What if success isn't JUST about what you build- but actually how you live?

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to own your life with an incredibly seasoned and successful, self-made entrepreneur across multiple business models.

Kristen shares her thoughts on stepping out on our own, and the cost associated with charting your own course, along with the rewards .

In this conversation, we unpack systems, boundaries and mindsets that protect our freedom while we scale.

We cover:

Unlearning hustle just to hustle culture.

Walking away with true self-trust.

How we can treat our lives like a balance sheet- identifying early our most valuable assets and which hidden liabilities quietly drain our peace.

Press play and begin your own building!

In our first episode of 2026 and Season 2, we step inside CrossFit Ellis to talk about grit, fear, leadership and the quiet moments that turn a workout space into a workout family, with owner Aaron Mireles.

Beyond barbells and sweat, this is a conversation about learning to believe in yourself when you don't YET - and what happens when someone else believes in you first!

This episode is for:

-Anyone who has ever felt like they 'can't'.

-Anyone intimidated by a gym, fitness or starting over.

-Anyone craving community while doing hard things.

Because CrossFit Ellis isn' t just about the strength in the room. It's about showing up, doing your best, cheering on your friends and uncovering exactly what you are truly capable of!

Whether you are ready to dream bigger, find inspiration, simplify life, admit adulting is weird or just laugh with a likeminded community while you plan your next moves, this episode is a reminder that YOU are in the right place.

Here is to a year of growth, courage and clarity- LET'S GO 2026! Thank you for being part of this journey.

Thank you for all of the comments and messages on our first episode with Norma Frahn!

In this second episode we tackle listener-submitted questions about employee handbooks, HR processes and workplace rights.

Norma helps unpack what policies actually mean, the difference between 'policy' and a 'practice' , clarifies commonly missed workplace terminology and shares practical tools to navigate challenging workplace situations.

Workplace conflict happens- but confusion about employee rights shouldn't.

In this episode of So You Know, Sarah sits down with Norma Frahn, a Global HR Leader, Life Coach and Owner of On Demand HR Solutions. Together they unpack what every employee needs to know and what resources are available.

With over 30 years experience, Norma shares real life, practical tools to help anyone navigate conflict, understand your rights and use workplace resources with confidence.

In this episode, Sarah launches the first of a new series: Walk & Talk, with yoga studio owner Laurie Donelson of Half Moon Yoga. As a busy mom she successfully turned her passion for yoga into a thriving home-based business.

Over the past six years, Laurie has grown the yoga community from scratch, without business ownership experience, overcoming challenges and showing up scared! Through all of this she has created a sustainable model that works for her family and her community.

Laurie reminds us of three main things:

1. Following our passion starts with small, manageable steps.

2. Personal priorities matter.

3. Zero requirement for having things all figured out!

This episode is for anyone wondering 'What it would be like to take the first step'.

In today’s workplace, your personal brand isn’t just a ‘nice to have’, it’s your currency defined by your personal credibility.

To unpack this, Sarah sits down with Tina Fernandez, MBA to explore how personal branding, authentic relationships and intentional mentorships shape the trajectory of our career.

Together, they break down:

·      What personal branding means (and what it doesn’t).

·      How your personal reputation works for you even when you’re not in the room.

·      Why relationships are the true engine of personal growth.

·      Words of wisdom and practical steps to cultivating meaningful mentorships.

No matter what season of your career you are in, from navigating corporate life to redefining your career, this conversation will help you understand why your personal brand is more than your title- it’s your story, and your ticket to success!
