Sarah Dayan Mueller: On Fully Experiencing What Is Here and Now and A Serendipitous Journey To Becoming An Author

Send us a text

I’m delighted to bring you today, this wholesome, honeyed conversation with a new-found friend and a fellow avid lover of books and stories, Sarah Dayan Mueller. Sarah is a native of Brooklyn, New York. She is the author of two novels, including Home in a Hundred Places and Greater than the Still. Aside from writing her next novel, Sarah enjoys playing piano, ukulele, photography, and traveling the world. She lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband, son, and mother. 

What stood out for me the most about Sarah, is the level of trusting and allowing that she lets in to her life that eventually led her to develop some of the most beautiful destinations and connections. When she decided to take a 180 degree pivot from working her 9-5 as a counselor and then later in Human Resources to take on the roles of a marine wife and a full time mum, transitioning from city to city and at times countries, she found herself having to establish new routines and pursuits, yet, it was in this unassuming phase of her life, where she found time between her son’s sleeping times to create, finish and publish one of her best writings yet - a beautiful memoir to remember her late father’s story and now legacy with. 

This conversation left me filled with hope, light and introspection. There is good in the Here and Now, if we would allow in and make space for the possibilities and experiences that comes with it. 

I invite you to listen to this episode if you’re: 

• Struggling to harness joy and intention in your here and now 
• Needing motivation to start and try something new with the resources you have access to, however little or small 
• Needing to hear a different perspective about being new to a place and how to find opportunities to create positive experiences 

I also shared in the 1st 7 minutes some emotional heaviness I’m currently walking through and the tiny but specific actions I took to help get myself to a more centered, balanced place. I hope it serves and helps you too.
