Get ready to be swept away by a conversation that's as inspiring as it is real. I've known the incredible Sandra Burch for over 20 years, and let me tell you, she's a force of nature disguised as a gentle soul. Sandra is a renowned graphic designer, a creative visionary, and a master of navigating life's unpredictable currents with grace, resilience, and a healthy dose of laughter.

In this episode, we're diving deep into Sandra's world, exploring everything from her childhood adventures in Belgium (yes, there's a bicycle involved!) to the challenges of building a thriving business while juggling motherhood and those "oh-so-joyful" client requests (like designing a 200-page book in under a month!).

But this isn't just a casual chat. Sandra shares invaluable wisdom about:

  • The power of "going with the flow": Adapting to life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.
  • Finding your "word": Uncovering your North Star and aligning your actions with your core values.
  • The art of balancing priorities: Juggling work, family, and personal well-being without losing your mind.
  • Embracing change like a pro: Navigating life's transitions with courage and optimism.
  • And most importantly, finding joy in the everyday: Because life's too short to wait for "someday."

Sandra's words to live by:

  • "The universe takes care of me." (A mantra for the ages!)
  • "I kind of just equate it to being like water..." (Flowing around obstacles with strength and grace.)
  • "I just keep trying... I just do what I can do." (Sometimes, that's all it takes.)
  • "I better enjoy today because tomorrow I'm going to be another day older." (Carpe diem!)
  • "You don't get upset when it doesn't happen." (Flexibility is key, my friends.)
