🌱 The Success You Actually Want: Letting Go, Starting Over & Coming Home to Yourself

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Jones — a soulful strategist, business mentor, and someone who has the kind of clarity that only comes from walking through the fire.

We talk about the moment she realized she was chasing a version of success that looked great on paper — but felt completely out of alignment.

Sarah’s story isn’t just about pivoting in business. It’s about returning to herself.

We go deep on what it really takes to let go of something you worked hard for… and trust that something better is waiting on the other side.

This one’s for anyone in a season of questioning, shifting, or coming back to what really matters.

We talk about:
• The moment she realized “success” didn’t feel successful anymore
• Letting go of what looks good — to build what feels good
• What she had to unlearn to feel at home in her business
• The grief of changing direction (even when it’s the right one)
• How she restructured her work to fit her life — not the other way around
• Reclaiming rest, creativity, and a slower way to grow • Why “starting over” isn’t failure — it’s a return

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this all there is?” — this conversation will remind you: you’re allowed to pivot, and you’re allowed to build something that feels like you.
