Introduction: In this episode, Sarah Walton, a dynamic business coach and sales expert, unpacks the powerful connection between money mindset and personal growth. Raised in a low-income household, Sarah knows the unspoken rules and financial beliefs that shape our lives. She brings her signature no-nonsense coaching strategies to reveal how women in business can break free from scarcity, embrace abundance, and cultivate confidence in sales and life. This conversation dives into how mindset shifts around time, money, and self-worth can transform your business and personal development journey.     Main Takeaways: Unspoken Rules Shape Financial Beliefs: Identifying inherited beliefs can help dismantle the scarcity mentality. Money is Infinite; Time is Finite: Recognizing this truth can revolutionize decision-making and time management. Confidence Drives Perceived Value: Abundance flows when you confidently own your worth and offerings.     Main Topics with Timestamps: Unspoken Rules and Scarcity Mentality (05:15) Sarah explains how unspoken childhood rules—like "money is stressful" or "more is better"—can unconsciously control decisions. She emphasizes that these beliefs aren't truths but inherited mindsets. Quote: "Unspoken rules run deep, but identifying them allows us to rewrite our stories." Impact: Realizing how these unexamined beliefs operate can unlock a sense of freedom and control over your financial choices. Money vs. Time: Infinite and Finite (23:42) The misconception that time is abundant and money is limited is flipped. Sarah highlights that money flows endlessly in the economy, but time is a resource you can't replenish. Quote: "Billions of dollars circulate daily—it's about participating in the flow, not fighting it." Impact: This mindset shift encourages smarter investments in your time and energy, empowering you to focus on high-value activities. Perceived Value and Sales Confidence (41:08) Owning the value of your work is key to thriving in sales. Sarah reframes selling as a transfer of enthusiasm rather than a pushy transaction. Quote: "When you trust your value, you can confidently ask for the raise or increase your prices without guilt." Impact: Seeing sales as an opportunity to share value transforms fear into empowerment, fostering authenticity in every transaction.     Notable Quotes: "We come into this world naturally abundant; scarcity is something we learn, but abundance is always available." "Confidence in your value isn't about arrogance; it's about showing up with integrity and love." "The unexamined psyche will rule your life—question your beliefs to unlock your true potential."

Each of us has a unique sense of adventure. What does yours feel like? In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I speak with Sarah Lister, who runs About The Adventure, a career and life coaching business that helps people connect with what brings them to life as they navigate change. I love Sarah's approach to this topic and how she holds each person's needs within their unique spirit of adventure. The deer that delightfully derailed Sarah's sunset photographing quest one evening A Sense of Adventure Use this episode as an opportunity to reflect on the distinct elements that make up your personal sense of adventure. We explored the potential characteristics of adventure. For Sarah, it involves nature, spontaneity, a sense of challenge, and being somewhere out of the ordinary. But it also carries the openness to pause and breathe, to have the courage to stop walking and respond to the invitation of a particular moment. Whether it's stopping for a cup of tea with strangers or delaying a trek to photograph an unexpected deer on the hillside. There are a lot of juicy metaphors for life in this conversation and stuff worth reflecting on if you want to live a meaningful life. Recognising Our Sense of Adventure We might think of the "sense of adventure" as we think about a "sense of humour". While it's not a direct physical sense like touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing, it's something personal that keeps us in touch with what it means to feel alive and be ourselves. Adventure is not simply about the thrill of the unknown but also about our relationship with perceived possibilities, obstacles, and the creative potential we see in the path ahead. It's a key ingredient in living with a compelling sense of meaning. In our conversation, Sarah and I talk about: How to find adventure in the landscapes and environments around us Sarah's relationship with adventure and times in her life when her adventurous spirit shrunk The threads between imagination, daydreaming, and adventure When Sarah thought she was having fun but really was lost, and how she found her sense of self again Why adventure doesn't need an end goal, destination, or quest attached to it The role of safety in a successful adventure (and how we can increase confidence amid uncertainty by carrying the right resources with us) How to keep the adventure going even when the particular journey ends And more...

