcast Email: beautyislandpodcast@gmail.com Subscribe to It's A Beauty!
