Nature is where we are meant to be.
It’s where we can go to find our soul and our heart and get back to mental clarity.

Six years ago, I went through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I had been betrayed, I was heartbroken, and in an instant, everything I knew about the life I was living changed.

It was in my search for release from my suffering that I turned to nature for healing. I didn’t know what I would find when I got there, but what I discovered allowed me to heal in a deeper way than I ever thought would be possible. 

I want that for you, too. 

I designed this free guide because I wanted to be able to show as many people as possible that nature is one of the most powerful healing tools out there, and how I have learned to use it to guide others through their own personal healing experiences. 

The best part is that you don’t need to plan a big long trip to the mountains to get started. You can begin right away with a few mini-exercises I’ve created to introduce you to the magic ✨

Hi Friends! 👋 As you know, every year I plan a backpacking trip in the mountains as self care for me. While there, I continue my personal healing journey, find clarity, and connect with my soul. Two years ago, I was on the High Sierra Trail for 8-days with girlfriends. Last year we did the High Sierra Route in Yosemite for 7-days. And this year ... THIS WAS MY BIG ONE ... I hiked the John Muir Trail for 22-days. No doubt, every year I find something new about me that I didn't realize before. There are moments of tears. Moments of laughter. And so many moments of awakening. Mother Nature has been my healing grace for this mama + woman ... and she certainly held space for me to do it again while on the JMT. People have been asking, "So what did you learn? How was it?" Please join me tonight LIVE at 5:00 PST on my Live Boldly Facebook Page. I will share my "Top 5 Things I Learned from the John Muir Trail ... + How to Implement Them in Daily Life." No need to sign up! Just show up + join in on the conversation. Bring your journal + favorite cup of-whatever-you-like-to-drink. You will be able to ask questions while I share what I have learned ... some things may surprise you! Always truthful. Always honest. Always raw + vulnerable. (Yes, I will have pics to share, too!) Hope to see you there! (And if you can't make it, there will be a recording forever saved on my Live Boldly Page.) All my love, xo Sara (aka: Layers, my new given + accepted trail name) . . . . . . #learn #grow #awakening #heal #forgiveness #coach #author #walkthroughthis #johnmuirtrail #jmt #mountains #natureheals #naturehealing #wanderlust #explore #beyourself #trauma #mtwhitney #trailmagic #trail #hiking #retreat #women #men

Single friends: can we talk about DATING + LOVE for a moment, please 😁? #shedtheshame + let’s get real. . I had a lot of time to reflect while hiking the John Muir Trail. One thing stood out in my mind: how much I believe in love, connection, and partnership. >> I witnessed two couples get engaged on day one: at Nevada Falls + on the summit of Clouds Rest. >> I met an amazing man hiking the trail in his late wife’s honor. Seeing the deep passion in his eyes as he spoke so lovingly about his wife made my heart yearn for someone to do the same for me. As someone who’s been betrayed so deeply, being in his presence gave me HOPE. (God, the universe, and the trail speaks 🙏 ... I listen.) . Admittedly, as a single mom who has thrown herself into healing, book writing, business + motherhood the last 7 years, I haven’t put a lot of time or effort into “finding my life partner.” But now at 47 + in a far different chapter of my life, it was a pre-trip conversation I had with my oldest son that had me REALLY thinking while on the trail. He said (I paraphrase), “Look at dating the same you have with the passion around this book. You not only wanted an agent + publisher, you NEEDED one. And now look? There’s nothing wrong with saying you need a partner. By doing that, you’re going into finding that person with intention, while being deliberate and on purpose, ultimately filtering out what would otherwise hold you back from who you want to live out your life beside.” . BAM! 💥 My son is f’ing brilliant. So, to anyone who is in the world of DATING + LOVE: be committed to the process of receiving what you are looking for. Journal what it is your heart + soul are seeking in a partner. And remember, by saying “no” to what you don’t want in your life, you’re saying “yes” to what you do. Share your dating thoughts in the comments below ... + drop a 🔥 if you agree with my kiddos words! Here’s to love, connection, and partnership for each + every one of us! xo Sara . . . . . . . . #loveyourself #partnership #dating #singlemom #life #love #truth #inspiration #hope #redshoes #redheels #walkthroughthis #author #documentary #datinglife #mountains #intentionsetting #intention

There is no one way to do anything in life. <<Remember that.>> . My neighbor + I were walking and talking this morning. He was walking his toddler. I was walking my tripod rescue dog. We were talking parenting + life. He said, “You’ve certainly never been one to copy + paste societies ways of doing things into your own life.” I laughed, because it’s true. But the question is, why would anyone wanna copy + paste, anyhow? In my eyes, that’s just not a very creative way to live. And aren’t we supposed to be creating a life we love based on our values + not societies norms? . If anyone needs to hear this, please, give yourself permission to live life on your terms. Divorcing? Do it your way. Getting a job? Find one YOU love. Moving? Pick a place that warms your heart. Parenting? You know your child best. Healing? Listen to your own mind, heart, body + soul. There’s absolutely EVERYTHING RIGHT in being your own leader. Please drop a ❤️ below + share your own thoughts. xo Sara . —> drop into my Live Boldly Facebook page next Wednesday, September 23rd at 5:00 PST where I’ll share the “Five things I learned from the John Muir Trail + how to implement them in daily life.” No need to sign up!
