    About this Episode

    "Sara, would you be interested in playing NCAA D-1 basketball for us in NYC?" read an email I received one.

    My home was in a medieval town of 20,000 in Slovenia, I had just retired from playing basketball at the highest levels, and had no asporatins to ever live in the USA. I also could barely speak English at the time.

    17 years later, I still live in New York where I now have my own family and my own business.

    So let's talk about how this almost did not happen! And, about leaps of faith, resistance, self-sabotage, struggle, and deep surrender.

    If you're yearning more spaciousness and time, this one is for you

    Are you feeling fragmented, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, stuck in busyness?
    Sensing a change coming? Navigating life-altering decisions, but feeling emotionally split about what you want?
    Breaking generational patterns to build out something in a new & meaningful way, in your own rhythm, on your own terms?

    If you answered YES to the above questions, then you have come to the right place.

    Truth is, there are no roadmaps to who you are becoming. Experiencing the simplified and harmonized life you only dream about, the one where you wake up energized and raring to go, has little to do with color-coded schedule and self-sacrifice. Rearranging all the pieces and making choices that don't disappoint transcends chronological time, hustle, grind. What you're here to create cannot be done in a linear fashion and conventional wisdom.

    IMAGINE what's possible and available for you... Let’s dive right in!

    How women will take the lead for everyone's good (Interview with Gloria Feldt)

    How women will take the lead for everyone's good (Interview with Gloria Feldt)

    The final episode of season 3 is different by how it's edited as well as the level of emotions. So if conversations on abortion, violence against women trigger you, please take care of yourself.

    My guest today is Gloria Feldt, a speaker, author, and teen mom who became president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She stopped by our podcast not only once, but twice.

    First we talked about power, sex, and how women will take the lead for everyone's good. And then, the SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. So Gloria graciously returned to dive deeper into this topic. Not only did she offer valuable insights into "now what" but left us with very tangible, actionable steps. That is the part you will hear first, and then we'll dive into our original conversation.
