This week's encore episode is a listener favorite for so many reasons. Sarah (Brown) Brooks shares with us how the highs and lows in life can help shape who we are and how having the grace to accept what comes our way, can't help but usher in more of the good stuff. 

Change can upend us in ways we never expect, yet so often, our toughest seasons become the fertile ground for our greatest growth. 

Sarah (Brown) Brooks life path has been marked by profound transformation through sobriety, the loss of an 18-year marriage, surviving breast cancer and finding love again through manifestation and the unwavering belief in a new chapter. 

Drawing from her work as an executive coach, her journey along the Camino de Santiago, and her guiding philosophy of amor fati—to love one’s fate—Sarah has emerged not just as a survivor, but as a voice of compassion, wisdom, and hope for others traveling through their own storms.
