Do you ever catch yourself stuck in the same mental loops, replaying negative thoughts about your body, your energy, or your future? Science shows we think around 70,000 thoughts a day, and 90 percent are repeats. That constant replay can keep us trapped in patterns we don’t even realize we’re reinforcing.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Centrella, bestselling author, master life coach, and creator of the Centrella Method. When her marriage suddenly collapsed in 2008, Sarah was left as a single mom of three with no clear options. Instead of staying in survival mode, she created simple mindset tools that turned her entire life around.

Sarah reveals how her “mental tennis” technique can flip a negative thought in seconds, why daily affirmations are a powerful map for who you are becoming, and how “future boards” can make your biggest goals tangible. We also dive into why the myth that life gets worse after 40 is holding women back and how to reclaim real joy at any age.
