For today’s episode, we are delighted to bring back a beloved alumni of Your Clear Calling!

Are you struggling to align creating an intuitive, fulfilled life with a career to match?

In this episode, Your Clear Calling (YCC) alumni Sarah Castle shares about how the course helped her move from Amazon executive to college professor and launching her own business.

Before YCC, Sarah carried work home with her every day. She knew she needed to make a change, but didn’t know how to make the leap.

You’ll hear how Sarah decoupled her worth from her job in order to reallocate time to her family, friends, community, and things she loves to do. Hear about the unexpected benefit of incremental changes towards a goal…. even when the timing doesn’t feel right.

The TOP Learnings in this episode: 

• Decoupling self-worth from day job (9:30)
• How small practical actions open doors for a future calling (13:59)
• How voicing vision and goals accelerates progress (16:27)
• An understanding of self-worth allows you to set clearer boundaries (21:34)
• Being super aligned with your purpose lets you set intentional goals (27:16)
• Be ready to say yes to things that may be different (34:04)

 Sarah is the founder of Castle Coaching & Consulting, a firm focused on helping individuals and companies get clear on what they want, and then, going after it! Prior to starting her business, Sarah was an executive at Amazon, where she worked for 15 years. There she held a variety of roles in mergers & acquisitions, investment fund portfolio management, digital devices, Amazon Alexa voice technology, digital and print books, and human resources.

Through all of this experience, she honed in on her purpose – transforming organizations and elevating leaders. Now, she's working in my purpose every day by being a coach, consultant, and speaker. Outside of her business, she lives a full life where she's a mother, mentor, entrepreneurship professor, non-profit board member, published author, athlete, home cook, and an all-around badass!
