This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about talking it out in real time.

    Girls Night Gummies, Cheer Moms & MLM Drama

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! This episode is a full life catch-up — from parenting lessons after cheer season to girls night chaos, Bravo TV confessions, and a very unexpected MLM retreat experience. I share why supporting your kids doesn’t mean controlling their passions, give an update on my husband finally delivering on the flowers I requested on the podcast, and recap one of the funniest girls nights I’ve had in a long time seeing Heather McMahan (with a gummy involved, of course). We also talk BravoCon prep, my ongoing battle with sugar before HYROX, and the moment I accidentally walked into an MLM retreat as the photographer… only to have them try to recruit me. It’s real life, real laughs, and a reminder that sometimes the best episodes are just catching up. Support the show

    Sexy Starts with You

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! This episode is all about confidence, connection, and keeping the spark alive in your marriage. I share a real-life moment that sparked a deeper conversation about intimacy, hormones, and why prioritizing your relationship matters more than we admit. We talk about feeling sexy for your spouse, dressing with intention, making touch and effort a priority, and why strong emotional connection changes everything behind closed doors. I also open up about comparison culture, loving your body as it is, and how confidence is the real glow-up. And because life isn’t all deep talks, I share about a late-night phone call with my best friend that left me exhausted but completely refilled — the kind of laughter every woman needs. It’s honest, a little spicy, very real, and rooted in one thing: connection. Support the show

    Real Life Updates, Growing Pains & Choosing Peace

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! This episode felt different — in the best way. I’m sharing real-life stories, reflections, and moments from this current season that honestly left me feeling proud of where I am. We talk growing pains at work, the guilt that comes with growth, training for HYROX with my husband, tackling projects together at home, parenting in a digital world, and navigating what it means to stay present while everything around us feels loud. I also open up about a moment from the Mardi Gras Ball that captured exactly how I feel right now — grounded, happy, and at peace after a season of sacrifice, hard decisions, and letting go of what no longer served me. This episode is less about lessons and more about life — the kind you only understand once you’ve lived it. If you’re in a season of growth, reflection, or choosing peace over chaos, this one’s for you. Support the show

    Mardi Gras, Social Media & Me Losing the Plot

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! In true Sarah fashion, this episode goes a little everywhere — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😅 I kick things off chatting about the Mardi Gras Ball, the chaos, the excitement, and everything that comes with it, then roll straight into a social media rant that honestly needed to be said. We’re talking social media as the new website, mindset shifts, consistency, and why hiding online won’t get you where you want to go. I attempt to ease into some girlie locker room talk… but if I’m being honest, I squirrel hard and end up wrapping things up because real life (and my next appointment) was calling. And honestly? That’s exactly how this season is going. It’s fun, opinionated, a little unhinged, and very on-brand — because this wouldn’t be a Sarah episode if it didn’t end in mild chaos. Support the show

    Setting Goals Without Pretending I’ve Figured It Out

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! This episode is about goals, money, and intention — but not in a “guru” or perfect-plan kind of way. I’m sharing how I’m approaching this season of my life with more intention, especially when it comes to money, growth, and the way I set goals now compared to before. I talk about why my word of the year is intentional, how my relationship with money has matured, and how I’m unlearning some of the beliefs I was raised with around money being negative or something to fear. This isn’t financial advice — it’s just what’s been working for me as I grow, shift, and figure things out in real time. If you’re trying to set goals without burning yourself out, questioning old money mindsets, or just want permission to do things your own way, this episode is for you. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t — and know you don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. Support the show

    A New Year, But Make It Intentional

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! Season 2 kicks off with intention, reflection, and a fresh perspective on goal-setting — without the pressure or perfection. In this episode, I’m sharing what it really looks like to enter a new year aligned instead of overwhelmed. We’re talking about setting goals that actually make sense for your life, releasing expectations that don’t serve you, and choosing growth that feels sustainable. I open up about practices that have helped me gain clarity over the years, including why I write a letter to myself every year, the revelations that come with slowing down, and how awareness can change the way we move forward. This episode is about creating direction without rigid plans, honoring where you are, and giving yourself permission to evolve. Season 2 is all about adding value while still leaving room for fun, honesty, and real-life conversations. If you’re craving a grounded start to the year that feels thoughtful instead of rushed, this episode is for you. Support the show

    S1- E17: Life Lately, Holiday Chaos & Why I Swear by Life Coaches

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! For the final episode of the year, I’m catching you up on all the life things — the chaos, the calm, the holiday magic, and everything in between. With Christmas right around the corner, I’m talking about how I’m preparing (emotionally, mentally, and as a mom), and why this season always pulls out a different version of me. I’m also sharing why I believe life coaches can sometimes be more helpful than traditional therapy, how they’ve shifted my healing journey, and what I’ve learned about growing into the woman I want to be. And of course, I’m giving you a little sneak peek of what’s coming for the first episode of the new year — new energy, new stories, new guests, and a whole new level of Southern Unscripted. Thank you for listening, supporting, sharing, and showing up with me this year. Big things are coming in 2025. 💙✨ Support the show

    S1 - E16: Sister Shenanigans: Five Sisters, Two Mic's, and a Whole Lot of Chaos

    Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING! I finally sat down with all four of my sisters — and let me tell you, this one is pure chaos in the best way possible. We talked about everything from childhood stories (the good, the bad, and the wild) to who’s the favorite, and how we somehow survived growing up in a house full of women. There were laughs, a few heartfelt moments, and even some unexpected therapy sprinkled in. This episode is a true peek into my real world — the love, the honesty, and the absolute madness that comes with raw sisterhood.  Support the show
