Sarah Burke’s Story of Letting Go & Becoming Unapologetically Herself
Imagine being at the height of your legal career; earning more than ever, admired by peers, and yet feeling completely miserable.
That was Sarah Burke’s reality before she made one of the boldest choices of her life. To walk away from traditional legal practice in pursuit of autonomy, alignment and self-love.
Imagine transforming from someone who's afraid to say “no,” to becoming confidently building your own mediation practice, traveling the world, and stepping into your next chapter.
Sarah didn’t just change careers; she shed layers of who she thought she had to be and stepped into who she truly is.
In this episode, we talk about:
How to break free from people-pleasing and living in fear of others being “mad at you.”
Why autonomy mattered more for Sarah than a pay check.
How Sarah learned to trust her internal vision over external expectations.
How she built confidence through action, not waiting to feel “ready”.
How doing hard, scary things rewired her nervous system.
If you've ever thought, “Could I really leave?”, Sarah’s story is your sign that "Yes, you can!"
Tune in to hear how she built a life and business on her own terms and how you can too.
