Sarah Plowman was a stay-at-home mom going through a divorce, waiting tables part-time, and had never made more than $42,000 a year in her life. She didn't see herself as a six-figure earner - not even close.Then her mom said five words that changed everything: "You'd make a great life coach."In this episode - the very first Embodied Success Call ever recorded inside The Embodied Society - Sarah shares how she went from waitress and single mom to crossing $1 million cash collected in her coaching business in just 4.5 years. She reveals:→ The thought that broke her brain when she saw other coaches making $100k MONTHS - and how she refused to let her "reasons why not" stop her→ Why her first $100k took 15 months but her second $100k only took 4 months→ How she went from $3k packages to signing $100k clients - without adding more time or bells and whistles→ The moment her throat closed up making her first $15k offer (and why she did it anyway)→ Why she stopped judging her desires for money and attention - and how that unlocked everything→ Her philosophy on "how" being a question you answer in retrospect, not in advance→ What it actually looks like to live like a "kept woman" while doing the keeping herselfSarah's approach is refreshingly simple: know your desire, be honest about it, take action before you feel ready, and refuse to make your story wrong. Now she works 6 hours a week on Zoom, homeschools her two boys, dances ballet twice a week, and starts her Mondays at the spa.About Sarah Plowman:Sarah Plowman is a single mom/waitress turned million dollar mentor.
