Sarah was a rule follower, doing everything “right” — corporate job, three kids, non-stop hustle — until COVID forced her to pause. A missed promotion and the loss of her brother sparked deep reflection, grief work, and a powerful shift: from pushing to flowing, from performing to asking What do I want? She shares how intuition, healing, and self-love led her to a more aligned life — and a bold new path forward.

Highlights from our conversation:

* Life pre-COVID: Managing chaos at work and home: three kids, leading a team of 70, and climbing the corporate ladder.

* Self-described rule follower, she followed all the rules early on in the pandemic until she could no longer make sense of it all

* The breaking point: A missed promotion sparked deep reflection and opened the door to coaching, self-discovery, and a mindset shift that changed everything.

* Learning to trust her intuition: Daily journaling, grief recovery work, and spiritual connection guided her to a more fulfilling, self-loving life.

Quote to carry with you:“I was climbing the corporate ladder because it was what I was supposed to do — not what I actually wanted to do.”
