148 | The Huge “Ah-Hah” I Had After Finishing My Third Book

I was planning on talking about something else today, but I had such a powerful experience earlier this week that I felt inspired to veer from my original plan so I could share more about it with you. Living in such a transactional and mechanistic culture, it’s easy to forget how magical it is to be a human being who gets to engage in the creative process. Moreover, it’s easy to forget that our businesses, and all that we share within the world of our businesses (such as books, websites, programs, and even a podcast like this), are sacred, divine beings. They’re here to partner with us, and to evolve us, in profound and mysterious ways. If we’re willing. Today I’m sharing a recent story of how I experienced this in a big way. May this inspire you to bring this perspective more fully into your own life and work in the year ahead.Resources:New Year’s Visioning Retreat for Entrepreneurial WomenFree Guide: 5 Money Mistakes NOT to Make in 2024Free Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

147 | 5 Common Mistakes Women Business Owners Still Make at the 100K Level

As we’re all entering into review and visioning mode for 2024, I wanted to share some common things I’ve seen over the years with the women I’ve mentored. First, it’s important to note that over 80% of women business owners are working below the 100K income level. Whether you’re ready to soar past this milestone or find yourself consistently falling short of it, there are some fundamental aspects we can explore to not only achieve it but also to potentially surpass it (if that’s something you’d like to do). Elevating our income involves a dual process of personal healing and business growth. This is important because having more money empowers us to not only take better care of ourselves and those we love but also to be greater forces for good in the world. Let’s take a closer look together now, with curiosity, honesty, and compassion.Resources:Free Guide: 5 Money Mistakes NOT to Make in 2024Book your her Self Strategy Intensive Free Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackNew Year’s Visioning Retreat for Entrepreneurial WomenConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

146 | 2 Boundaries Every Woman Needs in Her Business

Do you ever feel frustrated with yourself, that, despite your best intentions, work bleeds into your personal life more than you’d like it to? Maybe it keeps you from spending more quality time with your family and friends– or even with yourself? Boundaries are a big deal. Not having them can lead to overwhelm and resentment (at best) and to burnout (at worst).These final weeks of the year are really potent ones for us to not only identify our intentions for 2024 but also to get really honest about the parts of ourselves that are likely to hinder our fulfillment of them. To help with this, today we’re exploring two, essential boundaries every woman needs in her business, as well as how to skillfully get out of your own way to embody them. Resources:Getting Out of Your Own WayFree Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackNew Year’s Visioning Retreat for Entrepreneurial WomenConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

145 | Rescuing Business from Toxic Masculinity

Today we’re taking an honest look at things we might consider to be “masculine”: business, money, success, and power. With my own change in direction to specifically serve spiritual, entrepreneurial women, I’m outlining a new paradigm for these things, and how we can all be a part of it. The path of spiritual entrepreneurship is one that invites us to see business as a potent path for healing, service, creative expression, divine partnership, and fulfilling our soul’s potential. But, before that can happen, we need to clear out old, outdated beliefs that may be hindering us from opening to more expansive possibilities for ourselves and our world.Resources:Get on the waitlist for Create Your Dream BusinessNew Year’s Visioning Retreat for Entrepreneurial WomenSubscribe to Sara’s Sunday JournalConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

144 | Using IFS to Clear Foreign Energies with Robert Falconer

Today I’m speaking with Internal Family Systems Practitioner, teacher, and author, Robert Falconer. As a survivor of extreme childhood abuse himself, for the majority of Robert’s career, he worked with fellow trauma survivors. Yet, an unexpected encounter while assisting an IFS Level 1 training ten years ago led him to also first explore and now specialize in something that’s come to be known in the IFS community as Unattached Burdens, or UB’s for short. In his new book, The Others Within Us, Robert investigates how these UB’s come to be– not only in our culture but also in those around the world. If you or someone you work with has things that don’t seem to heal as a result of personal or ancestral healing, you could have a foreign energy in your system, or UB. This isn’t something that’s often talked about, yet it’s more common than you might think! Together, Robert and I unpack how we get these, what possible symptoms of a UB are, and, ultimately, how to clear them from your system, safely and gently….so you can embody all of YOU. Resources:Robert FalconerNew Year’s Visioning Retreat for Entrepreneurial WomenSubscribe to Sara’s Sunday JournalConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

142 | An Unexpected Twist on My Business Journey

As part of a big transition taking place in my business, the other week I did something unexpected– and unprecedented– that came with some vulnerability. Today I invited my Marketing Director (with whom I’m partnering during this shift), Helen Hunter Mackenzie, to join me to talk about what went on behind the scenes of this decision. Together, we’re having an open, honest conversation about the process we went through after pulling one of my programs from the market two days after launching it (and how this then allowed for something even better to come through). This is for you if you need support with navigating a transition, dealing with the chaos of the creative process, or coming into deeper alignment in your work and your life. Resources:Helen Hunter MackenzieSubscribe to Sara’s Sunday JournalConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular
