200: Creating Calm, Building Community, and Living with Intention with Sarah Watson

This week, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a dear friend and incredible leader: Sarah Watson. Sarah and I have worked closely together through The Restoration Project, a coaching and consulting organization in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, helping leaders and teams live, lead, and work with greater meaning.

In today's conversation, Sarah shares her gift for creating calm, building intentional community experiences, and empowering others to take their next best step. We talk about:

How creating space and connection for leaders can fuel real action
The importance of protecting your time, energy, and heart
How evolving through different seasons of life and career brings out new sides of ourselves
Why listening deeply to yourself is the key to finding your next step
The story behind Sarah's journey, including quitting her career twice to find the right fit for her life and mission

Sarah's wisdom, warmth, and leadership truly embody the spirit of The Restoration Project and everything she touches, including her newest passion project, the Kick Ass Lady Club (yes, it's just as awesome as it sounds!).

If you've been craving more intention, ease, and community in your life, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

🎧 Tune in now to hear Sarah's inspiring story and practical advice for building a life and community you love.
