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.

In the heart of life’s storm, there’s a beacon of strength, inspiration, and peace named Betsy Aaron. I am honored to have Betsy on the Live Boldly with Sara Podcast this week.

Despite facing the daunting challenge of stage 4 stomach cancer, she refuses to let it define her. Instead, she’s rewriting the narrative, embracing each day with a spirit of resilience and grace.

As a writer, Betsy’s words are not just a means of expression, but a powerful tool for transformation. Rather than waging war against her illness, she’s chosen a different path – one of acceptance and inner peace.

In this episode, Betsy sheds light on the language of struggle surrounding the medical world and those with chronic illnesses. She’s discovered firsthand that true healing doesn’t come from fighting, but from finding peace within oneself.

Through her video series, “A Pacifist’s Guide to Living with Cancer,” Betsy extends a hand to those experiencing life with cancer. Her message is clear: in the midst of adversity, there’s still room for hope and healing.

With her background in Creative Writing and a knack for storytelling, Betsy is more than just a survivor – she’s a voice of inspiration, reminding us all to find peace amidst life’s storms.

In Betsy’s journey, we find not just strength, but a powerful reminder that even in the face of chronic illness, there’s still beauty to be found. Grab your journals and let’s dive into this inspiring conversation.

LAUGHTER WILL SHIFT YOUR MOOD, and the energy in the room. A Secret..👇((Scroll down for 50% OFF!))

This is why I bring humor into my retreats, keynotes, and with client’s. Because..

• People are more likely to remember information that is presented with humor compared to information presented without humor. When something is funny, it triggers an emotional response, which can enhance memory encoding and retrieval processes.

• Laughter can impact our mood by releasing endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, which are neurotransmitters associated with happiness and relaxation. 

• Laughter can also release anxiety and tension with those around us. 

In the case of this picture, after climbing out of the Grand Canyon in the dark sky with light snow falling, cold air, yet beautiful elements of nature, I accidentally took my group on the wrong bus.

OOPS!

Getting upset would have changed nothing! So, I laughed, and my group laughed, and we figured out the solution. 

I also reminded my group that I’m NOT directionally challenged in the wild like I am around concrete. 😂

Stop 🛑 and think about it.. DO YOU NEED TO LAUGH MORE?

PART III: We supported blind para athlete, Shawn Cheshire, to SET AND BREAK A WORLD RECORD. 42-miles in 24 hrs, 15 mins straight. Your mindset matters.

Part I and II of this inspiring story are in my feed. 

🎤 I use this experience as a lesson in problem solving in my new keynote. Here’s a snippet.

Shawn came to me in 2018 to go on my Grand Canyon retreat. I had never been a guide for a blind person before. But that didn’t matter.

Shawn wanted to go, so I agreed, and asked that she teach me her needs. 

The retreat was outstanding and life-changing for all. And she wanted more.

>> In 2019, Shawn wanted to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim to rim straight through as the FIRST BLIND WOMAN to ever attempt and complete the mission. 

>> She also wanted to break the men’s record.

WELL.. 

SHE DID BOTH. And it was an honor for the two men and myself to support Shawn during this quest.

Problems came up, but what got us through? 

A few importants:

• We fiercely stated our goal, and
• created an action plan, while👇
• anticipating what lie ahead
• being as prepared as possible for pivots
• open communication with team members
• constant evaluation of our environment and one another
• CONTINUOUS STRONG MINDSET AND WILLPOWER
• LAUGHTER. A lot of laughter.

THESE EXPERIENCES SHAPE WHO WE ARE.

📺 Watch this news clip! I hope it helps you to determine, “What’s my canyon to conquer?”
