ABOUT US (well, me, Sarah)

This is Mindful Productivity— a resource hub for entrepreneurs to create without the hustle.

Our mission is to help you live a more satisfying and authentic life.

How much money does your business need to make in order for you to live the life you want? How many hours do you actually WANT to work? How much is ENOUGH for you? These are the questions we ask ourselves and the questions we ask you to lead you to your most fulfilling path.

What I believe…

Hi, I'm Sarah! I use she/her pronouns. I'm here to help you live a more mindfully productive life. That means feeling organized, keeping track of the details, and implementing systems in both your business and personal life so you can feel at ease and focus on what matters most.

Integrating mindfulness practices into your life boosts your immune system, helps you manage stress, hold space (and handle) all emotions, and can help you feel more calm and at ease on a daily basis!

I believe that productivity and business strategies look different for everyone. You and your business are individual and unique. Your brain works in creative ways. That means there isn’t a one-size-fits-all framework or goal I’m ever going to tell you that you need to achieve.

It also means that there will likely be many people that support you on both your personal-growth and business-development journey. It’s my goal to give you everything I can to support you in my areas of expertise.

When you can organize your life & biz and feel productive in ways that are energy producing, it’s a complete game-changer for how you show up in your every day life and how much of an impact you can make through how you help others.

How Mindful Productivity came to be…

The Good Stuff

It’s hard to pick a place where a story truly begins but I like to start during a transformative time in my life that I had no idea would lead me to where I am today.

After about 8 months on a dating site I met my now husband Kyle. We met at an Applebee’s in WA state and spent 5 hours talking non-stop. I didn’t tell him this at the time (because crazy lady) but within moments of meeting him I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would fall in love and marry him someday.

I’ve never been the type of person to believe in those “love at first sight things” but then it happened to me.

I tell this story much more in depth on Episode 11 of the Mindful Productivity Podcast here but let’s just put it this way, there was something magical happening.

The Exciting Stuff

After 3 years of dating, Kyle decided to re-enlist in the Navy. It meant that within the space of 4 months, he’d propose, we’d get married, and we’d move across the country. Things were moving so fast and I had to say goodbye to a lot.

Family, friends, the great Pacific Northwest, and a job of 5 years with people I had grown to consider family.

The Hard Stuff

Moving across the country was exciting but it left me in a quarter life crisis. Not knowing what to do next, I took a job that I thought I could duplicate into what I had back in Seattle. Nothing about it felt good. And when I quit after only a few weeks I felt like a failure. I also worried about what it would mean for my future.

I took a total of 3 jobs in this new state before realizing something had to give. The universe was nudging me toward fully stepping into my true self and the person I would soon become. I know, it sounds all kinds of corny but stay with me ;)

As soon as I decided something more was in store, I found a program I knew was for me. And within a matter of months I applied, got accepted, and started my Master’s in Health & Wellness Coaching at Maryland University of Integrative Health.

It was through this program that I began healing, learned the power of mindfulness, meditation, and the deeply rooted inner work and self-awareness I had pushed away for some many years before.

Little did I know that this experience would lead me to an even deeper healing. One that would be dark, painful, debilitating, and harder to pull myself out of than anything before.

(more on that in this podcast episode)

After getting out of a debilitating depression that left me in bed for days on end at a time, not knowing how to escape my own mind, I had another crazy magical experience. (More on this in the future book I’ll write someday).

Mindfulness both led me to my inner-guidance, helped me trudge through the depths of pain, and illuminated my path forward. It continues to guide and support me in my daily practice.

Mindful Productivity WAS BORN

I decided to combine the power of mindfulness, intention, stillness, and self-awareness with the left-brained areas of productivity, systems, and strategy. Since then my life has never felt more balanced and exciting.

Things are streamlined and controlled where they need to be and with those things in place, there’s more space, energy, and room to grow slowly, to slow down when you need to, to have more “nothing” days and to step into your relationships and interactions with others in powerful ways.

There’s power in both left and right-brained thinking and doing. When we hold space for both, we create a nuanced dance of efficiency and unmatched inner power.

I teach these practices, share my systems of organization, journaling, meditations, mindfulness, and productivity strategies both on my blog, on the Mindful Productivity Podcast, and in the courses and programs I offer.
