As we enter the new year, Sara shares how important Forgiveness is, not only in our personal lives, but in our professional and business lives as well. We all communicate and better and feel better when we leave grudges behind. None of us can be perfect all of the time, so let’s remember to be forgiving of others. Sara talks about her 3 reasons Forgiveness is so important in life and work:

1.It promotes better conflict resolution. It promotes teamwork and collaboration.

2.It is important in relationships. Your most important relationship is with yourself. Forgive yourself first. This can lead to being happier with yourself and better relationships with others.

3.It promotes growth. If in business we are forgiving of others, then people won’t be afraid to suggest and/or try new things. They can get creative without fear of negative reactions.

Sara also tells the story of a trip with Joe and her son to visit colleges. It highlights how important it is to make things happen. Take the chance, make the effort. It’s the only way you may get great results. And someone has to do it, it may as well be YOU!!

So, here’s to a great 2025, making things happen, and not holding grudges. And most importantly working together for the OPTIMUM results in all areas of our lives!

In this episode, Sara talks about the chaos of information and misinformation bombarding us at every turn and the task of distinguishing true from false. The true north of getting through this, is listening to ourselves and our inner knowing. Sara gives the example of reading a story on social media and knowing deep inside that it couldn’t be true. After scrolling to the very bottom, she read “this is for entertainment purposes only. This did not really happen.” How many of us don’t scroll to the end? It is so hard to know what’s real and what isn’t.

The toll this takes is huge. We start to not know and not trust anything. So, that is the time to take a pause, connect again with your inner self, and listen to answers that come to us when we are still. You will know what you know.

For the new year, 2025, don’t get caught up in it all to the point where you question yourself. Question the information, not yourself. And when you connect to yourself, you can more easily connect with others.

Here’s to a Happy 2025! Sara is going into it with the the way she lives her life: With Truth, Inspiration and Hope.

We wish you a New Year of truth, clarity and trust in yourself!

It’s the Holiday Season and Sara wants us all to pat ourselves on our backs: We all made it through 2024! She reminds us to feel the gratitude for simply being here: The memories, the experiences, and knowing all the amazing things still to come up for each of us.

Sara shares the great Christmas gift she worked on for her 3 sons. She put together a 70 page book of photos that takes the boys through their lives. She had so much fun putting it together and she is as excited about it as she knows each son will be. A reminder that there can be as much joy for the gift giver creating and giving as hopefully there will be for the gift receiver.

Holiday time is a time for rest, a time for festivities, a time for family (whatever yours may look like), and a time for seeing the good in the world. It is time to acknowledge and appreciate the gift in everything, and most important the gift in yourself!

Wishing all of you a beautiful holiday and transition to the New Year. Next week’s episode will be about 2025 and things to be super conscious of.

Wishing you all the best and know we are grateful for all of you!

The new year is approaching. We always hear about setting our goals for the new year and 2025 is almost upon us. Sara talks about spinning “goals” on their head a bit, and she shares her new way of approaching what she wants to accomplish for 2025 in this episode.

Goals are great. It’s important to write down what you want to accomplish, as it makes it clear and you can refer to it. Sara definitely says she’s all for goal setting if that’s what works for you.

Her new twist though, that’s working for her, is flipping it to “What is Your Intention?” She wants the best of herself, to be authentic, share her gifts, be a better Leader. And she loves to simplify it to this question: “Who do you want to be the last day of 2025?” If you don’t know today, it will come and you can define it throughout the year. She also uses this: “I ask my 108 year old self What would I say about my life” and it gets her to think seriously of each year reflecting on who she is and who she wants to be every year.

By thinking this way, Sara says you sort of retro-fit it. You work backwards to work towards what you want to be on that last day of the New Year.

So remember to: Define where you want to be, How you want to feel, Who you want to be, What does your business look like, etc on the last day of 2025.

You may want to try it this way and see if it works for you! Keep us posted on your journey!!

In this episode, Sara talks about Consistency. How can we be consistent in our own lives to build our goals, when we are pulled in so many directions?

Sara gives us some tips for making consistency work for us:

Be clear on your goals. Designate what you want to achieve for Q1, Q2, etc. She is an advocate of smaller goals. Don’t start with goals for 3 years. Stick with first quarter of the year, next quarter, etc. Ask what success looks like. What do you want to achieve? We often want it all NOW, which isn’t helpful. Slow and steady wins the race.

Develop routines and systems. Block scheduling works well for Sara. She looks at emails, then exercises, etc, all in 2 hour blocks.

Communicate and Reinforce your expectations. Say what you need to yourself and to others. Set agreements with them. Let them know what you need to do, what you may not be there for. Agreements work both ways to feel clear- and helps others and you be supportive through the process.

A New Year is approaching and what better time to set your goals, approach with Consistency and Go for your Win!

So, it’s that time of year again- a time where we honor and show love and care through gift-giving. Sara talks about the points to think of when figuring out individual gifts. She definitely wants us to know that often times, the best gifts are not bought at a store.

There are gifts of “experiences” for the recipient and/or the giver and recipient together. Sometimes there can be home-made gifts like pottery or a meaningful framed photograph. Sometimes it can be a concept: Sara shares that one year she gave her sons money and gave them explicit instructions about talking to a financial planner and helped them begin to understand the world of savings, investing, and looking towards their financial future. It was something the boys did together and was meaningful in a different way than a store bought gift.

