her Self: IFS & Spiritual Entrepreneurship

What if your next chapter isn’t about pushing harder—but softening into something more true?Today I’m joined by two wise, courageous women inside her Self CEO—Elizabeth and Damiana—for an intimate, behind-the-scenes conversation about what really changes when you stop leading from strategy alone and begin leading from your center.We’re four months into this five-month immersion, and what you’ll hear is a rare, real-time glimpse into the inner and outer shifts unfolding for them as they align their businesses with their vision, values, and deepest callings.If you’re feeling stuck, sensing a pivot, or longing for a business that supports your whole self—not just your goals—this episode offers both inspiration and direction.HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Alignment requires shedding, not just scaling.Elizabeth and Damiana reveal what they had to release to hear what their deeper work was truly asking of them—and why letting go is often the most courageous move.2️⃣ Inner clarity leads to outer confidence.Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), they’ve moved through fear, overgiving, and self-doubt—into clearer offers, stronger boundaries, and more easeful ways of working.3️⃣ Leadership isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming more you.This conversation reminds us that your business can be a vehicle for healing—not a source of burnout.If you’re ready to evolve—personally and professionally—her Self CEO might be your next step. 🌀 Early registration is open for just a few more days: herselfceo.comResources:Early registration open! her Self CEOElizabeth Scott’s websiteDr. Damiana Corca’s website  Subscribe to Sara’s Sunday JournalConnect with Sara on InstagramMentioned in this episode:her Self CEO Early Reg Dynamic Adher Self CEO Early Reg Dynamic Ad

What if the breakdown was really the breakthrough you didn’t see coming?Today, I’m sharing a deeply personal story—one that began with a cease and desist letter landing in my inbox on an ordinary Tuesday morning… and ended up sparking an unexpected evolution of my business.Because sometimes, soul-powered leadership doesn’t look like scaling or launching or growing on schedule. Sometimes, it looks like letting go. Listening deeply. And honoring the quiet knowing that something needs to change.Over the past year, I’ve navigated some major thresholds—internally and externally—and in today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead from the inside out, especially when the outside world feels uncertain.Whether you’re standing at your own business crossroads or sensing that something is quietly asking to evolve within you, this episode will help you reconnect with your truth and remember that you’re not alone.HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Action Creates Clarity.It’s tempting to wait until you have the perfect plan, name, or direction—but this story shows how each step (even the messy ones) reveals the next. The divine meets you in motion.2️⃣ Your Business Is a Living Thing.I share how my signature program is changing, not because of strategy, but because my business was asking to grow with me. When we listen, our work becomes a reflection of our own transformation.3️⃣ Leadership Is Staying in the Room.Soul-powered leadership means doing the deeper, often uncomfortable work of staying present, even when the path isn’t clear. Not quitting. Not bypassing. But listening, refining, and rising—with integrity.If you’re tired of surface strategies...If something in your work feels off, but you can’t yet name it...Or if you’ve been quietly questioning what’s next...This conversation is a mirror, and a map.Resources: It’s coming!

What if your dreams were speaking directly to the future version of you?Today I’m joined by internationally celebrated dreamworker and award-winning author Toko-pa Turner. Together, we explore how dreams are more than subconscious fragments—they’re living, breathing messengers from your deepest Self. And for spiritually-rooted women entrepreneurs, they’re an often-overlooked compass that can guide both your inner healing and outer leadership.Over the past year, dreamwork has become a steady part of my own practice—helping me navigate the thresholds of perimenopause, creative expansion, and the next evolution of my work. And it was Toko-pa’s guidance, that helped me deepen into this sacred relationship with my soul.Whether you’re new to dreamwork or longing to reconnect with your own inner language, this episode will leave you inspired to listen more closely—and lead from that listening.HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Dreams Aren’t Random—They’re Relational. Toko-pa shares how dreams offer ongoing guidance and conversation, especially when we engage them not just as symbols to decode, but as sacred companions to court.2️⃣ Why Soul-Led Women Need Dreamwork. In a culture that overvalues logic and dismisses intuition, Toko-pa explains why dreamwork is especially vital for spiritual entrepreneurs seeking to build from wholeness, not hustle.3️⃣ A Gentle Framework for Working with Your Dreams. Learn the step-by-step process Toko-pa teaches for remembering, journaling, and integrating dreams—no matter how busy your life feels.If you’ve been sensing an inner call to slow down and listen more deeply… If you’re in a time of transition or creative unfolding…Or if you simply want to reconnect with your own wisdom…This conversation is a doorway.Resources:Learn more about Toko-pa TurnerOrder Toko-pa’s new book, The Dreaming Way Listen to Toko-pa’s October 22 interview on “Belonging”It’s coming!

What if hitting your first six-figure year wasn’t about doing more—but about doing what’s most aligned?Today I take you behind the scenes of my own journey to creating consistent $10K+ months—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently if I were starting over today.Back in 2012, I was chasing the six-figure dream with a full plate, a new book, and a lot of internal pressure. I believed that more offerings, more hustle, and more pushing would get me there. And eventually, it did—but not without burnout, doubt, and detours I now know were avoidable.For spiritually-rooted women entrepreneurs, the path to sustainable success isn’t paved with hustle. It’s shaped by inner alignment, soul-led strategy, and sacred structure that actually supports your nervous system.Whether you’re just beginning or recalibrating your next level, this episode is your grounded, grace-filled blueprint to a business that supports you—not the other way around.HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Mindset is the Foundation, Not a Bonus.The first and most overlooked step to $10K months is inner safety. I share how unhealed fears around money, visibility, and success can quietly sabotage growth—and why Internal Family Systems is my go-to for doing the deep inner work that makes sustainable success possible.2️⃣ One Signature Offer Can Change Everything.Trying to sell too many things kept me spinning my wheels for years. I reveal why focusing on just ONE soul-aligned offer is the simplest, most strategic way to reach your first six figures—without overcomplicating your business.3️⃣ You Don’t Need Hundreds of Clients—You Need the Right Structure.I walk you through how to reverse-engineer your revenue goals, price for transformation (not time), and build a business ecosystem that includes weekly content, simple systems, and the support you need to grow with less grind and more grace.If you’re tired of chasing and ready to root…If you crave income that’s steady and soul-aligned…If you want the clarity, structure, and mindset to lead like the Self-CEO you are…This conversation is your roadmap.✨ And if you want to go deeper, join the waitlist for her Self CEO—my signature 5-month conscious business immersion and IFS leadership circle for heart-centered women ready to rise: 👉 saraavantstover.com/ceoResources:It’s coming!
