I get this question a lot, especially from Dutch people. 
People even ask me if I am from the US or UK or raised bilingual? 
Thank you, but no.

The reason why I’m speaking in English is super personal, so I’m taking you on a journey on how this started.

So when you're not sure if you should communicate in English or in Dutch (or your other mother tongue), listen to this episode.

Have fun!

When I was young, I was binge-watching death becomes her. I was a huge Goldie Hawn fan and every time when there would be a film starring her, I would record it on my VCR, I would only have a few recordable videotapes, which meant I watched just a few movies many times; house sitter, private benjamin, pretty woman, clueless and home alone where the films I watched over and over again. 

But let’s focus on Death Becomes Her, last Tuesday on Halloween I re-watched Death Becomes Her. 

And once again I was reminded that I wanted to record an episode about this, so here we are. 

If you’ve never seen the movie, I think it’s safe to listen to this episode, because there’s still so much left to see, it’s a beautifully made movie with incredible budget 55 million and by the way, they a profit of 150 million.

The reason why I’ve wanted to record this episode for a long time, is because Isabella Rossellini is a top sales woman in this film and I wanted to peel-off her sales process with you and show why it’s so great and why it’s a great sales script for anyone who has to sell anything.

In this week's podcast we're talking about a technique I was ashamed of which I've done since my teenage years, without knowing it was a self development technique: 

Acting like I am on the bench on one of Oprah's Super Soul Conversations. I've done this with my Club clients this week and we had so much fun! 

Here's how we've done this and how you can do this too.

In this week's podcast I'm sharing with you why I stopped dm-ing people to step into my program and what I'm doing instead. 

My biggest pet peeve is someone sending me a message: "hey Sarah, you're doing this and this wrong, let me fix you."

This to me is a great reason not to answer somebody. 

But what should you do instead if you need new clients? 

I'm discussing it in this week's episode.

I received so many nice responses on an instagram post I placed recently, so I immediately decided to create a podcast about it for more context.
​
The post talks about my diagnoses of CPTSD and how it actually helped me navigate the business that works for me.
​
​It's personal, it's nuanced, it's there.

Let me know what you think <3.
