    #67 – 6 Wild Life Lessons from my First Month of Online Dating

    #67 – 6 Wild Life Lessons from my First Month of Online Dating

    Any time you declare a big goal — dating, climbing a mountain, having a baby, starting a business, finding a job — here's my advice for you:

    Prepare to be expanded!

    As in: stretched, squashed, kneaded, rising, falling, and every other uncomfortable transformation you can imagine.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the universe made it easy by rolling out a red carpet for your dreams?

    Instead, it often says ... let's make sure you're super serious about that. 😂 

    That's been the case in my one month of dating.

    In a way, not much has happened.

    And yet, I've also been challenged, confronted, and expanded in the wildest ways.

    I know it's all happening for me. Just like your messy expansion is happening for you in perfect timing.

    So in this podcast, I'll share my top six lessons from my first month of online dating!

    No matter what mountain you're climbing, I know you'll find some brain fuel here.

    How to Manifest Without Toxic Positivity or Gaslighting Yourself

    How to Manifest Without Toxic Positivity or Gaslighting Yourself

    "The cosmos isn't going to deliver a new car; it's busy." — Valerie Frankel

    Is there a way to attract what you want ... without devolving into a toxic positivity monster who pretends to be "high vibes only" every damn second?

    Can you manifest your your desires while still being a human with human feelings and experiences?

    Can you embody that positive emotion that matches your goal state — while still affirming the emotions and humanity of everyone around you?

    Yes, yes, yes!

    In this week's podcast episode, we talk about common manifestation mistakes (it's so often taught wrong!) and how to approach your manifestation practice from a place of power, humanity, and aliveness.

    #64 – Questions to Ask When Someone Triggers You

    #64 – Questions to Ask When Someone Triggers You

    Do you ever get triggered by other people? 

    Duh, it's like asking, do you breathe air?  😂 

    Often we want to push away or put down people who trigger us.

    When actually they can be our greatest teachers.

    They are mirrors who can show us what we're not fully loving and integrating about ourselves.

    They can shine light on the parts of us that still need healing.

    In today's episode, I walk you through some quick questions to ask any time someone triggers you.

    So what started out as an annoyance ...

    Might end up life changing.
    Enjoy!

    Cheers,

    Sarah xx

    #63 – I'm So Burned Out. Here's How I'm Moving Through It.

    #63 – I'm So Burned Out. Here's How I'm Moving Through It.

    This feels wicked vulnerable to share, but here it is ...

    I've been going through a pretty dark burnout in December.

    One that had me close to quitting my business altogether.

    One where it is really hard to create, express, or connect to my natural joy.

    I hesitated to share this, because it seems like as a coach who specializes in nervous system healing, I should have it more together.

    But the truth is, this burnout is teaching me so much.

    ​​About myself.

    ​​About my beliefs around achievement and rest.

    ​​About what it is to be human.

    And I don't want to wait until I have it all perfectly figured out to share it with you!

    So here you go. My burnout story and what I'm doing (so far) to help myself out. In all its messy glory.

    Enjoy!

Solid and realistic advice + hilarious

As a fellow personal trainer and coach, I appreciate Sarah’s podcast for many reasons. #1 - solid advice from a certified professional who has actually done what she’s talking about! I have sent several episodes to my own clients to reinforce stuff we’ve discussed. #2 - she shares real stories of how training for a hike/run/climb plays out in real life. Which can be messy, discouraging, amazing and everything in between! #3 - she is hilarious! So what if people look at me funny on the trail when I burst out laughing while I’m listening 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the awesomeness Sarah!

Inspired and informed

I found Sarah through her training program which is great. Easy to digest way of setting up your own training plan and well as a few to get you started. Loving the podcast! Along with her emails I get it’s been helpful to keep me in a good mindset to train.

Exactly what I needed

I am IN LOVE with this podcast. Sarah’s approach to talking and educating about mountaineering has been nothing but inspiring. After a really rough trek to Camp Muir (base camp of Mt. Rainier), I was left wondering if I was really cut out for mountaineering and reaching my goal of climbing Mt Rainier next year. After listening to a few episodes, my doubts were gone. I feel so empowered to reach my goals and I’m slowly developing a new and more positive perspective around my love for mountaineering in general. She offers all the tools needed for safely reaching the summit. Thank you so much Sarah!!!
