From Hostage To Hero

Yeah, I turned 50 three years ago... BUT. Everything I said back then?  Still true.  Maybe truer. This encore episode is about what I've learned after five decades of building a life, a business, and a body that BEAT f*cking cancer — and what I REFUSE to do anymore. If you're GRINDING your way to some imaginary finish line… If you're WAITING to enjoy the life you've already built… You NEED to hear this. You're so focused on the end, you're missing the life happening right NOW. Love, Sari    Quote:  “The point is the journey, my friends. It's not where we're headed.

Have you ever realized that every verdict you've EVER won started BEFORE you “felt” ready? That is because… ⚡ “READY” is a decision, not a feeling. ⚡ Take this 15-minute power shot and hit the ground running: 1️⃣ Myth-buster: Perfection ≈ Procrastination → Fastest path to regret. 2️⃣ Mind-hack: Swap “someday” for “right f–ing now” by reframing this belief. 3️⃣ Action trigger: A 3-word mantra that karate-chops analysis paralysis right in the throat.  Count backwards from 3, then just. fucking. go. 

Hosted by the one and only Kevin de la Motte — my husband, our lead mindset coach, and beloved “Coach K” to the H2H crew. In this powerful episode, Kevin takes on a habit so MANY trial attorneys cling to: over-preparing.  And he shows you how it's NOT helping your case — in fact, it might be hurting it. Inside, Kevin breaks down: ⚡️ 3 damaging myths about preparation ⚡️ Why you'll never feel “100% ready” — and why that's okay ⚡️ What actually wins cases (hint: it's not your color-coded outline) ⚡️ The mindset practice that can shift everything in the courtroom You've got nothing to prove. But you DO have a powerful message to deliver. Let Kevin show you how to show up as the badass you already are. Tune in NOW!

So, you think you nailed your voir dire… Jurors are bonding with you, they're engaged, and it feels like a REAL conversation instead of a STALE Q&A.  Then, OUT OF NOWHERE, one juror starts “helpfully” suggesting random facts they believe you need. If you've ever seen a NEAR-PERFECT VOIR DIRE get blindsided by off-topic tangents, this episode is for YOU.   We're diving into H2H strategies like:

Let's get one thing straight: Time isn't your problem. You don't need another planner, color-coded calendar, or “productivity hack.” What do you NEED?  A complete rewire of how you think about time — and yourself. In this episode, I'm calling bullshit on the time management cult and sharing what actually works when you're ready to stop living in overwhelm and start creating the life you actually want. If you've ever said, “I just need to get through this day/week/month,” this episode is for you. Listen now

Ever dread facing awkward courtroom moments or uncomfortable topics with jurors?

The truth is, facts ALONE won't get you the 6-FIGURE WINNING VERDICT.  If your voice is stuck in monotone (which I know most of y'all are guilty of, because that's one of the very first things we work on… AHEM!), you're handing your jury an invitation to… MENTALLY. CHECK. THE. FUCK. OUT. In this episode, we break down how to harness genuine emotion by diving into the minor mindset shifts and vocal tweaks that transform bland openings into compelling, authentic, jury-winning stories. Tune in and learn exactly how to dial up the emotion (without tipping into full-blown theatrics) and MASTER the sweet spot that moves jurors from PASSIVE LISTENERS to ACTIVE BELIEVERS. Xo, Sari   Mentions: On Becoming a Trial Lawyer – Rick Friedman Quote:  “You want big verdicts? You've got to go there emotionally. This is why the Crew exists, by the way. A big reason. Because we know that figuring out how to put an opening statement together or which voir dire questions to ask is just the start. That alone won't get you where you need to go. ‘Let me put some emotion in my voice' is not going to do it. Why? Because you're never going to put emotion in your voice until you feel you're able to risk emotionally and be vulnerable. That's what it takes.” — Sari de la Motte   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR'S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

This week, I'm talking with Jody Moore, a powerhouse trial lawyer who hit a breaking point and had to ask herself:

Ever catch yourself bending over backwards to seem perfect — only to feel like a phony anyway? Sara Williams once said, “Freedom is understanding that you cannot control how other people perceive you,” Stop letting external opinions define your self-worth. I'm gonna say it again.  

In today's podcast, I'm diving into why documented processes (yeah, those boring SOPs you've been avoiding) are actually the secret to scaling your practice and getting your damn life back.

Most attorneys think their job is to present information to the jury.  But here's the truth: presenting isn't enough — you NEED to perform. The best trial attorneys don't JUST deliver a case.  They OWN the courtroom, COMMAND attention, and MOVE jurors to action.  Here's what we're covering:

Ever found yourself scrambling to come up with voir dire questions and hoping they land  Stop. Right. There.  Asking, “What should I ask in voir dire?” is like asking “What turn should I take?” without knowing where you're headed. Before you focus on the questions, you need to know the destination. In this power-packed 15-minute episode, we're breaking down how to craft a voir dire strategy that actually inspires jurors to take action in favor of your case instead of leaving them confused or disengaged.

