Sippin Tea With Sarah

It’s been a minute, and whew… life has been LIFEING! ☕😂

I’m back with a little life update and plenty of tea to spill. From motherhood and keeping up with a million things at once to grief, caregiving, and navigating life with endometriosis, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes.

I’m also catching you up on my Endo awareness event, some recent adventures, birthday party planning for Eli’s first birthday, and everything else I’ve been trying to juggle lately.

This episode is a little bit of everything real life, motherhood, healing, chaos, and honest conversation. No perfect filters, no pretending to have it all figured out just me, catching up with you like we’re sitting down for a cup of tea.

Grab your favorite drink and come hang out with me. I’ve missed this! 🖤☕✨

It’s been a little while since I’ve put an episode out, but this one feels especially honest. I talk about where I’ve been, what I’ve been navigating, the things I’ve been listening to that have helped me, and what it’s really looked like trying to find pieces of myself again while becoming a mom and learning how to live alongside grief.

It’s a long one, but there was a lot I needed to say.

I also talk about the upcoming screening, an important event for Buffalo, Rochester, and communities throughout Upstate New York. This screening brings people together to raise awareness, share stories, and create meaningful conversations around the issues that affect so many of us.

I’m honored to highlight our incredible guest speakers, who will be sharing their experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. Their voices are an important part of this conversation, and I hope you’ll join us for this meaningful event.

I’m sharing an update after my colonoscopy, opening up about my fears surrounding my upcoming endometriosis surgery, and talking through the questions I plan to ask my doctor before moving forward.

We also dive into postpartum body image, learning to navigate weight changes, and what it’s been like trying to feel comfortable in my body again. I touch on manifestation, grief, friendships that have changed over time, and the challenges of explaining endometriosis to the people I love. It’s such a complex disease, and sometimes it’s hard to put into words what living with it is really like.

As always, this conversation is real, unfiltered, and a little ADHD style, so we bounce around from topic to topic, but I hope you’ll feel like you’re catching up with a friend over coffee.

Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, motherhood, healing, or simply trying to figure out life one day at a time, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.

This week’s episode is a true catchup. I’m sharing what’s been on my mind lately from preparing for another colonoscopy and being scared about surgery to recognizing the ways I’ve been gaslighting myself and learning to trust my own experiences.

I also chat about @everydaydose and its benifits I'm diving into Tana Mongeau podcast @brandsafepod and it really got me thinking about a lot of things . Celebrating my grandpa’s birthday, finally getting paid for the caregiving I do for him, #gardengummies , a quick ShopMy update, and a few thoughts on ADHD.

More than anything, this episode is about the importance of advocating for yourself. Whether it’s navigating chronic illness, dealing with the healthcare system, or simply learning to trust your own voice, I hope this conversation reminds you that your experiences matter.

I’m also looking for guest speakers for an upcoming screening of Endo the Cycle. If you’re passionate about endometriosis awareness, advocacy, or sharing your story, id love to connect DM Me .

It's been a while and I think it's because between grieving so much loss this year and just having a deal with so much the past couple of months, it's been hard to talk about all the happy things and there's so much sadness going on. That being said, I wanted to give an update on my endometriosis journey, my grieving journey, being a new mom, postpartum and summer plans/things that will be going on. I have a lot of planed for the podcast so to bear with me as the chronic fatigue and flare ups have been legit often and taking me out without being said we will get through it.

In this episode of Sippin Tea With Sarah, I’m talking about the passing of my father, chronic illness, caregiving, postpartum life, friendship, and the complicated reality of carrying grief while still trying to move forward.

I open up about how chronic illness can last a lifetime and how remission does not always mean something is gone forever. Advocacy is a huge focus in this episode because being heard matters, especially in healthcare. Advocacy has become such an important part of my life and something my father believed in deeply as well.

I’m also sharing updates on the 716 Endometriosis support group, upcoming events, and the exciting traction and community support the group has been gaining.

Alongside the heaviness, I also talk about my baby, some of the milestones he’s reaching, and the light and joy he brings during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Advocacy matters because people’s lives depend on being heard. This one is for you, Dad.

In this episode, I talk about the emotional reality of having my dad in the ICU and the strength it takes to advocate for him alongside my sister. I also reflect on my postpartum journey , navigating motherhood, body changes, and rediscovering my voice after everything my body has been through with endometriosis. I share honest thoughts and questions around GLP-1 medications, along with personal growth and what it really means to evolve in a season that feels both overwhelming and transformative.

Welcome to the shit show.

This episode is a real, unfiltered life update , because honestly, that’s where I’m at right now.

I’m talking about my dad being in the ICU, the emotional toll of that, and what it’s like navigating medical trauma from a completely different perspective. On top of that, I’m in the middle of postpartum dealing with body image, hormone shifts, not feeling like myself, and the pressure to “bounce back.”

I also touch on Endometriosis Awareness Month, advocating for yourself in medical spaces, trying to get back into movement (hi Apple Watch), and what healing actually looks like when life doesn’t slow down and so much more .

As I step into 34, I’ve been reflecting on what 33 truly taught me about motherhood, grief, body image, resilience, and becoming someone new while still honoring who I’ve always been.

Postpartum changed me in ways I’m still unpacking. Living with endometriosis continues to shape how I advocate for myself and my health. Motherhood has softened me and strengthened me at the same time teaching me that loving myself isn’t optional anymore, it’s something I model for my son.

Birthdays feel different now. I feel gratitude more deeply, but I also feel grief more intensely especially missing my grandmother around this time of year. Growing older carries both joy and ache.

With March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I’ll also be sharing more about advocacy, education, and what’s ahead for our 716 endometriosis community. We have more planned for March and April, and I’m so proud of how we continue to stand up, speak out, and support one another.

This episode is about growth. Caregiving. Healing. Gratitude. Grief. And stepping into 34 more grounded, more aware, and more intentional than ever.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real life postpartum check in from learning to set boundaries and advocate for my health, to slowly finding my way back into social spaces and normal routines. I open up about recent medical appointments, navigating ongoing endometriosis pain, and exploring possible answers for other autoimmune related symptoms, while emphasizing how meaningful it is to feel genuinely heard and supported by attentive providers.

I also talk about the small steps I’m taking to care for myself, getting back into events and community even when it feels a little awkward at first, and giving myself grace through motherhood and sleep deprivation. We reflect on Valentine’s Day and how love and celebration don’t have to fit one mold whether it’s romantic, family centered, or simply about self appreciation.

I share a quick note of gratitude for those who’ve been sending kind messages and manifesting alongside me, and close with a reminder that healing, boundaries, joy, and evolving into new versions of ourselves can all exist at the same time.
