Show Up with Sarah

Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast! Today will be a solo episode. I've been wondering how I wanted to bring you solo episodes, and what struck me this week was the realization that I ask my guests to come here and share their origin stories with me and I am not with you. If I do the same with my clients, I have to do the same with you. I am very transparent.

“I think what I've learned is that I can literally go from rock bottom, and I'm still fine.” - Lauren Fielder 

“The first thing that we need to get you on board with is letting go of that shame, because it's not going to help you move forward, it's only that self judgment that keeps you in the past.

Welcome to another episode of Show Up with Sarah! Today we will be chatting with Jose Lugo who is now 34 years old. He would join an L.A. street gang when he was 16, and would be convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison at the age of 18. When he was paroled from prison, he vowed to himself that he would never go back and dreamed of one day telling the stories of his peers

In this episode, Jose shares with us how he would go through life never fully understanding the value in his own story. At the age of 31 he would return to jail for a D.U.I, and after his 3-day incarceration, he had lost all hope. He took inventory of his life and saw himself only as a criminal with no value. On the brink of taking his own life, he cried out to God and was able to remember a simple truth that he had believed as a child - that he as a person had inherent value and that his story had meaning. It was at that moment that he was able to find the value in his story once again.

Jose is the founder and lead creative of We Are All One Story. He currently travels the country listening to and sharing peoples stories. He also just finished his memoir, Love, Faith and Violence: A True Song and Story.

Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast! Today is going to be a solo episode because I feel compelled to discuss with you guys the idea of surviving vs. thriving. I decided that I wanted to discuss this because it's something that I noticed so much with not just my clients, but with everybody, myself included. And when I talk to people about surviving, usually the people who come to work with me, is because they have set in a survival technique or tactic that is now hindering themselves. Which now needs to be shifted from survival to thriving.

In this episode we will be talking about the difference between surviving and thriving, and how to switch from the former to the latter. Make sure to tune until the end, because I will be sharing a lot more personal stores that I’m sure you can learn something from. Let’s dive in!
