Episode 5: Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway! - Sarah Devereaux

In this episode I talk with Sarah Devereaux, who became the youngest in the world to hold the Master Certified Coach credential through the International Coaching Federation, and is still only one of three to hold that credential in New Zealand. 

Sarah talks about becoming a teenage mum and, after working in a bank for a year, she decided that she didn’t ever want to work for anyone else again! Sarah believed the only way she could be the best mum she could be, and not be capped in her ability to earn, was to start her own business and create the flexibility and opportunity she needed. Several successful business ventures later, and with a growing and supportive family, Sarah has stepped away from a coaching business she built from the ground up and has now created ‘Pause Retreats’, weekend events and coaching programmes for women to ‘reignite their zest for life, gain connection and life re-alignment’. 

Interestingly, Sarah started this venture after taking a pause herself, while on a family road trip for six months. Having found herself feeling trapped by the success of her coaching business, Sarah shares with us how she managed to work through the feelings associated with letting go of something that she had created and was still doing well, to find her ‘true essential self’. 

In this insightful episode, we can understand and learn from the emotional intelligence, focus, tenacity and the entrepreneurial spirit of Sarah, as she describes her journey, which is definitely a Life’s Work story worth retelling.
