I have a rare treat for you, an interview! I wanted to have Sarah on the show because her story is one of the rare ones where she and her partner have been able to create lasting changes in the relationship, and I wanted her to tell her story of how she was able to step into her power and demand change, while also taking her life back in all areas by focusing on herself.

Every thought you think and every word you speak is creating your future. Choose wisely. In this episode, learn why it is so important to be mindful of the thoughts and words you give energy to, and how to start creating your life from a more intentional place.
