LIVE BOLDLY with Sara

Sara and Joe talk about Happiness, each of their separate journey’s and now their time together. They talk about mid-life for men and Joe recounts steps he’s taken to achieve the life he knew he wanted for the second part of his life.

For Sara and Joe, they were both immersed in a lot of deep reflective work before they reconnected. They each had looked at what wasn’t working for them, what they definitely wanted and didn’t want for the future, faced issues head on, delved into writings and teachings of those that helped to name it, change it and ultimately manifest it. The hard work has paid off for each of them. They found each other again after 30 years. They communicate now on a different level than they had with previous significant others, and are clear on what their priorities are. They can now approach life with more mature and wise emotional tools- and love.

Sara shares 6 reasons for why doing the hard work is more than worthwhile:

1 We will all go through transitions and change. Doing the work helps these changes to flow more easily.

2 It helps you address unresolved issues from family, business, generational. By working on these, we release sabotaging ourselves and holding ourselves back from the most beautiful life.

3 Reclaim your own authenticity. Define what you really like, want, who you truly are. You can find and define real happiness and joy and go for that.

4 Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health. We inherently want to grow. Not doing the work stagnates us.

5 It helps our own relationship with our internal self and can improve our relationships with others around us in work, family, relationships,

6 It helps you redefine success and purpose and what they truly mean to you now.

Sara and Joe both individually were on a path of doing the work, both wanting to put in the time to assure their brightest future happiness. When they met up again after a long time, they were equally ready for their new lives – and are creating the life they worked on having.

Sara just completed her re-upping of her Wilderness First Responder Certification last week. She has always felt it a gift to be able to have this certification and to help someone in distress. And as she began to think about the times she or others have actively participated in helping someone, she also began to think of those she’s witnessed that stand on the sideline and don’t step up.

Are they too afraid to step up? Afraid to be the lead? There was a tv show years ago called “What Would You Do?”. Sara asks would you lead with kindness and jump in or would you walk away?

She questions the premise that it’s best to “Mind your own Business” vs “Reach out and Help”. She asks us to question at what point is it NOT ok to mind our own business?

In this episode Sara asks us to give this thought. Think also about if you were in need of help, what would you want someone else to do? Sara remembers in 1984 when a tornado wiped out her town. The biggest impact was how the community all pitched in and helped those that were in distress or just needed extra help. That impact on how she wanted to be in this world was greater than the tornado’s destruction.

Sara reminds us that you can influence a person’s life if you help them and they may do the same later for someone else.

Let’s remember to always help others and even when afraid, jump in anyway and be the person not just watching from the side. It’s just the way we need to be: Helping and caring. We are all connected.

Sara and her boyfriend, Joe, went with another friend on a 12-day trek in the High Sierra. While there, friends kept asking “how’s it going?” “Will your relationship survive this?” Sara realized we have a tendency to bolt when things get tough, especially when our history has had trust- breaking trauma. We are scared to be in that situation again. We often decide we rather be single and independent forever. This journey actually made Sara realize that if you allow yourself to trust, to be dependent in the good ways, the results are the most beautiful.

So Sara, now back, thought a lot about what she and Joe went through. Tough hiking, fearful moments, deep emotional reactions, tackling the elements, being with just the 3 of them for 12 days in the wilderness with no other distractions but the beauty around them, and forging their way forward.

Sara realized that actually going through hard times and challenges actually deepens the relationship, and isn’t something to run from, but rather let yourself go through it and come out stronger on the other side, which they definitely did.

She shares her reasons why it’s good to go through challenges together and what it can do for a relationship. Listen to each item in depth in this podcast:

1 Shared experiences

2.Trust and Dependence

3.Improves communication

4.Heightens Empathy and compassion

5.Mutual Support and Growth

6. Strengthens the commitment

7.Allows for more gratitude and appreciation

The most beautiful outcome for two people who were afraid to allow themselves to be vulnerable again, is that they know they are not doing this alone anymore. They have each others’ backs, will support each other through highs and lows, and can communicate how they are truly feeling about fears, but also gratitude and appreciation.

Do you have a problem(s)? Probably each of us has at least one if not several. Sara’s podcast is about problem solving. How do we bridge the gap between our current state to our desired state. And how do we get from point A to B? Sara just got back from the High Sierra and charting their own trails. At one point, she looked from a ledge and saw their next pass that looked like a meteorite just dropped to earth. This meant climbing over a lot of small rocks and she was hit with fear.

As they charted out how and began the journey, she realized she was doing it. She was getting from point A to Point B and once she arrived at the destination, she looked back at the point where she was so scared, where the problem seemed so enormous, and realized that the closer you get to the problem, and chart a course, it is easier to move towards your goal. Get close enough to see clearly. We can use some of the 35,000 decisions we make a day, to get closer to the problem, chart a course, start on it, and as we move towards our desired goal, we see it more and more clearly.

Remember to:

Here’s to solving a problem and getting to the point you desire!

So many of us feel guilty when we take time for ourselves. We think we are taking time away from our children or loved ones and wind up feeling guilty. Often, we go away and spend the time feeling guilty instead of using the time to fill ourselves up. Sara’s solo episode talks about how important it is to in fact take that time—with no guilt.

She put that into practice and sticks to it by taking some time away from home on her own at the end of August.

She uses it to recharge and come back invigorated, excited and appreciative. She shares her 3 tips for reasons it’s important to take time for ourselves w/o the guilt.

So, go ahead and prioritize yourself for needed time, whether it’s a day or a week. Do it without guilt, do something you love or something you know you need and reap all the rewards for you and also those you come back to.

Sara in this solo episode talks about Transition: whether it be back to school time (college or regular school), having to move, relationship or job change, mid-life transitions, etc.

Sara shares that she is going through an imminent transition herself, having to move out of her back house/office that she hadn’t planned on.

At first, she was distraught, anxious, ungrounded and then as she sat with it , she began to come around to excitement for change. She began to look at it as an adventure and exploration rather than that life is falling apart.

We all go through small and large transitions all through our lives. How we react to them can change from devastating to exciting new roads ahead.

Here are some of Sara’s tips for going through a transition. Listen to the podcast for all the details of each!

1.Embrace flexibility and open mindedness.

2.Focus on what we can control and what is unfolding for you.

3.Seek support and stay connected through the transition. It can be via a therapist, a coach, friends, family, mentors. And most importantly stay connected with yourself first.

So, if you are pulling up your anchor and going through a transition, flow through it, it could be a very exciting time coming!

The journey is so worthwhile!

In this episode Sara gives her tips about not being so quick to judge. She reminds us the bigger wins of being compassionate and forgiving.

Judgement can have a negative effect on your children, relationships, and yourself.

Sometimes you need to put yourself in the other person’s shoes, or understand there may be circumstances you know nothing about that make the behavior you witness, necessary.

Also, judging less can make you happier by spending time on more positive emotions.

The key is to have compassion and also forgiveness for yourself and others.

Here are Sara’s 4 thoughts on judgment. Listen to the episode for more in-depth on each tip:

1.Distinguish between an action vs. the whole person.

2.Ask what I really know about this person and myself when I judge.

3.Reflect how it feels to be judged yourself.

4.Notice the negative impact of your judgement of yourself and relationships.

Remember compassion and forgiveness are the way to be more loving than judgmental —for yourself and others.
