Ask these 8 questions to get out of myopic thinking in reflecting & envisioning practice

When you hit the wall, keep digging... for nothing is what it seems

I saw a meme once that said "Strong people break, too. We just do it in silence, rebuild, and keep on moving forward." First, I nodded.   And then remembered something. The reason I choose to be so open and honest about my breakdowns and breakthroughs is exactly this:   when I have been at my breaking points, picking up the pieces of me and my life, I so needed someone to honestly share their mess.   Not the polished hero's journey that only remembers the good stuff (and inserts ...

Yes, there is the other side of this narrative - the genocide of the Indigenous people, now honored as the National Day of ...

Accepting all of who we are, giving ourselves what we need to feel & do better

As I sat by the Hudson river the other morning, one of my favorite places to recharge my batteries, find an inspiration, and calm my system, I thought about all the way I used to fight myself against myself. Like, not giving myself what I require to feel better so that I can do better. Then, I also thought about certain definitions that have finally brought me peace... That have finally helped me feel seen, understood, and my life finally started to make sense. For example, being... I...

How to transcend feeling stuck when nothing seem to work? Experience it!

Just hours after I celebrated 10th anniversary of my business, sharing with my audience the journey, ups and downs, and lessons learned in a very upbeat energy....I found myself in a fetal position, crying.   Feeling stuck. Helpless. Frustrated. And utterly incompetent.   I could feel the cascade of self-judgement come over, and with it shame and guilt.   The only thing that needed to be done, was what I had resisted the most: asking for help.   Because doing so would require...

It's go time - what are you willing to live with in order to achieve your goals?

During our family's recent vacation to the Colonial Williamsburg, I was in a deep contemplation over our willingness to go for what we say we want... For what we see in our vision, in our knowing.

As a coach and strategist, I work mostly with visionary leader. Women in particular who too, are RSVP-ing to create something in their lives, with their g...

Taking risks & following our dreams or putting heart in a box to play it safe

Success, regret, and a state of being

When was the last time you defined what success means to you? Renegotiating terms with yourself? What does it even mean to you? I was inspired to contemplate on this topic after partaking in a panel discussion. And I thought, so many women are in this predicament right now, so let's talk about it.

Becoming a US citizen - holding two nations, two cultures, two homes

I became a US citizen. As friends and family keep congratulating me, one of them asked, "So, how does it feel?" That gave me a pause...I would be dishonest if I only shared about how exciting and unbelievable this all is! Does that make me ungrateful for this absolute honor and privilege that has been awarded to me? Relatively effortlessly when so many others had to wait for it for decades? When it’s been denied to even more? I would like to think not. But it's complex.

Deep reflection on rebirth & emergence into the world in new light

Today I want to share with you something that literally poured out of me recently. I feel that nowadays, a lot of highly achieving, highly accomplished women have experienced this rebirth.

In the episode #11, we talked about releasing old identities and completing life’s missions (https...

The Multi-million Dollar Price of Making a Difference

How the "should" mode is messing up your creativity flow, productivity, joy?

Space on the calendar that is marked as "Podcast recording." Notebook with bullet-pointed ideas for topics. Blinking record button. And blank space in my mind. Not a single coherent sentence. Now what? It got me thinking... How often do we take ourselves out of the game, joy, flow of creativity because we are just so focused on all that we "should" be doing? Or how it "should" be done? And also, what happens when the weight and the pressure of those expectations are just too great? Can...

In gallery of life, you are the curator of exhibits; spotlight what you choose

Imagine, what if life was an art gallery... and you were in charge of curating exhibits, what would you spotlight?

Reimagine the possible in new ways, and accomplish much more with less

While our daughters got to play together during the day and enjoy slumber parties at night, and our men got to do what they do best as dads, Dianne ...

Feeling empty and being OK with it as a mission-driven high-achiever

"I got noting. Absolutely no thought, no ideas, no opinions. Empty. I am empty. And I love it! It's so expansive, it's so nourishing!" I said to my business partner when we spoke on the phone at 7am the other day, and she asked how I was feeling. We had just started our family vacation, our first sleep-away one after the pandemic. The days leading up to it were interesting! In addition to dusting off my planning and packing skills (aren't we all quite rusty?), I felt something shifting w...

The experience of releasing old identities & completing life's missions

Do you ever wish to have the "bibidi-babidi-boo" magic wand at your disposal? As a little kid, I don't recall being fascinated by fairy tales, much less with Disney princesses. Even though the Cinderella's transformation left me unfazed, I would be lying if I sad that I didn't wish for that magic wand every once in a while as an adult. Transformation. Releasing of old identities. Completing life's missions. Stepping into new ones. Remembrance. In my life, I have experience these cha...

My new to America story - separation that challenged & completed me

17 years ago, I arrived to New York City with 3 suitcases. New continent. New country. New culture. New language. New expectations.

After sharing wit...

Car-shopping AKA masterclass in intentional manifestation

Ever since I can remember, car-shopping has always been a big deal in my family. Yet, it has changed so much: as a little girl, I remember walking to a bank with my dad. When he explained to a teller what kind of money order he needed to pay the deposit on a new car, he finally opened a plastic bag he had been holding all along, and took out piles of cash - arguably the most cash I have seen in my life! "Wow!" I exclaimed enthusiastically, only to be told that it wasn't worth all that much...

Childhood in Slovenia, and a journey through experiences that formed me

My story begins in Škofja Loka, a picturesque medieval town of 20,000 in Slovenia. A descendant of WWII resistance figthers and a daughter of entrepreneurs, I once made a wish: “I would love to see Paris, New York City, and Hawaii!” when marveling at a stack of postcards from my grandmother's brother, a sailor. But the two decades I got to spend immersed in nature of lush forests, rolling hills, and surrounded by family and friends before basketball brought me to New York City at the ag...

Quiet before the storm; embracing stillness to speed up results

Let's talk about hard work. How do you define it? For me, I work harder than most people I know. I totally own that! Now, I used to hustle, grind, to justify my worth, success. Hard work now feels very different: it exalts my strengths, it's aligned with my mission, it feels easy. It is flow. That said, I also work fast. I move fast. So oftentimes, as reality (and other people) are still catching up with me, I would try to compensate and fill up the idle time with more work. Stre...

Revisit the past to create a different future

What happens when the vision crystalizes and we realize that what we remember...what has helped us make decisions that our future now depends on...is not the whole story, much less the whole truth? Can we change it? And if so, how? And why should we? My dear friend recently helped me access the most profound, shiver-worthy message that sent me back into the past so that I could re-experience it, so that I could see what I couldn’t see the first time - so that I could scoop the new energy,...

My coming to America story - resistance or test of commitment

"Sara, would you be interested in playing NCAA D-1 basketball for us in NYC?" read an email I received one. My home was in a medieval town of 20,000 in Slovenia, I had just retired from playing basketball at the highest levels, and had no asporatins to ever live in the USA. I also could barely speak English at the time. 17 years later, I still live in New York where I now have my own family and my own business. So let's talk about how this almost did not happen! And, about leaps of ...

Unconventional way to heal from depression & burnout as a leader

By the age of 30, I had more than I could ever possibly ask for - international athletic career, academic accolades, growing business, dream home, loving husband, new family,...   While powering through short winter days of snuggling a newborn, caring for a toddler, managing my team, and planning to retire my husband… something unexpected happened.   Postpartum depression and two trips to the ER due to burnout, paired with incredible homesickness and grief after losing two grandparen...