Should you talk about money in voir dire? Before you panic and say, “No way, Sari! That's too risky!” — HEAR ME OUT. In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most controversial questions in jury selection:  Should you tell jurors the number you're asking for? Spoiler alert: I usually say yes.  BUT, (and it's a big but) HOW and WHEN you bring it up makes all the difference. Here's what we're covering:

Let's talk about the preponderance of the evidence. You know, the thing that's supposed to make your job easier but somehow ends up confusing the hell out of your jury?

You know that endless to-do list that never stops chasing you?  Yeah, I ditched that ages ago. Instead, I've found a system that's SAVED my sanity — and my schedule. Here's what we're covering in the episode: ⏰Why working against your natural energy cycles is setting you up for burnout. ⏰How to schedule your time first (yes, before work and everyone else). ⏰The genius way I've stopped letting random tasks derail my day. Spoiler alert: this system has helped me stay productive while working less than 40 hours a week, even with a growing business and all the life chaos.  Oh, and if you're juggling ALL the things and thinking, “There's no way I could make this work,” let me tell you — YOU CAN.  (I've even got my time blocked for Netflix binges. Priorities, people!) Tune in now and learn how to reclaim your time and your life.

“This case was a mess — so many moving parts, we were overwhelmed. But H2H changed everything. With Sari and Jody's help, we turned that chaos into a $20 MILLION DOLLAR verdict.” — Nick and Shauna

Let's talk about mindset shifts that ACTUALLY WIN TRIALS. Anna Martinez ditched the fear-driven playbook and leaned into the POWER of juror connection. The result?

Ever wonder what happens when someone learns the H2H Method on a Friday... and then walks into jury selection on Monday and crushes it?

Let's be real — holidays aren't all twinkling lights and cozy vibes. In this week's episode, we're diving into 7 strategies to protect your energy during the holiday chaos. Here's a sneak peek:

❗NEWSFLASH – instructing the jurors to put a value on non-economic damages is like asking someone to build a piece of IKEA furniture without the instruction manual.  Jurors are practically BEGGING you for a formula, and without guidance, they often feel resigned to the task well before deliberation even begins. **THE DAMAGES HOUSE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**

I sat down with Coach Jody and Coach Marlo to discuss a smarter and more intentional way to tackle depositions. MOST attorneys are doing them on autopilot, and we're here to show you HOW to approach them with purpose and creativity. Here's what we cover: ➡ WHY fact-finding depos alone are holding you back and how to flip the narrative. ➡ THE DIFFERENCE between being reactive and proactive in depo prep. (Spoiler: one gets you better results.) ➡ HOW to bring the same clarity and confidence from voir dire into depos. ➡ WHY collaboration will always beat going it alone — EVERY TIME. Hit play NOW and start rethinking your depositions. Xo, Sari Quote:  "If I'm the director at trial, I'm also the director in the deposition.

Let's get one thing straight: if your opening statement is just a list of “what shouldn't have happened”, then you're setting yourself up for FAILURE. In this week's episode, we're breaking down HOW to captivate the jury's attention from the start and teach them the right way to look at the facts — starting with the teaching section in your opening statement. Here's what you'll learn: ⚖️ Why the “what not to do” approach doesn't work and what to do instead. ⚖️ The strategy that makes the defense's case look like an intentional mess. ⚖️ The secret to guiding jurors to see the defense's actions for what they are — choices, not accidents. Ready to own the courtroom from the very first word? Ya know what to do.

We create a designed alliance with our jurors—why wouldn't we do the same with our judge?!  In this episode, we're diving into the art of building BENCH rapport. ⚖️ Because the last thing you need is your judge side-eyeing you and throwing objections your way just because your approach is unfamiliar.  We need to approach them with a transparent and deferential strategy that makes them feel prioritized in their courtroom. Tune in to learn how to make your judge your strongest ally!

In this episode, Kent Hammond joins us to break down how he walked away with a $2.4 MILLION VERDICT in a case that could've easily gone the other way. If you're ready to STOP hoping and START knowing how trusting the jury can lead to massive wins, even when the odds are against you — this is the episode for YOU. Tune in and crack the code.

Ever feel like you're juggling ALL the things?

Resonant conversations with jurors — those moments where you connect deeply on an emotional level — can be a game changer.  BUT. Is there such a thing as too much connection? Here's what we're diving into:

You're in the middle of voir dire, talking, they're nodding, but those blank faces tell you everything — you know they're not really hearing you. In this week's episode, we're tackling exactly how to change that. We've got Amy Day, executive coach who knows a thing or two about getting through tough crowds. We'll show you how to use coaching techniques like powerful questions, active listening, and trusting your intuition to engage with jurors like never before. Because what jurors really want is the raw, unpolished truth, NOT a performance. So stop shying away from those unscripted moments and start owning the room. TUNE IN NOW! Xo, Sari   Quote:  “So many conversations we have are surface-level and not full of authenticity. People are constantly giving us information about themselves, but we don't clue in, we don't listen, and then we don't make something of it. Resonant conversations are about getting to the deeper level of who someone is and what's important to them. When we have those conversations, we can resolve conflict quicker, create connections, and actually bring abundance because people are looking to be seen.” — Amy Day   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR'S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.
