Sarah McDermott

Sarah McDermott is a Yorkshire entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of Rebellion Life, a philosophy and movement built on one radical idea: that chaos isn't something to survive. It's something to harness.

She built a property portfolio worth over 20 million pounds, then watched it fall apart during one of the most challenging periods of her life and business. Rather than rebuilding the same version of success, she did something even harder. She told the truth about who she was, what she'd been chasing, and what it had cost her.

From that reckoning, Rebellion Life was born, and with it, CHAOS: The Art of Resilience.

Her debut book is part raw memoir, part practical field guide, a bold and unapologetic guide to rebuilding a life and business on your own terms, drawn from lived experience of success, loss, reinvention, and rebellion. It is not a motivational manual. It is a framework for people who know there has to be a truer way forward and are ready to find it.

Sarah works with founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are not here to live small, play safe, or follow the script. She is a speaker, mentor, and rebellious leader for those who want a bigger life, a braver business, and a success story that actually feels like theirs.

She remains CEO of Luxury Travel Emporium, one of Yorkshire's most distinctive luxury holiday accommodation brands, while building her next chapter through writing, speaking, and the Rebellion Life movement.

An extrovert with a mission to spread joy, she believes that putting smiles on faces is both a serious business strategy and a life philosophy.
