Do you feel stuck, like nothing ever changes in your life? Then ask yourself this question: Where am I NOT taking responsibility for my results? The answer might not be obvious. Your brain loves to protect you from failure, judgment, and negative emotion by giving away your power in sneaky ways. 🧠 Making your kids the reason you don't leave that relationship. 🧠 Making your partner the reason you don't spend money 🧠 Making your busy work schedule the reason you don't travel. Giving away responsibility might earn you approval points in the short-term. But the long-term result is a "default" life. One that feels like it's been chosen for you against your will. Friend, that is not the existance you deserve. And that's why on today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm going to show you how to recognize where you're delegating important decisions ... 💪 and how to take back your power, even when it feels wicked uncomfortable. When you start showing up as the leader of your own life, you might disappoint others. But you will never disappoint YOU. Let's do this! WORK WITH SARAH Curious about how life coaching can help you?

Have you noticed that when you're hard on yourself ... You always create exactly what you DON'T want? If you try to shame and berate yourself into losing ten pounds, you lose two. And then suddenly something snaps inside you. Now you're eating out of control. And you gain those two pounds back ... and then gain two more! You might repeat this cycle over and over. Each time, you feel more despair and hopelessness. Eventually, you decide that you're just doomed to failure, that you lost the genetic lottery, that something is broken in your willpower, and that weight loss is impossible for you. Bestie, no! I don't want you to fall into this trap. So on today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm gonna show you how shaming and scaring yourself into losing weight (or saving money or finding love or ANYTHING you wanna do) is the surest form of self-sabotage. And how you can end this cycle of failure once and for all ... by simply changing your emotions. When you feel good, you do good. And most of the time, you actually get there faster! Tune in and let me show you how. WORK WITH SARAH Curious about how life coaching can help you? You can schedule a free discovery call by: Clicking here

You've probably heard that the secret to feeling calmer, getting more done, and living a life you love summed up in two words: TRUST YOURSELF. But you don't trust your own brain one bit! Cause your brain is a spaz. 🤪 Anytime you get a grumpy email from your boss, it tells you you're getting fired. Anytime your partner seems distant, it tells you they don't love you anymore. Anytime you get an unexpected bill, it tells you that you can't afford it ... and now you're going to end up homeless and living in a box. So how the hell can you trust that deep pull you feel to start a business, go back to school, or take your relationship to the next step? Here's good news. Intuition is real. It's powerful. It's TOTALLY different from your thoughts (which tend to be loud and anxious). And you can learn to tap into it to get guidance from the best source on earth: yourself. In today's episode of Climb Your Mountain, I'm going to show you exactly how to do that. So you can stop being kicked around by your anxiety and social programming — and get busy doing your epic shit in this lifetime! Enjoy ❤️ WORK WITH SARAH Curious about how life coaching can help you?

"I'll start that business ... just as soon as things calm down." "It'll be easier to get my masters ... once my littles are in school." "I'm going to bike across the wine region of Italy ... just as soon as I retire!" Have you ever put off a dream because you're waiting for a better time? You're not alone. So many of my clients are waiting for "the right time" to start creating their FY life. But what if "the right time" never comes? What if "normal life" isn't some magic calm period that always comes back around if we hang on long enough? What if "normal life" is actually your car breaking down, a surprise work trip, your dog needing surgery, your small volunteer commitment morphing into a full-time job, and your landlord doubling the rent ... possibly all at once? When we let go of the fantasy that life will calm down, it's easier to jump NOW. (Which let's be honest, is almost always the best time.) And in this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I show you exactly why moving faster is usually better — and what you can do to take that scary first step. Enjoy!

Time-starved. That was me. Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter. All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour. If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.) I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks per week, business earnings, etc. And honestly, starting to look like a shipwrecked castaway because I couldn't even find the time to get a haircut 🏴‍☠️ 😂 Then one principle turned it all around: Essentialism. It's the concept of doing less better. You see, I'd bought into the dangerous myth that I could have it all. No one can. When you make the hard but clear-eyed decision to focus on what's most important RIGHT NOW, your life will change. So much space will open up in your life. And you won't be afraid of it, because you'll also realize that doing big things requires time and space to think. Yes, it turns out being a little bored is actually good for you! Ready to embrace essentialism? You're in luck! In this podcast, I'll share the top mindsets that helped me Enjoy!

Inside you lives a Deepest Inner Critic (DIC). We call it the DIC, because it really is kind of a D! It loves to tell you that you’re: You dream of having some kind of magic wand you can wave to shut that DIC up. You wonder if cult-style brainwashing might actually be the answer. You’ve also realized that the personal development industry doesn’t have a good cure for the DIC. Mantras fall flat. Positive thinking just leaves you MORE frustrated. (It’s like you can’t even think right!) Intuition? Forget it! The DIC is 900x louder than the gut. Friend, if this is you, I feel your frustration. And I’m here to offer you a better way to silence your inner critic. One that’s so simple and reliable, you can teach it to a first-grader (and I have). And in this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I break it down for you! You’ll learn: 😃 Why trying to think new thoughts is so maddening and frustrating (and what to do instead) 😃 Where negative self-talk actually comes from (SPOILER ALERT: it’s NOT deep seated trauma or terminal insecurity) 😃 Techniques to stop negative thoughts quickly and easily—and keep them from coming back.

Sometimes, life comes at you fast. Trying to process too much too fast can leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and paralyzed. You tell yourself that things have to slow down at some point. But what if they don't? You here a lot on social media about "nervous system regulation" and "gut-brain connection" and "soul-centered living." But you don't have time or energy to dabble in all the latest fads. You need one thing that's simple, easy to learn, and ACTUALLY WORKS. And if you were to ask me what that one thing is, I would answer ... BREATHWORK! If you only do one thing to feel more calm, confident, and in control, I recommend starting a regular breathwork practice.

In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of perfectionism, exploring its impact on mental health, stress levels, and self-worth. Key Quotes: “Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame."The Gifts of Imperfection"Perfectionists feel every bump in the road. They’re quite stress-sensitive.”“Perfectionists are pretty much awash with stress. Even when it’s not stressful, they’ll typically find a way to make it stressful.”“Socially prescribed perfectionism, characterized by the feeling that others have high demands, is the most strongly correlated with serious mental illness.”We'll cover: Remember, it’s okay to be imperfect—and more importantly, it’s human. Take small steps toward self-compassion and give yourself the grace to make mistakes along the way.

Today, instead of an episode, I'd really like to send a quick message of love and support to everyone who has been traumatized, outraged, and otherwise touched by the deaths of George Floyd, Armaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and all people of color who have died in police custody. This has been such a traumatic week for our nation that it seems right to suspend our regular programming for this week. However, I do have one request. I would love to use both the blog and the podcast to share the...
