"Plan BIG, but start small."

These are the words of wisdom that plant-based foods educator & conscious conversations podcast host Sarah Hlavacek-Metzger shares in our interview with her on the concept of Transitions. 

If the only constant in life is change, how do you handle it?

Sarah shares with vulnerability & authenticity from the actual point of transition at the top of 2025 — not just moving into the New Year, but also moving into the unknown (or a number of unknowns) as she seeks new growth for her business & life.

Here are just a handful of her intriguing points:

- Some clues you may be looking for a transition are experiencing moods of overwhelm, analysis paralysis, shame or guilt

- Saying yes to something you want to say no to is another clue; what does that feel like to you?

- To begin your transition journey with intention, you can ask yourself, "What do you daydream about? What gets you excited?"

- The main arc to manifesting lasting, positive change post-transition = minimize your limiting beliefs; identify what you want; keep working on your mindset throughout

- 'Wintering' can happen in any season

- Bonus tip: "Movement provides clarity."

Sarah also shares her new guide, the Art of Manifestation journal, available at her stan store. 

Oh, by the way, jump to 26:00 to hear her share this insight: "It doesn't have to be a full (life) overhaul to manifest your dreams. ... Just don't get stuck in the excuses or distractions."
