I've had a career full of reinventions — from nursing and midwifery to NHS project management, a national Department of Health role, midwifery educator and quality coordinator in New Zealand, life coaching, travel writing, and finally Google Ads, which I've been doing since 2018.
In May 2025 I went fully freelance as Sandbar Solutions, and in June I became a founding member of Mike Rhodes' Ads to AI Mastermind. Now AI is woven into everything I do. I use 8020Brain every single day — a personal AI-powered "business brain" that handles client work, content, planning, and decision-making. I'm not a tech guru; I'm a practitioner who figured out what actually works.
Four ways to get confident with AI — whether you're just curious, already using it for PPC, have a Brain, or want AI working across your whole business.
Curious about AI but not sure where to begin? I'll walk you through the basics in plain English — what's worth your time, what to ignore, and how to start using AI tools with confidence. No tech background needed.
You know AI is valuable but you can't get past the "I'm not techy enough" feeling. I've been exactly where you are. In two sessions, I'll show you it's far more straightforward than you think — and you'll leave having used AI on your own accounts.
Already have an 8020Brain but feel stuck? I'll show you what your Brain can really do — with custom reports built specifically for your business during our sessions.
Want to understand how AI can save time and money in your business? I'll assess your workflows, identify the biggest opportunities, and give you a tailored action plan you can start using straight away.
The "too technical" excuse was just fear talking. Sandra offered to help, walked me through her setup, and by that evening I had my brain configured. Sometimes you just need the right guide.

After catching up with Sandi, everything finally clicked. She showed me how she uses it in her own work, gave me some simple things to test out, and helped me see that it's actually a lot more straightforward than I was making it out to be. Now, instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel more confident than ever about using AI.

I'm just so impressed by how much you help everyone else. You're a joy to have in the community. What you're building every day with the brain is EXACTLY why I started this group and created the brain.
