Sarah has rebuilt her life multiple times, moving through burnout and overwhelm into resilience and strength to thrive again.
With warmth, humor, and evidence-informed practices, Sarah shows audiences — drawing on her lived experience — how to turn self-criticism into an ally and step into a life of clarity and freedom.

"Wow Sarah your book is sooooo fricking amazing You really map out how to make changes. I think, especially for women we tend to always put our needs last as if that is selfish. I laughed at the inner voice as I remember in AA someone saying, “ when I wake up in the morning I feel that little guy telling me, well it’s about time you woke up I have a few things to say to you “ Like you said we need to reprogram ourselves, play different tapes. I think you will help many women with your books and coaching. - Nancy
