Feeling stuck, lacking confidence, or like you're constantly trying to please others?
You're not alone. Many of us, especially women, struggle with perfectionism and people-pleasing, often losing sight of what we want and need.

Sara shares her personal journeyâfrom trying to be everything to everyone, to learning how to reconnect with yourself and make space for purpose and joy.
We talk about the importance of shifting from "doing" to "being," how to create more balance in your life (even when you're tired and busy), and why itâs so crucial to ask yourself, âwhat do I really want?â
Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about embracing the journey of personal growth.
