Sarah Michelle Boes on Mental Health, Motherhood, and the Courage to Redefine Success

Join Leslie Gaudet and Sarah Michelle Boes, author, speaker, and former founder of a multi-million-dollar education company, for a powerful conversation about pressure, leadership, and what grace really looks like in the middle of uncertainty.  Sarah Michelle shares how navigating her daughter’s congenital heart defect reshaped not only her life as a mother, but her identity as a leader and entrepreneur. She speaks candidly about living with OCD and anxiety, learning to work with her nervous system instead of overriding it, and what it took to build, scale, and eventually exiting a multi-million-dollar business without abandoning herself in the process.  In this episode, you’ll hear about ambition and anxiety, integration over bypassing what is hard, and the identity shifts that come with stepping into a new chapter. Sarah Michelle also shares about her newly published children’s book and the advocacy work that grew from her family’s medical journey—creating language that helps families navigate hard conversations with honesty and care.  If you are a high-achieving woman who has ever felt the tension between drive and well-being, strength and softness, success and self-trust—this conversation will meet you right where you are and remind you that grace is not weakness. It is wisdom under pressure.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.
