Must be the money... Well, we always think that it must be the money, but sometimes its the management of the money that is really what we need. What an absolute treat to chat with Amber Proffitt about all things EA.

Amber introduced me to a completely different career choice in the tax space - the role of an Enrolled Agent. Listen, whether you're just starting or giving yourself permission to go even further, this laugh and value filled episode is for you!

Raising capital can feel like an incredibly heavy thing to even think about. Well, it gets a lot easier to digest, understand and take action on when a guest like.

Dr. Marlo Rencher is on the scene. Today, we have a very real-world, relatable and action-filled conversation with the builder, the investor and the corporate innovation executive that is none other than Dr. Rencher!

Ready? Let's get started!

We get it - the topic of money when you're getting started can feel heavy. But, there are some business budgeting basics that you can embrace and utilize to confidently take you to your next steps.

Listen to this business budgeting basics episode and... go get started!

Action and ambition have the power to take you places that you never imagined, if you use it.

What a dynamic opportunity to talk to Jonathan Almanzar and explore his journey of growing Chick'nCone and his podcast, The Idealist.

We had an impactful and action-filled conversation that inspires you, challenges and pushes you to start, with action and ambition in mind. 

Who are you? What makes you tick? What excites you? How do you naturally respond to conflict? Knowing the answers to those things is critical. But, how do you know how you will "typically" respond to things?

That's how understanding your personality and defaults will serve you. What a fantastic conversation that we had with R. Karl Hebenstreit.

Tune in to todays episide as we explore the Power of Leveraging Your Personality To Try New Things! #juststart

When you want to try new things, one of the roadblocks that you may run up against is time. You might be thinking, "when am I going to have the time to start something new"?

Well, this session is designed just for you! Let's explore how to adjust your schedule to support your journey of trying new things!

Although we tend to be tough on ourselves when its time to acknowledge our growth, there is another way.

In today's episode, we welcome on my colleague and Executive Partner, Tyneshia McCray as we dive into how she deals with challenges with using her voice and the acknowledgement of how far she has come!

As simple as the two words, "speak up" are, it gets pretty complicated when you can't quite formulate the words that you want and need to say because of the "jitters".

Let's spend some time exploring how you might manage and escape those pesky feelings. 

It's amazing how many people will claim that they aren't creative or have the potential to come up with new ideas.

But, in this episode, we question all of that. Because once you give yourself permission to start something, it is necessary for you to come up with ideas to support that thing that you started and to keep it going.

So let's dig into that!

You've decided to start and you've come to the realization that sometimes you get stuck. But, how so you mentally and physically keep going? If you're wondering that, this episode is for you.

Now, don't forget to listen to parts 1 and 2. While it's not mandatory, there's a lot of good stuff in there!

Picture this. You finally give yourself permission to get started and the absolute unthinkable happens - YOU GET STUCK!

So, now what? This episode is to help you wipe that fear (or reality) of being stuck from your mind with these actionable tips on how to keep going if you get stuck.

Ready? Let's get started!

It's such a heavy question, isn't it? But, it can feel lighter, attainable and possible to create if you're intentional about it.

On this very last episode of 2022, let's make some magic together by talking about your Leadership Legacy and how you can make it come to life by giving yourself permission to start!

Whew. Have you ever had to have a difficult conversation? Perhaps one that you knew you needed to have, but you just kept avoiding it over and over again?

Well, that one conversation might be holding you back from doing the things that you really want to do!

Let's explore the world of having difficult conversations!

Go Go Go... break!

Do things feel like that for you?

I was really excited to engage in a conversation with Jeff Wilson II about his process of managing chaos, but then unwinding and resetting.

His refreshing approach and commitment to unplugging and embracing a regimen are worth hearing about, adopting and using to help you start and elevate.

Ready?

As much as I'd like to tell you that things will never fall apart and will always work 100% well, that would be untrue. 

Instead, (as always), I'll tell you the truth. Sometimes, things will fall off the rails and be painful and unexpected.

But, it doesn't have to be the end of the world.

Enjoy this quick and impactful episode on what to do when it feels like things are falling apart.

Let's start!

Hi Y’all,

I am so excited for you to hear and fall in love with the wisdom of my dear friend, Jenni Fletcher, during episode 6 of Small Beginnings of Sara.  The truth is this woman is a creative through and through in so many facets. I compare Jenni to a diamond with many talents and creative outlets that shine for Jesus. One of my most memorable experiences with Jenni was when we were ministering as a team on the streets of Austin in February 2020.  I watched her sing a love song from Father God over a homeless man and just wept at the love of Jesus flowing through her voice and her heart to this man. 

Her creative awakening just started occurring with gusto about three years ago. You will hear her describe her creative process with details of how she hears from God. She really believes that creativity is a beautiful process. When she describes her wrecked pottery process, it will help you relate that in each of our lives we have wrecked places in need of God putting us back on the wheel to remake something broken into something beautiful. 

Y'all, Jenni describes her process of writing the song for my podcast, Small Beginnings with Sara. She said, “Yes” before she knew the next steps. She just believed. You will hear more about the amazing and inspirational lyrics of the song and how God helped her in the process.  I love this song so much and can’t wait for you to hear how God led her step by step, within a period of about three weeks. 

I am nearly certain I will have Jenni on as a guest again for future episodes. This girl is so full of knowledge, practical information and inspiration for you on your own creative journey. I think you are going to share Jenni’s story with all your creative friends after you listen and you will likely listen to this episode a second time to get all the treasures she shares. She is full of golden nuggets of advice and even prays a prayer for your own creative journey to grow and expand. And wait until you hear near the end of the episode about the miracle testimony of God providing for her need for a kiln in a supernatural way, just like our God likes to do. 

Let me know what you think of this interview. You are in for treat!

Thanks so much for giving me so many five star reviews. In fact, in just less than three weeks, Small Beginnings with Sara has 32 five star reviews. This is an amazing start and I am so blessed. Please subscribe and listen each week and share with your friends when you know your friends could use some encouragement in their own journey.

Take a step forward. Enjoy the process. Dare to hope for the impossible.  In my podcast, Small Beginnings with Sara, I share with you my own small beginnings of my story in two parts. I share with you my story of becoming an artist, an author and now a podcaster.  All things I never dreamed of in my life, but God did.

After I connected to God's dreams for my life in retirement after being a public school teacher and administrator, God continues showing me new small beginnings in my personal journey as a creative. More small beginnings than I ever imaged or dreamed are happening in my life. I hope my story will speak to the steps inside your own to inspire and encourage you to take your own small beginnings. 

This is part two of my two part series on my own small beginnings. It may not be exactly divided evenly because I talk about the small beginnings in my own life-becoming an artist, author a podcaster and a new widow!

Connect with me in as many places as you want. I want to hear your story, too.
