Reinvent with Sari

The past few weeks I have been practicing A LOT of surrender and it's a topic I have been wanting to dive into for a while now on the podcast. Surrender is different than acceptance and allowing - it feels different in my body - and on today's podcast you will hear more about why it's important to practice surrender and how to do it faster. Check out Michael Singer's books here...

Have you ever been consumed by jealousy desiring something that someone else has - a relationship, a car or house, an easy ability to laugh or a "perfect" body - and it triggers a little pity party (or maybe a big pity party)? I know I certainly have and on today's episode I am sharing some tools for how to use envy (it's actually not jealousy) for good and be more empowered to...

What would you invest in to receive an extra hour? What if you were gifted an extra hour? These questions got me thinking when they were posed to a group of us. I was thinking about this question as daylight savings approaches for those of us in North America. We have a bonus hour coming up! My answer this year as I wrote about it was totally different because that question created a reinvention f...

What is enough for you? Is there a place in the future where you feel calm, ease and enoughness? Just by entertaining the question, it says that it is possible. What if we were designing a life around that vision instead of what society says will finally make su happy? In today's podcast I give you two ways to think about enoughness and a new paradigm on how to achieve amazing goals that actu...

I've been thinking a lot about reinvention and I had a realization that reinvention is only possible when there is hope. And the great news is that hope can be learned and it needs to be fostered. In today's episode I share with you a personal experience where I am fostering hope and a recent call with someone wanting to start a business.  The Reinvent Book is here! Find the ebook and pa...

I was at a retreat last weekend and had an experience that triggered decades of pent up anger and fortunately I was in a safe space that I could share what happened and get support. As women, we are often taught to stuff our anger down and be nice. Good girls don't get angry. On today's episode I am sharing with you some tools for how to process anger that doesn't involve lashing ou...

When you look at what you want and then you look at where you are at, do you feel stuck? Whether it is in a relationship, your health or body, your home or your job, you want more, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get there. On today's podcast I share with you my experience last weekend where this came up for me and the strategies I used to gain my power and agency back. Looking f...

How we view our past is what we expect to get in our future. We make it so because we believe the story of what we make our past mean. If you see yourself as resilient, you probably have a past of a lot of outside events happening to you that forced you to be resilient.  This can be a good thing, but when we get stuck in the loop it can create an identity and then we are constantly creating more s...

On this day 22 years ago my life changed pretty significantly as a result of 9/11 and I'm guessing for many of you, yours did too. When outside events happen, we have many ways of dealing with them. Mine wasn't great and I shut down and played it small and safe. Hear my story and how it can be different for you now with the tools of resilience and reinvention I support my clients with. ...

For a long time I associated getting through tough times with suffering. I am sure you have examples in your life, perhaps a parent or grandparent, who went through big challenges and also closed down emotionally to get through it. This isn't the only way to get through hard moments and I share with you a recent experience I went through that showed me how using the tools of resilience I use...

Do you have a relationship with your future self. Most people don't. They see that version of themselves 10, 20 or 30 years down the road as a stranger. Someone who they don't really know or even care about that much. Future self work is one of the main tools I use with clients to help them reinvent. On today's podcast I share with you several ways you can use your future self to st...

What if the goal is not to be happy all the time, but instead to embrace the full spectrum of emotions and experiences of being human? The contrast is there to teach us more about ourselves and when we lean into it with more acceptance, the "bad" doesn't feel so bad anymore. On today's podcast I share three ways that embracing the contrast leads to more well-being and ease in y...

You ready to talk about our mortality? Momento Mori is the stoic idea that we should remember that we too will die, not to incite anxiety, but to decide to make each day count. I am celebrating my 48th birthday this week and it is good to remember that I will only be this age once and you will only be this age once too. What will you do with the short time you have on this planet?  The Reinvent Bo...

Who you surround yourself with matters. In fact, Harvard Social Psychologist Dr. David McClelland's research showed that the people you habitually associate with determine as much as 95% of your success or failure in life. Take inventory of your anchors - the people who keep you the same or drag you down - and your engines - the people who help you keep going and propel you forward.  The Rein...

You don't "have" to do anything. Really, you don't. But most of us walk around with an internal script running in the background reminding us of all the things we "have" to do and it is sucking our energy dry. I love this word tool of "have to, get to, want to" and use it often in two ways. It is especially helpful if you identify as a people pleaser in some...

You may be a liar without realizing it. If you are people pleasing you are not being truthful with yourself or others. When you say "yes" to a request, you are saying "no" to something else and it is time to take back the power in your own life to create one that is more aligned and authentic. On today's episode, I help you identify if you might be people pleasing in some...

How much trust do you have with yourself that you will follow through on what you say you will do? Like going to the gym, going to be earlier, only having one drink, eating on protocol, not getting angry with someone or getting that project done.  Rate yourself from 1 - 10.  If you are below a 9, don't beat yourself up...the best news is that self-discipline is a muscle that needs to be built...

Have you ever noticed that when you get something you have really wanted - the big promotion, the dream relationship, an award or just a feeling of real happiness - you have a bit of a breakdown in response? It could look like self sabotage, imposter syndrome or just plain 'ol catastraphizing.  I share with you what has been termed the Upper Limit Problem in Gay Hendrick's book The Big L...

Picture yourself in September. How do you want to look back and feel about this summer? What experiences and connections with people did you want to have and did it happen? We are almost in July and the summer will be over before you know it. On this podcast I share with you some tips to plan your summer with more intentionality and how to take time to set up your downtimes for more happiness and...

Instead of things happening to you, what if you came from a mindset that you actually have the power to create everything you want by first creating and vision for what you want. In today's episode, I explore the concept of "we create everything twice" inspired by Stephen Covey in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People .  The Reinvent Book is here! Find the ebook and paperback at h...

This episode is a reminder that you  deserve a great life, that you are worthy and you have permission to remove the rusty nail that is the current known discomfort that isn't in alignment anymore with what you want.

Physical pain is a part of the human experience; we can't avoid it. But, the emotional and mental suffering is optional and we often actually increase our pain when we pile on in the other areas. I woke up with a pain in my shoulder on the day I recorded this and I walk you through how to lessen your experience of pain and take back your agency to find some relief. I have some clients who are...

Do you ever feel like the world is conspiring against you? The weather, your bank account, your neighbors and someone bringing a fresh out of the oven sourdough loaf to a bbq? This is all happening to you and what ensues like eating half the loaf (this may or may not have happened) is out of your control.  In today's episode, I am introducing you to one of the main tools and a foundation of m...

Loss of a loved one, a pet, a job, a marriage or anything that we didn't see coming is an opportunity for reinvention. Initially though one has to feel the grief and work through the denial, bargaining, anger, depression to get to acceptance. But then what? That is where a reinvention is possible. This week marked the 12 year anniversary of my dad's passing. I have noticed that the past...