So, how do you start to think of meaningful gifts for those you care about? First is to pay attention to what the person likes. Sara so appreciated when Joe knew the shampoo and conditioner she always uses, and made sure to have it in his bathroom for her.

It shows caring and noticing what brings the other person some joy.

Here are some steps from Sara:

Pay attention to what each person likes, what they mention they need, etc.

Give experiences you know fits the person or something you know they have been hesitant to take the first step. It can be hiking a mountain together and getting them some of the gear, etc.

Notice what’s important to their own goals and dreams. Help them towards that. Know their values. It can be anything from guitar lessons to some part of starting a business, etc.

Most important is to get creative, don’t assume you need to get a sweater at the store (though that’s great, too). There are many things you can do or make that truly value the person and show how much you care about them.

And finally, find the JOY in GIVING this holiday season!!!

Sara asks the question: What type of culture are you creating within your everyday existence: personal, day to day, business or corporate culture. She cites that healthy corporate cultures perform exponentially better.

In our everyday lives, it is essential to bring any underlying wrongs to the surface, which is the only way to get rid of them, and then create a healthier existence. We are all the leaders of our own lives. We are leaders that have courage, confidence, knowing. As good leaders, we see and correct any bad underlying elements that are keeping us from a Healthy Culture. Know your values for yourself and as a leader create the same in your “culture” - These are non-negotiables.

Sara’s non-negotiables are Peace, Freedom and the Space to Create. What are yours? What do you want for your personal life? Your business life?

Remember: Jf you Play Smart, all else wlll follow.

Listen to the episode and join us in creating your own healthy and thriving culture!

Sara shares with us in this episode the process of shifting, navigating differently in the act of up-levelling. When you know what’s right for you and it’s time to shift to that, it is hard work, but Sara stresses the point that you are NOT starting over which can sound drastic, you are rather Starting AGAIN. You have learned from previous experience, ideas and solutions that you have already created in your life. This can lessen the fear of this new territory - your foundation has been set. Sara talks about moving toward Keynote speaking which she realized was the culmination of all her experiences and her passionately wanting to share what she’s learned with a large audience. This episode is about moving from INTIMIDATION to MOTIVATION.

Here are some tips from Sara for those going through this next phase in their journey:

Whatever you want to do, you’ve created solutions in the past. Build on what you’ve done that worked before.

Find people that can help you and brainstorm with you to create what you want to create.

Reverse engineer: See and feel the end-result of what you want. See yourself there already. Then start to take the steps that get you there.

Step away, take your time in creating what you are wanting. Patience is key.

Sara reflects over the last 12 years, finding her purpose and what that looked like over time with many questions, a lot of research, and some self-doubt along the way.

Now, her purpose and how that shows up is reflected in a new re-brand, which includes a new website, a new speaker’s reel and much more. (see below for a gift for our listeners).

Sara talks to all of her listeners and knows many are going through the creation of a new business and the hard work, exhaustive twists and turns, and questioning that this entails.

After her “lifequake” Sara knew she had a lot to share, but it took a bit to figure out how to do that and what they real messaging was. She started with a blog, and her coaching and her love of nature, and it coalesced into her first adventure retreat down the Grand Canyon. Here, she could be in nature, expose others’ to it, and add her knowledge and coaching skills to help people use the experience to build confidence and tools to take their next steps in life.

These progressed to more of those and other adventure retreats, plus this podcast, her new site, and knowing she is meant to speak to large groups led to her preparing her Keynote Speaker reel and talks.

You can see all of this on her new website and her speakers reel which is on the site and on You Tube.

Sara reminds us to start by taking the very first step. Each next step will follow.

Here are her tips to begin:

Create a vision

Find someone to support you

Stand up for yourself (Do not pay attention to the naysayers)

Remember to Grow Your Gift!! Believe in yourself and what you know you have to offer. See it happening. Go through any days of doubt or darkness and know you will come out of it… and keep moving Forward.

Do you sometimes feel like you may be “too much” for your partner? Do you sometimes feel like they want you to “dim your light” a bit? Is your confidence lessened from their reaction to you? Sara and Joe talk about how it’s not really ok for someone to not grant you space for all of your amazingness.

This can be in a relationship, a friendship, a job- stay aware when others are making you feel like you need to pull back. It’s most times not at all about you- it’s usually something in them that makes them uncomfortable, threatened, takes work on their part.

Don’t dim your light. Joe and Sara talk about wanting each to be the best they can be and achieving what they are passionate about. They say that communication is key, always. As Sara pursues her big dreams, including a re-brand of her website, and booked to speak to thousands of people as a Keynote speaker, she has kept Joe as part of the process. He says he so appreciates the constant communication and it keeps him supportive rather than wanting her to be less..

Sara’s advice for you to stay as you need to be:

Make a list of the most amazing parts of who you are. As Sara says “I like my loud laugh”, even though it may be too much for someone.

Challenge critical thoughts and feedback of others. Don’t accept their thoughts as the only word. They are coming from their own issues.

Set boundaries. Do not accept everyone’s feedback. Your boundaries may not make everyone happy. Someone may get upset if you suddenly stop doing everything for them. That’s not on you. That’s potential growth for both of you.

Sara and Joe have a definite message: You are perfect as you are.
