Sara Dean is the creator and host of the Shameless Mom Academy Podcast, which has been featured in 5 categories of iTunes New & Noteworthy for almost 2. Sara’s biggest passion is helping women own their space. After enduring her own identity crises following the birth of her son, Sara took her background in psychology/health/wellness and rebuilt her identity, one step at a time. Sara motivates and inspires women to stop shrinking and start growing.  She is on a mission to inspire women and moms, in particular, to live bigger, bolder, braver #everydamnday.

Listen in as Sara shares her story of how she went from working in a children’s psychiatric hospital for seven years to becoming a fitness instructor to running her own business and podcast supporting moms.

In this episode, we dive deep into Sara’s methods for slowly phasing out one side hustle to another, while creating space for the new before fully moving on (or as I like to call it, “taking the stairs”). We also go into how she maximized her time with her side hustles, how it wasn’t until she finally embraced being an entrepreneur that big shifts started happening, and how mindset is the only thing that really changed. We discuss the importance of knowing what you want to talk about every day for the rest of your life; figuring out what you are good at because no one can do you the way you do you; figuring out what mode of communication best fits your personality; and recognizing when you are doing something because of ego and getting in touch with your “why.”
