Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

How do we create a life that is a true expression of who we are?

Today, my soul-sister Sarah Jenks joins the show for an incredibly powerful conversation. Before Sarah had kids, she devoted years of her life to being at peace with her body. The freedom and joy she experienced birthed her international program, Live More Weigh Less, where thousands of women have found freedom from emotional eating and fallen in love with their bodies. Live more weigh less was celebrated in publications such as Forbes, Success Magazine, Health Magazine, Parenting Magazine and Martha Stewart Living.

After Sarah had her first child, she felt like all of the freedom, magic, and sparkle of her life and soul were sucked out of her. Being a mother was so all-consuming, and she realized she was falling into the trap that so many women get stuck in. The trap of putting everybody's happiness before our own.

Sarah spent many years in a tireless search for her soul through working with shamans, coaches, spiritual teachers and traveling to many sacred sites. This helped Sarah land in a life that feels like a true expression of who she is. Sarah rarely does things that she doesn't want to do + she feels fully supported by her husband in their home life.

Sarah has an incredibly deep connection with her kids, husband, soul, nature, and the magic that exists in the world around us. Now Sarah stands for women to end the pattern of taking scraps after everyone in their lives has feasted.

In this episode, Sarah Jenks and I talk about navigating the internalized ways the patriarchy gets us stuck and how women need a sacred feminine practice to understand their life and the world. Through Sarah's transformational work, she teaches us how to reconnect with our relationships with ourselves, our marriage, our motherhood and our nature.

How are you fostering self-expression?

We each have unique tools that allow us to produce our own personal signature of contribution; we are born this way. Just like no two children have created the exact same piece of artwork- through our own distinctive lens, the way we see the world is not one and the same.

We have the opportunity to consider that the world is waiting for the gift of our art. Plus, our art can express itself in any way that aligns with our most significant offering. Our businesses are an extension of this art. It's time to align with our universal truths and understand that our hearts are here to serve a purpose.

In this Episode You'll Learn:

• About the unique tools that each of us hold [ 1:20 ]
• How people can see the same image differently [ 3:10 ]
