Are you a change-maker?
CHANGEMAKERS ARE THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO GO AGAINST THE NORM.
—> Change-makers are those who boldly walk where no one has been.
—> Change-makers don’t allow outside influences to determine their future, but rather create their future based on their own desires.
—> Change-makers may have fear, but shift their fear into excitement for the unknown.
—> Change-makers are LEADERS.
They are ready for others to doubt them, because they probably will.
Yet they don’t care.
Because others’ doubts become fuel for their own internal flame.
They know and believe that they have something amazing to offer this world.
And when they do boldly walk where no one has been.. When they do prove others wrong.. They don’t say a word to those who doubted them.
Because their actions speak for themselves.

I’ve become more protective of my personal space through the last few years. But then.. I do want you to have your best life, too.
Joe and I were having one of our deep conversations while on a walk. And I thought, “Oh, Jeez. My listeners could use this!” So I asked Joe if he’d come on. And he said, “Of course.”
Side-note: Find a partner who supports your work. It makes all of the difference.
So, here we are:
Happiness is something we all seek, but the journey to find it can be deeply personal and often challenging.
For Joe and me, that journey wasn’t linear, and it took a lot of inner work before we found each other again after 32 years.
In this week’s episode of the Live Boldly with Sara Podcast, we reflect on our separate paths, the work we did to heal and grow, and how we’ve created lives filled with clarity.
Joe and I both took time to dig deep into what wasn’t working in our lives before we reconnected. We had to confront our issues head-on and figure out what we truly wanted—and didn’t want—for our futures. We spent time exploring writings and teachings that helped us name the problems, make changes, and ultimately manifest the lives we desired. The hard work has paid off.
Now, after decades apart, we communicate on a much deeper level than we did with previous partners and are clear on our priorities. We’ve approached this chapter of our lives with more emotional maturity, wisdom, and love than ever before.
Enjoy.. And drop in the comments and let me know what helped you!

We received an inbound lead for speaking this Monday. No budget. An hour in LA traffic. 😭 HERE’S WHY I’M DOING IT..
It’s for an organization that brings moms and sons together.
I’m a mom of three sons. I know how hard THEIR job is!
• 60-women, with at least one son per woman.
• 20-minutes to share and inspire.
• 10-minutes post to answer questions (added by me.)
• If I do this right (which I will), 120 lives will be impacted.
• Believe it or not, my schedule was open.
• This aligns with my “Why” and I couldn’t sleep if I said “No, thanks!”
Every problem holds an opportunity.
We negotiated. I feel good with this.
121 PEOPLE WIN.
>> Hire people who give back. Your dollar supports them to do so!
>> All good things come full-circle.
LET’S BE IN THIS TOGETHER.
What is your “Why?” Share below..👇

You’d have thought that I had it all together. But on the inside, I was dying a slow death. That’s the thing about our mental health: It’s not something that others see.
These pics from last month show me happier than I’ve ever been!
But Thanksgiving Eve, 2013, C-PTSD struck me hard.
In a second, I lost my marriage, my family as it was, and the life that I had known.
I will never be the same woman who I was before the moment that trauma hit.
I will never be the same mom, daughter, friend, sister..
I was suffering. But no one knew.
Had I have been shot and my physical health compromised, you’d have seen my suffering. But because this was mental health that no one saw, well, no one knew.
Suffering is suffering. And that’s the thing to remember most:
>> Those who suffer from mental health often look like those who don’t.
What mental health looked like for me:
• My mind raced.
• I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat.
• I had little focus, and a lot of memory loss.
• Anxiety issues, depression, constant replaying of what was true and what wasn’t.
• I had issues with safety. Who could I lean into? Who could I trust? Could I even trust myself?
• Many times, my body felt completely disconnected from my mind, heart and soul.
• I was in constant fight, flight, or freeze.
And yet, through all of this, I parented my sons, volunteered, put on birthday parties, kept the household going, and managed everything that I’d done before trauma struck.
It was so, so hard!!!!
And to be perfectly frank, I am lucky as h@ll to be alive. I know that to my core.
For me, I thank my support group, my therapist, my three sons, family, friends, community, and my time in the mountains, in the Grand Canyon, and on the ocean for guiding me through the darkness.
TO THOSE SUFFERING: I see you. I hear you. And remember that even when you feel alone, you are not. Please, reach out for help.
AND TO ALL OF US: Be kind. Be gentle. We don’t know what other humans are going through. Treat others as you wish to be treated, because someday, you may wish for that same understanding and grace.
You will get through this.
I promise.
THE WAY OUT IS FORWARD.

I couldn’t let my guard down. I hit my own ceiling as a result. It HURT.
Sure, I’ve had it together for years. Made it through CPTSD. Divorce. Raised three incredible young men / athletes through tough times. Climbed mountains. Started a business that’s been great! Book launch, TEDx talk, Live Boldly with Sara podcast on @iheartpodcast , leadership retreats consistently filling. Led a blind par-athlete through the Grand Canyon to set and break the world record. Took the USC mens waterpolo team on a team building retreat in the Grand Canyon, was on The Drs, in print overseas.. All of “the things.”
I love my work. In fact, I really, really love my work!
But in 2022, I realized that I HAD HIT MY OWN CEILING. Why? How?
I thought about folding it all. My mom had passed away. I wanted to expand into speaking, but couldn’t “get it right.” I was tired. Not “burned out,” but just …TIRED.
And then it hit me like a ton of bricks..
MY LIFE WAS STALLED AT MY OWN CEILING BECAUSE I ONLY LET CERTAIN PEOPLE IN.
My sons. My mom, dad, and brothers. My best friends. Some business mentors. My clients.
I REALIZED THAT I WAS GIVING WAY MORE THAN I WAS RECEIVING.
For years, my clients had been telling me this exact same thing over and over again. “You give so much to everyone.” Little did I know, until I hit my own ceiling.
AND SO OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I LET MY OWN GUARD DOWN, AND I RECEIVED.
Receiving *helpful* advice from those who see me.
Receiving *meaningful* accolades.
Receiving *authentic* guidance from others.
Receiving *incredible* new friendships.
Receiving *amazingly powerful* love.
And what’s happened?
I’M SMASHING THROUGH MY OWN D*MN CEILING.
AND IT FEELS GOOD.
• After 10-months of hard work, we are on the home stretch of a rebrand ((@candidgoat you nailed this!))
• 2-INSANELY TALENTED WOMEN were my guides and mentors on this messaging @levine_alison and @tasha.wahls_insta .. I LOVE YOU BOTH.
• Networking to bring this 🔥 message into the world
• Met incredible people through @impact_eleven
• And, I reconnected with my high school classmate after 32-years.. My love @joe.skidmore
My message, friends:
Do not give up!
>> THE WAY OUT IS FORWARD.
