“Suffer or Surf”?
So much love and light dear readers and listeners! Sarah, here with you “Fully Awake”
The awakening process or act of recognizing that one is awake is different for everyone. We are each on different levels. Some of us meet in the middle and join each other in the same field. Worlds can intertwine and unwind and bind together again along the way. I feel that this is present in my life in many ways. And specifically for a customer that used to come in 2-3 times a day when I worked at the coffee shop next to her children store. And there would be moments where I would occasionally see her here and there and sometimes often in yoga class, and now it’s like she’s magnetically back in, even as a customer/client again for a specific reason. I feel the Divine/God places each person in our lives for a reason. And what is really beautiful is that I had a moment with this individual that was specifically spectacular and allowed me to learn more from a more enlightened human such as herself. She’s shown up in such a way that is Divine for me. She’s helped teach and remind me that I still have so much to learn. It is moments like these than keep me in check, keep me humble, and recognizing that there is still so much for my young soul to learn.
Whatever stage anyone is in during the awakening process, we have the opportunity to level up. And more often than not I always choose to allow growth to take place. Deepening my self-knowledge, self-respect, and kindness to continuously let myself be and show grace and love to others where they are at. A lesson I’ve been reminded of alot recently is just to allow them to be, I can not change anyone, and it is not my place to even try… they are just where they are.
And threading this into where I am today. I am literally house cleaning and doing all the chores and I’m leaning over with the vacuum and my back gives out a bit, tweaks, does whatever these bones and muscles do to decide that they have had enough. (Not to mention the amount of cardio I did today then went straight into cleaning, ugh). This was a reminder to me to just relax, just be… this is what Saturdays are for… and to just allow myself to be where I am.
“Suffer or Surf?”
“The ocean tide is much like mother nature herself: beautiful, enigmatic, and not to be f*cking ignored. You can let the waves crash on you, or you can hop up on the board and ride them out”
And literally I have a moment where I went surfing with a roommates boyfriend, while she was at work and a storm was out in the ocean, and we got beat up! We kept going out there and catching some them I would fall off, then go back out, then get back on and just keep going. And we finally decided to go in when he lost his board after we both got caught in the wash a few times. This moment is truly an epic resemblance to whatever you do choose to ride out the storm and sometimes even to wait it out. To not give up, and to just let it be where it is. And this specific example was let mother nature be. Ride…. or not ride. Ride what you’re given :)

I am me. Sarah Elizabeth. I am learning. I am growing. I am fully awake. Aware of exactly where I am! And trust me, It's not always easy. Sometimes it's really hard to switch a negative perspective into a positive one. Here is a glimpse into these thoughts. I am grateful for the encouragement I got from Peloton this morning on my ride. Thank you Emma Lovewell for your encouragement to "acknowledge the fear". And this is applicable to life. We have to acknowledge it and show up for the fear. And show it who is boss. Right?! <3

It's what we choose to do with them, right? We all know this and how often do we actively practice shifting our own energy?
Th Silver Lining.
It is always there. Life sure seems to be handing us lemons.
Make fucking lemonade.
Faith is like a screen door on a submarine. I've said this before... and I really believe it. It's up to us to trust if we will not sink. We have to choose to keep going. Do you choose it?
Now, while the lions gate is still open- you got two choices.

Conversations with Brian Missirlian: Today's episode... Fitness + Faith.
I'm so glad Brian was willing to come on the show today and I look forward to having him again soon. In the world of Faith + Fitness it is easy to get caught up in a competition of ego with ourself.... and possibly trying to be like someone else. It is important to check in.
In today's episode Brian reminds us of this simple fact. He also talks about who he is and his background.... and what he is doing right now.

Yoga. Possibly my biggest passion in life is my #yoga practice. I haven't mentioned it much yet and I asked myself why?! Especially after the conversation with DJ. Yoga is my jam. It is how I begin to connect to my body, accept it, and really love who I am from the inside out.
In this life we eb and flow. And it is how we choose to be in each moment that shows up in and around our lives. In these times I have chosen to remain in the perspective that change is good. And yoga is good. It teaches me how to live and breathe in and out of life's every quickly changing moments.

My good friend Jackie of Sobriety After Dark + I Zoom Session it from our closest about:
Inner work/ the path to spiritual awakening.
“Without it… we are wasting out time”
Inner work + the beauty and challenge of it.
What is a shaman? We discuss the literal definition and how often Shaman and Guru can get a negative connotation. AND why I, Sarah here, decided to go away from calling my fitness name “little fit guru”.
Addict behavior
Yoga
The good and evil in this world + the recognition that we can not manage it. It’s not our place.
We are all human. We all make mistakes.
And yet we are all the same. <3

Fully Awake:
It took me a bit to write this. I wasn't sure what to say. I am a believer, and I recognize not everyone is. I used to really not like those people that talked about their believes all the time. So, if that's you... this podcast isn't for you. This is ALL about my perspective on organized religion vs spirituality, living my life the way God wants me to, and living in the right now vs living in the later.
I want everyone to like me. And I also know these conversations may not be for everyone. My perspective may be different AND I hope it helps you gain some insight on what YOU believe. If you believe in God. And if you see that the universe He created is all by him.... and that we are not in control AND that God has your back.
Take what you want. Leave what you don't want. The light in me fully honors the light in you.
Namaste <3

Introducing a Florida Light House: Kathy!
What a blessing for me to not only know Kathy and to also share a community of love and light with her. You will see clearly what I mean in an INSTANT simply by viewing her instagram. AND she lives it out. Follow her at @fullhearfreespirit
Kathy’s best friend Heather wrote her introduction:
“Kathy knows what it means to make a conscious choice to be better than her past. She inspires us all by living life to its fullest, in her signature positive, authentic way. She is committed to growth and it is her mission to empower people to always do their best, and to become who they were always meant to be through whole and intentional living.”
-Heather, also a beautiful light in this community. Follow her @wildpeacefulfierce
On the show, I literally say “wild peace, full, fierce.” ha… I still don’t got it right. She is wild, peaceful, and fierce. Exactly. I get it now ;)
Anyway. On today’s show Kathy shares her personal beautiful story and how she is proud of it. And she should be. It is a beautiful story. Kathy authentically opens up a bit more when I ask her too and I am so thankful. I am honestly more grateful that I have had the privilege to get to know her more.
Kathy describes what spirituality means to her and her perspective on religion and I super respect her space and take on spirituality is really about “connecting to your self, your highest self… connection”
The conversation comes full circle at the end to believing in your self worth. And as Heather stated, Kathy really empowers us to feel whole and worth.
At the end, she wants everyone to know that THEY ARE WORTHY. Kathy says “… what lights you up… what makes you feel the most you”
