Head, Heart & Whole

In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you’re not yet. I break down the signs you’re on the edge of your next level before your external reality has caught up. I share what’s really going on in this in-between phase - why relationships fall away, why your preferences change, and why you start craving something different without fully knowing what it is yet. We get into the discomfort that comes with this space, how doubt creeps in, and why so many people either stall or try to go back to what’s familiar instead of moving forward.We cover:Signs you’re “on the edge” of your next level (and why they’re often misinterpreted) The identity shifts required to actually step into what’s nextHow subconscious reprogramming and your nervous system play a role in making this happen (or staying where you are).What im moving through right now exactly in relation to thisWhy things start to fall away without anything going “wrong”What to do with the discomfort and emotional turbulence in this stage How to move through this without outsourcing your decisions or collapsing into doubtSay Hi on instagram - I love hearing from you @sarahscullyleafMy 1:1 mentorship The Elevated Woman is designed to help you create a life you’re absolutely OBSESSED with waking up to.

“What do I do when the people I love no longer feel aligned but the new haven’t come in yet?” is one of the most commonly asked questions I get.This episode is broken into two parts:The first part is how to meet new, aligned people, based on exactly what I did moving overseas at 31 without knowing a single person, (to now having friendships of a depth and capacity i didnt even know was possible to have).The second part is how to navigate the relationships already in your life - how to know when it’s time to walk away, when it simply needs a conversation with a boundary, and how to accept people who are now in a very different chapter of life to you.Navigating changes in friendships as we grow is a challenge we all face, and this is a practical conversation designed for you to come back to over and over.Say Hi on instagram - I love hearing from you @sarahscullyleafGO DEEPERJoin me inside The Elevated Woman - a 1:1 mentorship for changing your life to being “okay” or “good enough”, to one you absolutely thrive in and are excited to wake up to each and every day.Friendship is just one of the pillars we look at!

I’m joined by Jade Marrey for a really honest conversation about self-love, chasing success and how to feel secure and enough within yourself.Jade shares very candidly her journey through stripping, fitness, plant medicine and becoming an author – and how what can look like ambition or success on the outside can often be a deeper search for safety, belonging or validation.We talk about what actually means to build self-love, how to grow it more deeply within yourself, and why so many people are still chasing things outside of themselves even after years of personal growth.We also unpack the duality of how to know when something is genuinely growth-oriented or from a wounded part still trying to prove something, be chosen, or feel enough. If you’ve ever struggled with not feeling enough or you know there’s a part of you that you need to love more deeply - this episode is for you.Key Talking PointsHow to actively cultivate self-love in your lifeThe role of chasing success, achievement and validation to try to create safetyHow to know when something is genuinely growth-oriented versus from a wounded part still trying to prove something, be chosen, or feel enoughWhat it looks like to outgrow identities that once felt safeThe role of body image and shame in your self-love journeyThe importance of forgiveness as an act of self-loveHow judging others mirrors the way we judge ourselvesConnect With JadePre-order her book Stripped to the Soul on Barnes & Noble or Amazon Jade’s instagramTo work with Sarah: For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email [email protected] create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

Have you ever sworn you were “done” with something - a job, a relationship, a pattern… and then found yourself right back in it? This episode is a deep dive how to break the patterns you keep repeating over and over again.I share my story of being in unhealthy relationships - cheating, arguing - until i met my ex-boyfriend in what would become a physically abusive relationship. I go deeply into my journey afterwards of PTSD, trying to healing with talk therapy, and what it took to actually heal - not just cognitively process it. This is an episode about creating the life you want from a lived reality - where your level of knowledge and awareness matches your day-to-day behaviour and relationships in your life.Key Talking Points:Why you keep looping in the same patterns and how to finally break themThe trap and prison of self-awareness when you know better but can’t act differentlyHow to know what’s yours to heal and what’s someone else’s responsibilityWhy “making the right choice” feels impossible in the momentMy experience living with PTSD - the symptoms, behaviours and how I would act in ways I wasn’t proud of.What Western therapy gave me and where it left me stuckHow somatic work and breathwork changed things that intellectually processing never couldThe difference between knowing what to do and actually becoming the person who does itLinks and Resources MentionedFor Breath Different, Feel Different  (POD10 for 10% off)To work with Sarah: For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email [email protected] create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

