"My story is forever divided into two parts: before the fire, and after the fire. In 2011, at the age of 24, my life was turned upside down. While competing in a 100km ultra-marathon in the Australian outback, I encountered an out of control grass fire. Trapped by the blaze, I suffered full-thickness burns to 65% of my body. I was choppered out of the remote desert barely alive and wasn’t expected to survive. I lost seven of my fingers, spent over six months in hospital, underwent over 200 operations and spent two years in recovery.  Against overwhelming odds, I defied every expectation placed on me and rebuilt my life. In 2016, I achieved a goal I’d been working towards since the early days of my recovering; competing in my first Ironman competition in May, followed by the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Kona was a gruelling experience that taught me over and over again that when we get our mindset right, we truly can achieve anything. Over the years, I’ve written multiple books, been honoured with multiple awards, mentored thousands of people to achieve their greatest goals through my online programs and joined one of my personal heroes, Tony Robbins, as a headline speaker at the 2018 National Achievers Congress.

Sarah Davidson, Is best summed up by her overarching life philosophy – “seize the yay”. "As for my journey, I started my professional life as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a leading international law firm. I enjoyed several years of invaluable learning, development and even exciting travel opportunities and quite enjoyed pretending my life was as glamorous and high-flying as lawyer life appears in Suits. However, I knew early on that the corporate life didn’t light my fire and wouldn’t be a long-lasting career for me. While my inner geek adored the intellectual gymnastics, the profession and its lifestyle weren’t easily reconciled with my personal passions for health, wellbeing, nutrition (I’m a fanatical foodie) and creativity. My chance to “make the jump” popped up sooner than I had imagined, when the “side project” that my partner Nic and I had started as a creative outlet grew itself into a booming business. Out of our own personal frustrations at a gap in the market, we founded an organic matcha green tea company, Matcha Maiden, in late 2014. Within six months, we had grown big enough to draw attention from giant US retailer, Urban Outfitters, who placed a recurring order that could only be fulfilled if one of us went full time. I’m a big fan of trusting the universe and, terrifying as it was, I made the jump into the business that day and we’ve never looked back. Two years later, our beautiful matcha family is still going strong and has taken on a physical embodiment in our trailblazing café, Matcha Mylkbar, co-founded with dear friends, Mark and Attil Filippelli. If you’ve seen any crazy green burgers and blue lattes flooding your social media feeds, that was us! While Spoonful of Sarah initially started out as a personal page (mostly dedicated to my all-too-regular foodie adventures), my shift into the entrepreneurial world was accompanied by some happily accidental profile building, so Spoonful is also now “a thing”. This has added speaking gigs, guest articles, content creation, consulting, and more food frolicking to my repertoire and I wake up every single day pinching myself that this is all real life."Follow on Sarah Davidson on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/spoonful_of_sarah/Website - https://www.spoonfulofsarah.com/about-me/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwIf you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.
