Sarah Shotts is a visual storyteller based in Northwest Arkansas. She earned a bachelor’s degree in performing arts at Mississippi University for Women. She continued her studies abroad, earning a master’s degree in applied drama from Goldsmiths University of London. Sarah is passionate about grand adventures and capturing the micro-adventures in the everyday. She blogs at www.lovelettertoadventure.com. She recently launched a kickstarter campaign called Project STIR. Project STIR is a culmination of Sarah’s passions for food, family and adventure.
It was so much fun chat with Sarah about what success means to her, how she got to her current definition and her latest project, Project STIR!
We start out as we do every week by asking Sarah what her definition of success is.
"I'm starting to really see the growth process itself as success, not just achieving a certain goal."
Sarah also talks about the struggle she had after getting her masters and finding the work she had hoped. She shares with us how she went through a period of feeling like she had to prove herself. A feeling we know many of us have had.
Sarah mentions lots of amazing people and courses that have inspired and shaped her journey.

We end our chat talking to Sarah about her latest project, something we are so thrilled to see launch!
Project STIR is a series of documentary films capturing the universal language of love in the family kitchen. The films will take place in kitchens around the world and will tell the stories of Abuelitas, Nans & Mamaws passing on their heirloom recipes to the next generation. But, this isn’t just about funding a film.
Our mission is to rekindle the family recipe. It is our hope that this project will inspire families to take the time to slow down and learn their own family’s heirloom recipes the world over. Families have volunteered to share their heirloom recipes in: France. New Zealand. Turkey. England. Panama. Wales. Spain. Norway. Slovenia. Grenada. Canada. Jamaica. Croatia.
Sarah Shotts, the director and creator of Project STIR, got the idea after documenting a local family’s chicken dumplin’ recipe. That first film really resonated with people and started a growing conversation about family recipes in her blog community.
