Mindfulness Benefits in Life + Work with Sarah Ariaudo


Listen Later

Sarah Ariaudo has worked in oncology, treating patients, and managing cancer centers for over two decades. Her job required her to travel every 11-12 weeks, causing stress that slowly showed up as health issues. As a high-performing, ambitious woman, the thought of slowing down also felt uncomfortable. So, when her company underwent a massive reorganization, Sarah decided to take the opportunity to branch out and start her own consulting firm – and crushed it! In just four years, her company grew to a high SIX-FIGURE consulting services organization.
But her entrepreneurial story only began there...
After Sarah took a year-long break upon becoming a mom, she realized her life lacked a work-life boundary. The thought of balance and mental space became so strong that it took the form of a business idea, and Sarah started another company; but this time, she shifted her focus from consulting and implementations to mindfulness and mental well-being. Sarah’s new business centered around bringing mindfulness into cancer centers.
She joins me for this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur to narrate her inspiring journey as a passionate entrepreneur who is convinced about the importance of giving your mind the space it needs to grow.
Sarah and I dive into many other things, including:
>> Why you need to dedicate time for self-care: You must recharge and relax so you can bounce back as an entrepreneur. When you are positive and energetic, you’re able to transmit it to your employees too.
>> Why you must learn to say no: Prioritizing your time is important. If you keep saying yes to every work that pops up, how would you give yourself the time to pause, reflect, and re-charge?
>> How to gain confidence during speaking events: Slow down, formulate your thoughts, and be yourself while you speak. Your intention isn’t to please people; it is to speak your mind truthfully and completely.
>> Why you must follow your gut: Until you believe in yourself, no one else will. If your gut says yes, go for it. No second thoughts.
>> And more!