Her journey into the realm of physical therapy was shaped by a deep-seated passion for dance, an art form she fell in love with during her formative years.  With a rich background in various dance styles, including ballet, jazz, modern, tap, and hip hop, Sarah's expertise was acknowledged through numerous awards and scholarships. This recognition paved the way for her to dance in Hollywood, CA. During her time in California, she actively participated in a research study conducted by the physical therapy department of USC, focusing on common dance injuries. This unique experience ignited Sarah's desire to merge her two passions—physical therapy and dance. In 2019, Sarah graduated from Pacific University's doctorate of physical therapy program. Her academic journey included a specialized internship in dance, providing her with hands-on experience in working with dancers. Certified as an athletic trainer, Sarah brings extensive expertise in addressing sports-related injuries, having worked extensively with athletes. Sarah's approach to physical therapy is holistic, viewing each patient as a complete individual and aiming to address the root of the problem. Her qualities of patience, persistence, and unwavering commitment make her a dedicated ally in helping clients overcome pain. Beyond her professional pursuits, Sarah finds joy in spending quality time with her husband, Miguel, and their son, Luka. Her leisure activities include cooking, hiking, playing tennis, and indulging in the timeless joy of taking dance classes.   Resources from this Episode: Sarah's Website Sarah's Instagram Sarah's LinkedIn Sarah's Facebook     Follow Dr. Karen Litzy on Social Media: Karen's Twitter Karen's Instagram Karen's LinkedIn   Subscribe to Healthy, Wealthy & Smart: YouTube Website Apple Podcast Spotify SoundCloud Stitcher iHeart Radio

Today we are joined by Sarah Ann Macklin. Sarah is a renowned podcast host, public speaker, TEDx speaker, international model, and health journalist, she was also named Woman of the Year in 2019 by Rake Magazine.

In this episode, we discuss: Shannon's journey into becoming a school superintendent Her experiences with successfully completing her doctoral degree while also leading a school and now a district through a global pandemic, and She shares her passion for leading locally and more broadly mindsets to shift how we create conditions in our schools for experiences we want students to have rather than how they were done 150 years ago.

Cami lives in Northern Wisconsin with her parents, brother, and two dogs, who she loves more than anything in the world. When not reading or writing—which, admittedly, is what she does most of the time—she likes to watch and critique movies, spend time with her friends, correct the grammar of grown adults, and sing (even though she's not very good). She enjoys musicals and music, and can rarely be found without a song stuck in her head. Her dream is to keep writing and just make it through algebra.

In today's episode, I'm joined by body-based artists and activists Kai Hazelwood and Sarah Ashkin. Kai and Sarah are co-founders of Practice Progress, an anti-racist facilitation practice that addresses structural, professional, and interpersonal white supremacy through embodied learning. In our conversation, Kai and Sarah describe what body-based learning is, particularly through the lens of their LISTEN IN workshops, which are race-based spaces that address the physiological impacts of racism. In Kai's BIPOC Affinity Circle, the focus is on repairing the rest and care gap that so many people of color people face. She leads participants through embodied rest, practices that settle the nervous system, and frameworks for setting boundaries. Sarah facilitates the white working group and guides members to build awareness around what it means to actively be anti-racist. Kai and Sarah share examples of modalities that support the collective unlearning and healing in both workshops. In addition, Kai and Sarah are partnering with Arcos Dance to host their third annual UNtensive workshop. The four-day virtual gathering is designed for educators, artists, or really anyone who wants to explore the embodied nature of rupture and repair.Listen, rate, and review to Art Heals All Wounds on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      The distinction between body-based artists and dancers ●      Recognizing the ways that different groups embody white supremacy ●      The physiological toll of covert and overt racism ●      Building community around anti-racism and embodiment ●      Why Kai and Sarah decided against facilitating workshops in multiracial spaces ●      What to expect from the UNtensive workshop Resources Mentioned: ●      Sign up for the upcoming UNtensive workshop  ●     Kai's essay: I'm Breaking Up With Dance: I Can't Heal In The Same Relationship That Hurt Me●      Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey Guest Info:●      Practice Progress Website ●      Kai's Website ●      Sarah's Website Follow Me:●      My LinkedIn●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●      Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter
