If you're a teacher, a helper, and/or a giver, and you run a business sometimes your BEST intentions are ALSO the things that make growing a business the MOST complicated. Sometimes your best intentions feel like they conflict with what you're 'supposed' to do to build a successful business... and that makes creating success (and not hating it) hard. And THIS is where the UNcomplicating Business podcast comes in. UNcomplicating Business is for the teachers, the helpers, and the givers who want to HONOR their best intentions, BE themselves out in the business world, AND grow a successful business - one without all the shoulds, the drama, or the complicated steps. If you're a teacher, helper, and a giver, and you want to find success as YOURSELF, the UNcomplicating Business podcast is here for YOU.

Reflections of a Business Weirdo
I'm a business weirdo. I want to do things 'right' and also I'm completely unwilling to do things that don't feel like me... which means a lot of the 'rigth' ways of the traditional business world don't match up. Maybe you can relate to this feeling :) On this episode, I'm going to share what being a business weirdo has meant for me, the lows and the highs that come with it, and how I've (mostly) worked to come to a place where I embrace the weird and let it HELP me, rather than hold me back. Come for the story but also for the practical ideas on succeeding as a weirdo :)

When Life Takes Over Your Business: How to Keep Going
The truth of the matter is that sometimes your life takes over your business. There are lots of things you WANT and NEED to be doing to grow your business and also other things happening - and finding the balance between business and life feels like you're failing in at least one direction at all times. I get it, it's a thing here too. In this episode I'm going to talk about what I do when life takes over and needs more time and energy than I'd planned (in both the short and long term). Turns out I have a pretty simple flow that helps me to keep going on both the life and business fronts that might just help you too.

Customer Reviews
Extremely helpful!
It’s like Sara is in my head, listening to my thoughts and then making suggestions that will work for ME. She understands exactly what it’s like to move from teacher to business owner and all the hurdles that come with it. I love this podcast!
Simple but impactful
I love listening to Sara‘s podcast because the topics are relevant for a small biz owner leaving the classroom. The tips, strategies, and encouragement on the show are easy to follow, but make a huge impact in my business and my mindset. This podcast is like talking to your friend at a coffee shop and leaving feeling empowered and ready to kick butt!
Perfect for teachers turned entrepreneurs
I love this fresh take on entrepreneurship. Teachers bring so much to the table when it comes to launching businesses. This podcast rocks!
