20:28

Sara shares her recent own inspiring Start Over and Rise journey of transformation, having shed a staggering 17.2 kilos, almost three stone, over the last 3 months. With a fresh perspective on health, she proudly announces that she has come off blood pressure tablets after a decade, and her cholesterol and blood glucose levels have significantly improved. This episode is not just about weight loss; it’s about a holistic approach to reinventing oneself, particularly for those navigating midlife challenges. Sara introduces her five-step method, designed to help anyone feeling stuck—whether in weight, career, or personal life—find a path to renewal. This is what has to come first! Diving into her five steps, Sara emphasises the importance of commitment to change and a fresh start. First up is ‘Stop the Noise’, where she discusses eliminating negativity and self-sabotage to create mental clarity. This sets the stage for the second step, ‘Sort the Crap’, which focuses on decluttering one’s emotional and mental space to foster clarity and patience. By the time listeners reach the third step, ‘Vision’, they are equipped to define their aspirations and what they truly want out of life. As she leads us through ‘Shift’—the fourth step—Sara highlights the importance of actionable steps tailored to individual needs, and finally, she encourages us to ‘Soar’ into our new identities, free from past limitations. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, start a new business, or make a life change, Sara’s method serves as a flexible framework that can be adapted to any area of life. Her infectious enthusiasm and personal stories invite listeners to reflect on their journeys and remind them that it’s never too late to make a change and rise to meet their best selves. Sara wraps up with an invitation to join her 'Start Over and Rise' programme, offering a supportive community and tools for those ready to embark on their own transformational journeys. If you’re feeling like it’s time to shake things up, this episode might just be the spark you need!
