Friends it’s hard to believe it has almost been two years since Sonderlust the Podcast launched! So much has changed, I have made new friends and connected deeper with old friends, I moved, I’ve dated, and perhaps the biggest change is I realized my passion for making spaces for people. I wanted to share the trailer to my new podcast “Making Spaces” and invite you to follow my journey as I try to bring together people from all different walks of life who either through their design work, or through the way they create community are helping to make space for people in a time when we need it most. I look forward to connecting with you!Please subscribe on whatever platform you listen to your podcasts and while you are at it please leave us a review so others can find the show! Thank you for all you’ve done to help me find my bliss!

This episode marks the one-year anniversary of Sonderlust the Podcast. It was a year ago, on Sarah’s 37th birthday, that John and her had the phone call that would set this whole challenge in motion. So now, as Sarah celebrates her 38th birthday, she’s taking this episode to look back at how it all started (yes, we’re going to play snippets of her first conversation with John), and listening to the words of her friends as they embrace her with birthday messages of love and encouragement as she moves forward.

Throughout this entire 52-week challenge, the most difficult part for Sarah has been improving her dating life. So, she decided to work with a dating coach, and is now in what she refers to as “dating bootcamp.” But as awkward as it might be, Sarah is finding that there is plenty to learn - from her coach, about her dates, and most importantly, about herself. So in this episode, Sarah calls up her big brother Jonathan to get some advice. They talk through the struggles both of them have had over the years in finding and keeping relationships, and what the road ahead looks like for Sarah.

On this episode, Sarah continues her conversation with Jonathan Martin about her feelings of burnout, and what it takes to feel alive again. Sarah Heath is the host of Sonderlust the Podcast.

Sarah has been in ministry for a long time. And, as is often the case, people who “do ministry” every day get to a point where they just need to take a break. The relentless pace is just unsustainable. That, along with the normal pressures of everyday life, can leave a person feeling completely overwhelmed. Jonathan Martin knows all about this. After starting a church, pastoring, going through a divorce, moving, writing, pastoring some more, and in the process of it all, finding himself again, Jonathan is the perfect person to talk to Sarah about her decision to take a renewal leave from the church.This is part 1 of a 2-part conversation. On this episode, Jonathan helps Sarah realize that by taking a renewal leave, she’s doing the right thing - for herself, her relationships, and her ministry. The best thing she can do is learn how to slow down … and … just … stop. Sarah Heath is the host of Sonderlust the Podcast.

In an effort to get her dating life back on track, and to continue pushing herself outside her comfort zone, Sarah visits her friend Kevin who reads her tarot cards. Kevin is a trained reader and believes he does it through the Holy Spirit, but even still, this was quite uncomfortable for Sarah.And then she has a conversation with Lisa Shield, an expert dating coach in L.A. who is currently finishing up her first book, “Naked Dating.” Lisa talks to Sarah about love, divorce, marriage and the significance of becoming the person that others will find attractive.

Recently, Sarah got word that - due to an ADHD diagnosis - her brain isn’t exactly what she thought it was. And her best friend John - who has had 14 concussions - is also dealing with his own brain-related trauma. So in this episode, Sarah and John invite you into an honest and vulnerable processing conversation. John shares about his ongoing battle with depression, and Sarah comes to grips with the overwhelming feeling that at the end of the day, she’s just not doing enough. And as these best friends reveal their struggles and share hopeful words, they both come to the realization that because of these lifetime conditions, they have an entirely new set of coping skills to learn.

Last week, Sarah attended a wedding with her friends Logan Grubbs (a priest) and Blake McIver (an actor). When the wedding was finished, Sarah recorded conversations with them about what it looks like to maintain a sense of worth, when everything in our culture is fighting against that very idea.Then, Sarah decided to catch up with her best friend John. As always, John provided a listening ear as Sarah talked through some of her current fears and struggles, and in turn, John - like the great life coach that he is - gave Sarah all the wisdom. Wherever you are in this journey of life, be encouraged and know you’re not alone. You matter. You have worth. And you are loved. You can follow Logan on Instagram and Twitter, and you can see what movies Blake has been in, and then follow him on Instagram and Twitter.Sarah Heath is the host of Sonderlust the Podcast.

Jeffrey Lawler is many things…an athlete, spartan warrior, former trainer, theologian and entrepreneur. But he’s also someone who deeply believes in the importance of taking sabbatical time, especially when it comes to social media and technology. Earlier this year, Jeffrey turned off his phone and didn’t pick it back up for thirty days! So in this conversation, Sarah and Jeffrey dig into the importance of going on social media fasts, and why doing this consistently is part of the way that Jeffrey has chosen to live his life.

So in this episode, Sarah and Brady talk about life, work and why spending time with your family is better than anything.Throughout the conversation you’ll hear Sarah and Brady talk about the importance of putting family first, meeting (and dating) someone who might seem intimidating, how Brady got his start in acting, how Brady and Tiffani first got together, finding someone who loves you for being you...not for what you’ve done, making space for the work your significant other is doing, navigating social media as a “public family,” online dating (is it “Bumble" or “Bubble"??), and the little things that make all the difference in a relationship.Sarah Heath is the host of Sonderlust the Podcast.

When Sarah asked her health coach, Bethany Wood, to be on this episode, she had no idea that it would result in an agreement to go on a social media cleanse. But that’s exactly what happened. And now…Sarah is questioning her decision to ever start a podcast. One week with NO social media? But there’s a reason Bethany challenged Sarah to go dark on social media for a week (it all started after watching the “Nosedive” episode of Black Mirror). And now, Sarah wants YOU to join her on this cleanse. Are you in? Here are the rules:For the week after this episode airs (May 1 - May 7), commit to no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or any other social media. You can still email, text, listen to podcasts and use the internet in general. But we recommend that you either delete the social media apps from your phone for the week, or just do whatever you can to make the apps less accessible and tempting. Also, turn off all social media notifications and alerts on your phone, iPad or watch so they don’t distract you or make you tempted to check them.You can use the hashtag #sonderlustcleanse when you post your last social media post before going dark, and when the cleanse is done, Sarah and Bethany would love to hear about your experience and what you got out of it. This is going to be fun! (At least that’s what Sarah keeps telling herself…)If you’d like to connect with Bethany, email her at bethanywood.healthcoach@gmail.comSarah Heath is the host of Sonderlust the Podcast.
