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.

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.

This episode is a bit of a departure from our normal subject matter. But I am getting SO many questions about moving overseas lately! (I think it's the election.)

For those of you who are new to my world, I studied, volunteered, and worked abroad for seven years. (Mostly in Asia.) So I am a good bestie to have if you are considering moving abroad!

And since not all of you have me in your contacts, I decided to do a podcast and share all my hard-won wisdom on ...

• Where should you move? How to decide.
• How should you go? (Work, play, retiree, digital nomad, etc. Let's explore the options.)
• Why should you go? (All the awesome things.)
• Why might you think twice? And what realities should you be prepared for? (All the CONFRONTING stuff, since apparently I love that word. 😂 )
• My best advice on picking a new forever home. How to take the next step.

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

P.S.: Is something rising to be healed for you? Interested in mastering the arts of self-healing and nervous system regulation? I have so many ways you can learn, from my free breathwork Meetup to one-off Healing Sessions to in-depth coaching. Check out all my 2024 offers here.

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!

Hey friends! Enjoy some highlights from my free 5-Day Self-Healing Challenge (aka Soul Surf Camp).

In this lesson, I talk about how to change your memories. Which if you're haunted by a moment in your past is a useful thing to be able to do!

I should clarify: we're not actually changing the memory itself. We're just changing the emotion around it.

So that a moment that made you feel sad can now make you feel grateful.

Or so you can feel compassion for yourself in a moment that used to feel shameful.

It's all about a process called therapeutic memory reconsolidation. And you can learn it and start using it today!

I'll also teach you a self-hypnosis template you can use to resource yourself up when you're doing this important work.

You might be drawn toward "magical" practices like breathwork, plant medicine, hypnosis, and energy healing believing they will get you there faster.

(And to a large degree, you're right!)

But sometimes trying too hard to have a breakthrough ...

Can actually repel the magic and push it away.

And often when you release the need for a breakthrough, that's exactly when big magic comes to you and hits you like a lightning bolt.

In today's episode, I'll share what I've learned about breakthroughs in three years of facilitating them for clients — and having some myself.

We'll dive into:

• Why you will never "earn" a breakthrough
• Beliefs and behaviors that are moving you away from a breakthrough
• The importance of being in right relationship with your practice
• My favorite belief for cultivating magic in your practice
• The importance of faith and surrender in personal growth
• Why embracing cultivation (small, daily change) actually creates the right conditions for a breakthrough to happen
• How you will always 100% eventually have a breakthrough (even if it doesn't arrive as huge, spontaneous healing)

"You've gained a few pounds since last year!"
"You're not married yet?"
"Why can't you be quiet and sweet like your sister?"
"Are you really going to have another drink?"
"Of course we invited your ex. He's still family. We don't have to ask you."
"Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?"

Welcome to the judgy-est time of the year!

If your family is like most families, Thanksgiving get-togethers are kind of a mixed blessing. 😂 

And for some of us, the holidays can be downright painful and poke all sort of old wounds and unresolved traumas.

If you'll be braving the family firing squad this week, this podcast is for you.

Think of it as putting on your tactical armor before you rush into the fray!

We'll discuss:

• Why your family isn't actually the problem (and why this is good news)
• Coping strategies that DON'T usually work.
• How family can be a powerful tool for your healing.
• Ways to think about your family's comments, insults, comparisons, etc. that actually serve you.
• How to become bulletproof in any family situation. 

"The universe hates me."

This was my conclusion when unexpected expenses kept smacking me in the face all through October.

• There was the appliance repair company ripping me off.
• The Assisted Living facility making a billing error — and then correcting it by pulling $13,000 out of my account with no warning. 
• The Home Health company deciding out of nowhere that I owed them $1800, and I'd better pay up or they were sending me to collections.

It felt like fighting a seven-nation army — and left me with no time for actually MAKING money.

I had a niggle that told me to let some of it go.

But because I grew up in a family that was all about hoarding and controlling money, that felt impossible.

And it also felt like I was letting the bad guys win.

Well.

Then I dropped into a very deep money healing study that REALLY helped me rewrite some of those old stories and make new choices.

And today I'm here to share that learning with you!

In today's episode, we'll dig into ...

• How every money "problem" is actually an opportunity to release and rewrite an old story
• Why having a controlling relationship with money doesn't work
• Some of my own family money stories — and how I'm rewriting them
• The spiritual Law of Release — and how it can help you have a healthier attitude toward money
• How unconscious journeying (self-hypnosis) can deepen your money healing and provide insights you never dreamed.
• How healing your own money wounds heals your entire lineage.
