Holy hot dog - I just spent the week in NYC with today’s guest and this woman is a POWERHOUSE. She’s rooted, she’s passionate, she’s ready to rock some socks.

Sarah Nannen is a keynote speaker, life coach, and the author of a best-selling book Grief Unveiled: A Widow’s Guide to Navigating Your Journey in Life After Loss. Sarah became a military widow and solo mom of four young children in 2014 when an aviation accident claimed her husband’s life. Her journey through grief opened her eyes to a renegade way of approaching life and possibility that now informs her work with women breaking through limitation to live extraordinary lives.

Through live events and coaching programs, Sarah guides women to move with clarity to sustainably integrate their dreams into reality.
