Ok. Back to you...
Hi! I'm Sara
For decades, I lived my life according to other people's rules. I was an expert at squashing myself into whatever metaphorical box someone needed me to fill. The good girl, the A+ student, the cute soprano ingenue, the organizer, the jill-of-all-trades, the rescuer, etc. etc. etc. Then, I woke up one night at 3am thinking "There's something bigger out there for me." And that was terrifying.
At the time, I had a life many would envy. But when I looked closely, I realized that life was built on what I *thought* success should look like. And when I got really honest with myself, I had to admit that it was making me miserable. I had no connection to my dreams, my self, my true voice, or my creativity.
With the help of coaching, I decided to take a leap of faith. I left my full-time job and decided to create a life big enough for all of my messy, glorious self. And along the way, I discovered that I am a joyful, silly, intuitive, plant-obsessed creative soul, who tends to see the world in technicolor and is obsessed with how the brain works. After years as a classically-trained singer, opera producer, and administrator, it took finding coaching for me to truly find my own voice.
That is why I do this work.
What if I told you that right now, in this moment, you are already enough. That there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. That you are whole and perfect as you are, right now.
Would you believe me? How uncomfortable was it to read those words?
If you're anything like me, your brain might be setting off alarm bells right about now. It might even be trying to provide you with evidence of times you've failed or made mistakes or been disappointed.
Let's let your brain do its thing and have a little chat over here for a minute...
"Until you make
the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate"
-Carl Jung
Why Coaching?
As we grow up, we inherit beliefs from our parents, teachers, peers, and societies. And these beliefs shape how we see the world and how we see ourselves. They tell us how we should act, speak, think, and relate to ourselves and others. They tell us what is taboo and what is not, what is rewarded and what is not. In other words, they tell us the rules of the game.
As we grow, we stop being consciously aware of the rules we've learned. To us, they are just our truth. Just the "way things are," even if they no longer serve us. But you have the power to re-write those rules.
And that is where coaching comes in. As your coach, my job is to help you see the unconscious beliefs and patterns that make up your rulebook, so you can choose whether you want to keep living by them. In particular, it is my job to help you grow an unshakeable belief that you are whole, right now, as you are.
