"I fiercely believe if people could find joy and happiness in how they spend their conscious hours, the world would be a much more pleasant place. I truly think if more people were doing what brings them happiness professionally, it would change everything." - Sara Schultz
I fell in love with Sara's energy the moment we connected, and you're about to see why. As someone who's built a thriving creative agency while raising a family, Sara embodies what's possible when we reject the limiting belief of "either/or" thinking. Throughout our conversation, she drops wisdom bombs about trusting your intuition, following what feels like a "hell yes," and creating success that doesn't sacrifice your wholeness.
What struck me most was Sara's refusal to accept outdated business rules – she's written her own playbook and invites us to do the same. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt torn between their ambitions and their desire for a rich, multidimensional life. Are you ready to sprint toward your own version of success?
