I knew my recent trip to Mexico with my dance partner would be transformational.
I was right, but not at all in the way I expected.
Buckle up for one hell of a dramatic story of how my trip turned into a portal for deeper self-trust and love than I even thought possible.
I'll share the process I took myself through of burning down the trip, my relationship, and even parts of my business to rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
This story will leave you fired up to bring your life and business into total alignment with who you are today, and I'm going to help you.
Join my Burn It Down workshop where I'll guide you through the process and share for the first time publicly the exciting changes coming to Sarah Plowman Coaching.

My business is inches away from crossing $1 million dollars cash collected since I made my first offer in 2021, a milestone that seems insane but also....of course.
Why?
Because I made this moment inevitable from day 1 by deciding it was done.
Long before the clients.
Long before the certification.
Long before making more cash in a week than I used to make in a year.
I made up my mind, I claimed my identity, and I got to work.
In today's episode I show you how to audaciously decide who you are and what you want (no outside permission necessary) so you create results so good they look like a red flag.
Summary -
My financial results since starting my coaching business don't make sense. To go from bartender making $42,000/year to making $1 million as a life coach - while going through a divorce as a single mom to 2 small boys - is not normal.
But let's be real, normal is never what I was aiming for.
I knew I was meant for extraordinary.
Extraordinary impact, experiences...and money.
And in todays' episode I share with you the 2 biggest mindset reframes that helped me to create the "so good they don't make sense" money results in your business so that you can too. Because who wants to go for a normal life when you have the power to make even your craziest dreams come true.

Can you imagine feeling like your very existence is a creative expression of who you are and what you want? For most of her life Sarah did NOT feel this way, often telling herself and others that she "just wasn't a creative person."

In today's episode of The Audacity Sarah shares the joy of embracing your authentic self and the beautiful ripple effect it has on the world around you.
In this episode, Sarah shares her personal experience with anxiety, discussing the importance of self-acceptance and the steps she takes to navigate her feelings.
