LOVE LIFE. LIVE BOLDLY.
Hi, I’m Sara,
I’m a proud mom to 3 wonderful young men, a business owner, a mountain and ocean adventurer, an artist, and a former teacher. At my core, I am not much different than any of you. What and who I have become is a resilient woman and person, who survived and thrived from multiple traumas, now finding herself in this space. And this is exactly where I was meant to be.
Ten years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life. Suffering from relational and betrayal trauma and complex-PTSD, I was debilitated by the unknown as my marriage and life collapsed, living as a single mom. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically unraveling, I found myself at a precipice: I could lose my life through all of this, or find a new me. My resilient self chose the latter.
I made a point everyday of getting outside, navigating through anger, pain, and grief while hiking 14,000 ft mountains and paddling 4-miles out to sea with whales and dolphins. I somatically healed my heart, mind, and body through nature while practicing the art of making bold moves in my life. As a result, I began finding that new me. A version of me with a larger smile, a longer laugh, and a love for her present life. The gift of my trauma was finding my most important relationship: the one within myself.
My trauma became my purpose: to help others embrace their bold life. I became a keynote speaker, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and a retreat organizer/facilitator for transformational experiences.
For 32-years, I’ve been diving into personal development, mental and emotional resilience, healing, and research. I have distilled 5-key components to boldly making moves when faced with constant change. We use these key components when guiding clients on life-altering journeys of hiking, kayaking, and coaching through the Grand Canyon, Alaska, and Colorado.
You could say I’m an “artistic visionary who creates through a lens of pushing the needle forward, regardless of naysayers or fear.”
Our world continues to go through crises and change, with no end in sight. I want this practice of overcoming and thriving to be available for everyone. For you. For your family. For your friends. For organizations. Your colleagues. Because, the stronger and more bold the parts, the stronger and more bold we are as a whole.
WHY THE RED HEELS?
“… there are many sides to us; these red heels have been carried 1000-plus miles on backcountry trails with epic pics on the highest peaks to show”.
In 2013, I was questioned how a mom of three sons could reinvent her life at 40 years of age, guiding and coaching others through the Grand Canyon and Alaska.
Though seen as strong, I wasn’t always seen as feminine. Which stung.
I decided that I wanted a symbol to show the world that a woman does not have to be put in a box. We can do our nails and summit a peak on the same day. We can hike trails, climb boulders, and come home to put on a dress and heels. We need to embrace, love, and honor all sides of who we are.
It came to me while running. “I will buy a pair of red heels and wear them on the peak of Mt. Baldy for me.” I posted the picture on social media and the response was surreal. Through that one picture, a message was posted to the universe… Women can be strong and feminine.
My heels have seen peaks throughout Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon, Mt. Wilson, Cucamonga Peak, Mt. Baldy, San Jacinto, San Bernardino Peak, San Gorgonio, the High Sierra Trail, the High Sierra Loop, the John Muir Trail, the Sierra High Route, Mt. Whitney, and many others.
Red represents courage, power, determination, passion, desire, and love. I will never stop embracing myself. Hopefully these red heels give you the courage to stand out and do the same.
The world needs more of Sara. To know Sara is to love Sara. And the more she can give her love to the community, the better the world’s gonna be. She always wears her heart on her sleeve, however, she’ll be the first to tell you like it is. And that’s what’s needed. Because we have to show up and we have to be honest and truthful and stand in our power. And then help others to do the same.

Admittedly, it’s been hard for me to let these go. And, deep in my heart, I know that it is time.
It’s been nearly 8-years of me doing this work with all of you in this space. And, it’s been a gift.
Lives changed and transformed, I will cherish every memory with every client!

• there will be an elevated and shifting focus on “adventure, problem-solving, our-up-leveled-unstoppable-what-am-I-capable-of,” let’s LIVE version of SELF!
• think “less about trauma healing,” and “more about resilience and mindset..”
• 2-calls pre and 2-calls post retreat, a 1:1 call with me, and more “diving in” within the canyon (great metaphor).

HUMANS HAVE, what I call, A SECOND TONGUE. It’s used when speaking about others to another, and it carries less (and many times, zero..) weight.
When you’re in this space, you’ll only get truth, inspiration, and hope. ONE TONGUE, speaking the same three values I’ve walked in my entire life.
So if you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been here for a while, please tag your friends in the comments and let’s share this space.
✅ CARE MORE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY TO YOU, than what they say about you.
🔑 Interested in our Co-Ed Grand Canyon Retreat? Last one of 2024! June 9-13th. 50% off our past retreats, because we are doing it differently this time! So excited.. Message me. Limit 8.
Remember: You will only regret what you’ve always wanted to try in life.

A total eclipse typically happens somewhere on Earth every few years, but what makes it rare is that it only happens about every 300+ years in any given spot.
A solar eclipse is not just a spectacle to witness; it is a profound opportunity for inner growth and transformation.
DON’T OVERCOMPLICATE IT, THOUGH!
• remember to make one small change every day, and you’ll find yourself a changed human over time.
Hope the eclipse was as profound and fun for you as it was for us!
Happy Renewal, Friends!

Repetition and Reflection is what makes goals and intentions stick.
In the midst of our day-to-day lives, it`s easy to lose sight of the goals and moves we had committed to making throughout this year.
Think back to January. Did you set any goals or intentions for this year?
As mentioned many times before, I`ve found immense value in asking myself two powerful questions:
"What do I want?" and "How do I want to feel?"
These questions have guided my decisions throughout the years, and kept me focused on my purpose and goals in life.
As we move into Q2, here are a few steps I`ll be taking, and I encourage you to join me:
+ Self-reflection: Continuing to ask myself, "How do I want to feel?"
+ Revisiting my goals: Are they still aligned with my aspirations? And then I’ll adjust them if needed.
+ Setting intentions: Infusing my goals with purpose and meaning.
+ Keeping up with self-care: Remember, it`s not a luxury but a necessity. Be sure to calendar it in!
If you`re like me (busy with kids and responsibilities as a single-mom), it`s easy to let things slip by. With a little help from our community, we get back on track with support and encouragement.
So drop in the comments what you`re working on, and let`s support one another today!
HERE FOR IT ALL.. WITH ALL OF YOU.
