Welcome to my Tent

In this episode of The Bite, Sarah gets candid about two pivotal moments where things not going to plan turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. She shares two poignant moments. Leaving her corporate career and her journey with infertility. She shares how the very things that felt devastating in the moment eventually led to transformation and clarity.

It is about those moments that force us down paths we didn’t see coming. It is about the magic that can unfold when we trust we’re being rerouted and not rejected . Maybe you are in the middle of a big life shake up. Maybe you love a good butterfly effect story. Whatever it is, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear About:

Why leaving a corporate career wasn’t part of the plan but became a HUGE turning point in joy and vision.

The emotional rollercoaster of IVF and how loss shaped a new beginning

Learning to trust your intuition when everything feels uncertain

Reframing rejection as redirection. Even when you can’t see it in the moment.

The reminder that it’s okay to be in the middle of the mess

You don’t need to rush to find the silver lining. Sometimes hindsight takes time. But chances are, a few years from now, you’ll look back and realize this wasn’t the end. It was the most beautiful beginning.

Welcome back to THE BITE! In this episode, we explore what it means to become the bottleneck in your own life. Maybe you are launching something new, wearing all the hats, or chasing perfection so hard that it stalls your growth. We talk about it here.

This episode is a vulnerable and practical look at how we unintentionally block our own growth. We also hear how to ease up on the tight tiny squeeze spaces.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

– The signs you’re bottlenecking your own progress

– The role perfectionism, indecision, and fear of delegation play

– How to reframe your workload so it works with you not against you

– Striking the balance between automation and human connection

– Why being a bottleneck doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re evolving

Welcome back to The Bite. The podcast that delivers sharp, honest insights in 15 minutes or less. In today’s episode, we’re diving into something so many of us tell ourselves: The MYTH of the catch up week. Spoiler alert. That week never actually arrives.

What We’re Talking About:

• Why the concept of a “catch-up week” is a reactive trap, not a productive strategy

• How overcommitment and avoidance contribute to tasks rolling over again and again

• What it really means to build margin and intentionality into your week

• The power of eating the frog (aka tackling that one task you dread)

• And how to recognize when it’s time to let certain tasks or commitments go for good

If you’ve ever found yourself praying for more hours in the day or feeling like you’re always behind, this episode is your permission slip to reassess. You don’t need more time. You need better alignment and more breathing room.

Welcome back to a solo episode of The Welcome to my Tent Podcast.

We are diving into the world of small habits and how they can lead to big changes Spoiler alert: It’s not about building a rocket ship, but it might involve some Legos.

Sarah kicks things off by explaining why mindset shifts can be trickier to notice than physical changes. For example, it’s easier to feel sore muscles than to spot mindset shifts with your routines.

The episode wraps up with a reminder that personal development doesn’t always need to be a four-hour daily routine (because who has time for that?). Sometimes, it’s about celebrating the small, unsexy moments – like making an egg sandwich when you’d rather be scrolling through food delivery apps.

Sarah emphasizes the importance of consistency and trust-building in developing habits. It is a powerhouse combo to fuel you towards meaningful change. She encourages listeners to recognize the value of those five-minute actions that add up over time.

Sarah signs off by sharing her experience of solo parenting for the week, proving that even when life throws some chaos, small habits can keep you on track.

We will see you next week!

Today on The Welcome to my Tent podcast, we’re diving into the wild world of social media with the one and only Jera Bean. Jera is a social media strategist who’s been through her fair share of platform changes, iterations of her brand, and experiences on the internet.

Jera takes us on a journey through her evolution from 2015 to present day, ranging from fitness influencer to social media guru. Remember when Instagram was just sepia-toned hot dogs photos at baseball games? Yeah, those were simpler times.

We chat about the struggles of authenticity in a world where your followers can simultaneously praise you for being genuine and accuse you of being a “fake” at the same time. We discuss the importance of knowing it’s okay to NOT please everyone, and why staying true to yourself is king.

Jera drops some knowledge bombs about content creation, including her “content pillar trifecta” – expertise, business, and secret sauce. She dishes on her unique framework to help you show up on social confidently and as yourself.

We dive into the world of video editing with Jera’s “Video Editing Rodeo” course. She chats on why she created this, what the course entails, and how it is helping people find confidence in editing content for social.

Jera shares her thoughts on embracing imperfection in content creation. It’s time to get comfortable with “C-level” content, folks.

We wrap up with a discussion on the ever-changing social media landscape. Spoiler alert: The algorithm isn’t out to get you personally.

So, saddle up and give this episode a listen. Jera is a wealth of knowledge in the social media space, and she wants to share that with you all!
