“A lot of us will look at other people [parents] and see there are so many ways to do it [parenting]. It's easy to compare yourself to them. It's important to ask, 'What am I good at?'.”

ABOUT SARAH:

"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.

My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!

Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

215: Not What You Expected

215: Not What You Expected

Now you're on the plane, and you can hardly sit still with the excitement and anticipation. Eventually you fall asleep, dreaming of the Eiffel Tower. You feel the plane jolt as it lands, and in a strange accent you hear from the cockpit:

Welcome to Hong Kong!

214: Slowing Down Time - the In-Between

It was in a recent conversation that I realized this about myself, that I am in a constant state of change and churn, and that I sometimes let that get me anxious and stressed. It's silly, since I know I bring this on myself. I could say no. I could turn down opportunities to sing, to speak, to mentor someone. But I love it. I love this feeling of change and growth, and none of the decisions I make are things I don't want to do.

213: What Are Your Best Mentor Stories?

What can we learn from our bosses? What does leadership amongst women look like?

212: Micro Adjustments For The Win

Most of us would like to improve ourselves- the way we are viewed by others and the inner voice in our head that guides us to decisions.

During this episode, you will learn more about how small things can make a huge difference. Listen in as Sarah shares her stories, the small adjustments that lead to bigger changes in her relationships with family and friends.

211: Authenticity is Overrated

"Authenticity isn’t a static fixed thing. We grow, we transform, we collect people and information throughout our lives that influence our identity. Sometimes dramatically, sometimes in more subtle ways."

210: Your Strengths Are Your Stories, Tell Them With Confidence and Intention
