    #54. C is for Courage-and Clarity: Mastering the Conversations That Change Your Life

    Send us a text              “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”   Wayne Gretzky What if clarity doesn’t come before change — but through courageous conversation? In this episode, Sari explores why we avoid important conversations, how our nervous system responds to emotional stakes, and why courage is the gateway to clarity. Drawing from neuroscience, Mel Robbins’ activation tools, Seth Godin’s insights on bravery, and real-life stories from students, parents, and business leaders, this episode offers a practical framework for navigating uncomfortable conversations with confidence and compassion. You’ll learn how to regulate your emotions, speak with intention, and co-create solutions — whether you’re talking to a teacher, employer, roommate, client, or loved one. Because the conversations we avoid often hold the clarity we seek.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode  Why “hard conversations” feel hard (and what your brain has to do with it) How fear activates the amygdala and blocks clarity Why courage must come before clarity Seth Godin’s perspective on bravery and resistance How Mel Robbins’ 5-4-3-2-1 rule helps you take action despite fear A simple C³ framework for courageous conversations How to speak with curiosity instead of defensiveness What to do when conversations feel tense or unresolved Why most people regret what they didn’t say more than what they did Journal prompts to help you prepare for your own meaningful conversationsFacebook-Just Count Me In Instagram- Just Count Me In Influential Women Verified IW Badge Thank you for joining me!

    #50. New Year, Same You, Less Pretending Choosing Standards Over Goals

    Send us a text Influential Women Verified As the year comes to a close, many people feel pressure to set goals and define the future — even while exhausted. In this episode, we explore a different approach: What if alignment matters more than goals? Drawing from neuroscience research, lived experience, and reflective practice, this episode explores how chronic stress often stems from incongruence — the gap between who we truly are and who we feel we need to be. You’ll learn: Why alignment is a nervous system state, not a mindsetHow incongruence keeps the brain in survival modeWhy choosing a personal standard can feel more regulating than setting goalsA short regulation practice to help you reconnect with what feels honestThis episode is for anyone seeking clarity, ease, and truth as they enter the new year.

    #49. New Year's Reflections

    Send us a text After a week of deep presence with family, we unpack the difference between doing what looks right and choosing what feels true, and why that distinction changes everything from motivation to joy. What if the most powerful shift you make this year isn’t a bigger goal, but a softer nervous system? What are you no longer available for? What are you now ready for? We pull back the curtain on fear-based habits and performance pressure to reveal a steadier path: alignment you can feel in your body, not just measure on a calendar.  You’ll hear how safety and connection unlock the brain’s natural learning systems and how to spot alignment.  We share practical ways to close the year with integrity and start the next one with clarity.  If you identify as sensitive, thoughtful, or burnt out by demands at work, school, or home, this conversation offers permission and tools to create the conditions you need to thrive. We also talk about our private, highly personal coaching for those who want guidance in nervous system regulation, self-trust, and aligned action. Whether you’re ready for 1:1 support or simply want a place to breathe and reflect, you’ll leave with kinder questions and doable steps that make real change possible. If this resonated, subscribe, share with someone who needs it today, and leave a review to help more listeners find their way to alignment.

    #48. Holidays: Your Presence is The Best Present

    Send us a text  Presence Over Performance: The Gift That Matters More Than Perfection What if the most meaningful gift you could give isn’t something you buy — but how you show up? In this episode of Transform Your Life: Just Count Me In, we explore the powerful shift from performance to presence— especially during the holidays, but also in everyday life. Not every family looks like a Hallmark movie, and that’s okay. In fact, letting go of perfection may be the very thing that brings us closer. Through gentle reflection, simple neuroscience, and wisdom from Maya Angelou, Brené Brown, Ram Dass, and Thich Nhat Hanh, this episode offers permission to soften expectations, release pressure, and reconnect with what truly matters. People may not remember what you bought them — but they will remember how you made them feel. This episode is for parents, families, sensitive souls, and anyone who feels the weight of trying to “get it right,” and is ready to choose presence instead. In this episode, you’ll explore: Presence over performance during the holidays and beyondWhy perfectionism creates pressure instead of connectionHow family imperfection is normal — not a failureThe nervous system science behind why calm presence mattersWhy emotional memory lasts longer than material giftsA gentle winter solstice reflection on rest and stillnessSimple, meaningful ways to give the gift of presenceIncludes a short guided presence practice to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect — even in difficult or imperfect moments. Key reminder: You don’t have to perform to be loved. Your presence is already enough. If you’re ready to trade pressure for presence, this is your gentle invitation. Follow the show, share it with someone who needs a softer season, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find their way to calmer, kinder holidays. Your presence is already the gift—thanks for bringing it here. Instagram- Just Count Me In Facebook-Just Count Me In Thank you for joining me!

    Send us a text  The holidays are meant to be a season of miracles, belief, love, and light. In this conversation, we get honest about the invisible pressure of December and choose a different path: presence over performance, fullness over fear, and a steady, sustainable glow over short bursts of forced cheer.

We unpack the neuroscience of stress, offer a simple body check for aligned giving and remind ourselves that love never asks for proof. You'll learn how to: Understand holiday pressure through the nervous system Release over-giving without losing generosity Align with the natural inward energy of winter Bring light with without burning yourself out Remember that you are already enough This episode is for anyone longing for peace, simplicity, and authentic connection during the holidays.
