Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today, I'm joined by a special guest, Sarah Lovell—an executive function and ADHD coach who brings so much value for both our work with students and our own professional and personal lives. Sarah Lovell (she/her) is an executive function & ADHD coach for college students, ambitious professionals, overthinkers, and recovering perfectionists who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready to work with their brains, not against them. With 11 years of experience, Sarah helps clients who try tool after tool… only to burn out or blame themselves when nothing sticks. She helps you understand why it's so hard to get started (even on things you want to do!) and make sustainable changes in a way that feels good. Sarah's background in social work grounds her work in compassionate practices, believing self-talk and self-care are the foundations for executive functioning. Along with 1:1 coaching, she runs a membership, Stuck to Started, that gives you extra support and accountability. She also hosts From Stuck to Started podcast, where she shares realistic, actionable strategies in 20 minutes or less. When Sarah isn't coaching, she enjoys trail walks with her dogs, snuggling up with tea and a good book, and paddleboarding. Summer Summit Replay Access Did you miss Summer Summit? It's not too late! When you join IMPACT, my monthly membership for school counselors, you'll get access to all of the Summer Summit session recordings, along with PD hours. Sarah's session is one you don't want to miss. She shares how nervous system regulation supports executive functioning and practical tools to apply these strategies in your life and with students. Sneak Peek: Sarah's Summer Summit Session In her session, From Overwhelmed to Organized, Sarah discusses the connection between executive functioning and nervous system regulation: When our nervous system is dysregulated, it becomes hard to access our executive functioning tools. Self-talk is a foundation for executive function, but regulation must come first. She walks through tools for both hyperarousal (anxiety, fight/flight) and hypoarousal (low energy, disconnection), including: Breathing and grounding exercises Somatic movement, like balance or tapping Separating planning from action to reduce overwhelm A Day in Sarah's Life Sarah supports a wide range of adults: college students, women with ADHD, entrepreneurs, and business owners. She holds 1:1 coaching calls, runs a supportive membership, produces podcast content, and handles the daily marketing and admin needs of her business. Advice for Counselors “Self-talk is the foundation!” Whether you're feeling stuck, procrastinating, or overwhelmed, it starts with self-awareness. Understand the difference between procrastination and being stuck. Take a pause, name what you're experiencing, and give yourself credit along the way, not just when you meet the goal.

Hey hey, Product Bosses! In this week's coaching session, I sit down with Ashley Terrell, founder of the children's pajama brand Saints & Ivy, who's navigating the early stages of her product launch. Like many of you, Ashley launched a beautiful product with heart and purpose—but found herself stuck when sales didn't follow. She came to me with questions like: “Why isn't anyone buying?” and “What should I post on social media?”Together, we uncover that this isn't a product or price problem—it's an awareness problem. So many small businesses struggle with this exact hurdle. Ashley and I work through a visibility strategy, starting with defining her ideal customer and then using the ABCs of content (Attract, Bond, Convert) to build a rhythm for her brand on social media. It's not about posting more, it's about posting with purpose.Ashley's mission to bring culturally inclusive, representation-rich pajamas to the market is powerful—and what she needed most was for people to see it. In this episode, I help her connect the dots between product, brand voice, and customer identity. If you're building a business rooted in heart and impact, this episode will give you the roadmap to get visible, build connection, and ultimately boost sales.Resources:Learn more about Ashley's line of sleepwear here.Follow Saints and Ivy on Instagram by clicking here.Don't miss my brand new “From Stuck to Sold” workshop!
