HI, I’M SARAH
I help you have success without burnout, and reclaim time, health, peace, energy, and confidence while doing extraordianry work, and leading a life you love.
MY STORY
-
SUCCESSFUL ON PAPER
I was a creative, anxious high achiever who wanted to prove I was good enough, so I mastered, and achieved to prove it. In spite of early success, I’d internalized I wouldn’t make it as a singer/actor, so I gave up my professional performance career, in pursuit of the “right” path. That led me to start-ups in tech. I worked my way up from a customer service rep who could barely pay rent, to leadership as an Executive/VP and then Founder. On the outside, I was wildly successful:money, house, status, enviable career, & the perfect family.

FALLING APART INSIDE
But the truth is, on the inside, I was falling apart. I was burned out, chronically ill, I buried my feelings, and prioritized everyone else around me. I lacked confidence in who I was, especially outside of work - which was where I derived all my self-worth. I hit rock bottom. My hair was falling out, I had chronic anxiety, IBS, quit jobs, lost my house, and got divorced during COVID with a CPTSD & Generalized Anxiety diagnoses to boot.

CALM, CONFIDENT, & THRIVING
But everything changed when I graduated as an ICF Certified Coach. My life completely transformed:
★ I gained clarity in who I was, and what I wanted in my life, legacy, and career vs. what others expected of me, plus I had the courage to get it.
★ I learned the power of centering our well-being to our success, to doing our best work, and in fulfillment in our lives.
★ Developed resilience and stress management tools to survive anything that work or life threw at me (and I mean anything...).
