Today we chat with Sara Koppa, who brings us on a journey of exploration. Sara shares about exploring the depths of her inner self, finding courage to take the leap toward her heart's desires, traveling with her family, and her path to empowering others through destination retreats. Sara provides a supportive mirror to your own life's choices and journey, sharing that while there is a lot of positivity and support on her path, there have been many challenges, struggles, and emotional points which she has had to face and overcome.
Through her winding path through medicine, science, and trusting herself, she found her heart's passion in sharing the power of sisterhood and nature with others, and bringing together women in a retreat setting to support transformation and community. This conversation will surely leave you with a spark of curiosity around finding adventure, joy, travel, and community in your own way.
