Sarah gets real about the messiness of launching new things - from email platform disasters to spiral moments to the growth that happens when you refuse to let mistakes derail you. This unscripted Monday recording (released Wednesday) captures the raw highs and lows of pushing outside your comfort zone, featuring retreat launch chaos, hard-won self-compassion skills in action, and why Sarah's building things that don't exist yet in the behavior analysis world.

In this episode Sarah Discusses...

The email platform disaster that almost derailed the retreat launch (twice)
How she caught herself spiraling and used the skills she teaches in real-time
Personal growth markers: being able to sleep through mistakes and not blame others
Getting validation at exactly the right moment from an ACT trainer peer review

Why constantly stepping outside your comfort zone matters more than feeling comfortable