Confidence affects every area of your life. Your relationships. How you feel about your body. Whether you advocate for a pay rise or go after work opportunities. Yet so many people still think it’s something you either have or you don’t.Its not - It’s a skill that can be developed and in today’s episode, I give you a step-by-step process to build it.I approach this from a nervous-system level, so you’re not forcing yourself to change or trying to “act confident.” Instead, you’re building confidence in a way that actually feels good, strengthens self-trust, and creates something embodied and sustainable.Key Talking Points Why confidence isn’t something you do or don’t have, but a skill that can be developedThe specific, tangible foundations confidence is actually built onHow your relationship with your body directly impacts how confident you feelWhy broken promises to yourself erode confidenceThe nervous-system piece most people miss when trying to “be more confident”The difference between forcing confidence and building real self-trustWhy “imposter syndrome” isn’t real and what’s really underneath itThe link between confidence, expression, and how you show up in work, dating and lifeLinks and Resources MentionedLearn more about or apply for The Elevated WomanBook a free connection call with meTo work with Sarah: For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email [email protected] create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

Today one of my client’s, Bonnie Wicks shares openly about a period of her life where she was so overwhelmed and burnt out she was having intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt her kids. She was constantly overstimulated, reactive and on edge. What she needed wasn’t more parenting strategies. It was to regulate her nervous system and shift the internal state driving her reactions.Through our work together inside The Elevated Woman, Bonnie moved from frenetic, urgent energy and daily reactivity to a home and business that feel more easeful, manageable and joyful. More recently, Bonnie found herself genuinely excited to have five weeks with no childcare – and in this episode we unpack exactly how she got here.This conversation is honest, grounded and a powerful example of what changes when a mother learns to regulate herself.Key Talking Points:How Bonnie went from intrusive thoughts about hurting her kids to feeling excited for five weeks with no childcareThe shift from frenetic, burnt out urgency to a far more regulated and patient baseline in running a business and a home.Why you can’t regulate your kids, but regulating yourself changes everything. The specific practice Bonnie still uses to help her in high-stress moments including supporting a child with autism, ADHD and ODDThe single belief uncovered in hypnotherapy that changed the way she experiences motherhood and businessWhy The Elevated Woman has been one of the top 5 most influential experience of Bonnie’s lifeLinks & Resources MentionedThe Elevated Woman - details and application formBook a free connection call for The Elevated Woman to see if it’s an aligned fit (this call is with me)Connect With BonnieInstagram WebsiteBrand, Business & Becoming PodcastTo work with Sarah: Book a free connection call with me for The Elevated WomanThe Elevated Woman - details and application formTo book in a hypnotherapy session - email [email protected] create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of the life you see now and walking you through the exact process I used to create it. I share the honest story of going from a burnt out corporate lawyer with PTSD and zero clarity on what was next, to building a business and life in Bali that I genuinely love waking up to.This is not a “just follow your dreams” conversation. It is the actual three step process I use with clients to create change faster than I did on my own. We talk about getting clear on what you want, identifying what is between you and that life, and how to take action that your nervous system can actually sustain. I also share a personal update from a recent low period and how I moved through it without abandoning myself or blowing up my life and business.If you are highly self aware, doing all the right things and still feel stuck in the same patterns, this episode will show you where change actually happens and how to start creating your version of success.Key Talking Points:The honest backstory behind my move from law into business and life in Bali (and the exact process i used to build it)What i’d do differently if i was doing it all over againWhy clarity does not come from waiting and how to actually get clear on what you wanWhat is actually between you and the life you want (not what you’ve convinced yourself)What aligned, inspired action really means and how to take action your nervous system can sustainWhy doing this alone keeps you in trial and error and what changes when you have the right supportThe core wound I had to shift to create the life this beautiful life i have nowLinks and Resources MentionedThe Elevated Woman - details and application formBook a free connection call for The Elevated Woman to see if it’s an aligned fit (this call is with Sarah)Replay for The Mission & Meaning Roadmap To work with Sarah: For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email [email protected] create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

In today’s episode with Kim Kent, money coach and financial advice disruptor, we start the episode by answering the controversial question, which is more important to create wealth - the inner work or the strategic work?This episode is a deep dive on both - the step-by-step inner work and the strategic work needed to create huge financial abundance in your life. We unpack how your nervous system and subconscious beliefs affect your ability to create wealth and why that alone isn’t enough, without structure to support it.We also unpack the practical side of money that most people avoid or oversimplify - how you relate to budgeting, the way your accounts are set up, the order money leaves your life, and how and when to prioritise saving or investing to build long-term wealth.Key Talking Points:Inner work vs strategic work and why financial abundance needs bothThe core money wound underneath your scarcity and why no amount of money ever feels enoughWhy making money is different to holding money (and what actually changes that)The “Person A to Person B” gap.
