Episode 289: You're Working Really Hard But Are You Working Towards What You Really Want? With Sarah Harris

Aug 14

Ever find yourself hustling hard, checking all the right boxes, and still feeling unfulfilled?

Sarah Harris’s life seemed picture-perfect on paper: two advanced degrees, a family, and a high-paying 9-to-5 – but ditching alcohol in her 30’s cracked her wide open to the truth that alignment was missing.

In this episode, Sarah shares the story of her spiritual awakening and her journey to becoming an NLP practitioner, human design expert, alcohol-free empowerment coach, and success coach, helping women unlock their authentic blueprint, align with their higher purpose, and create a life that feels fulfilled AF.

We dive into why 30% of the population is actually NOT built for the traditional 9-to-5, the myths we’ve been fed about hard work, and how to work with your energy instead of grinding against it.

Sarah is also an alum of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program and her transformation is proof of what’s possible. Want to be next? Applications are open NOW for our fall cohort and our early bird savings are available until Aug 31.

REFLECTION QUESTION

Reflect on the societal and personal expectations you’ve been striving for — are they genuinely yours, or inherited from somewhere else?

“Society puts this pressure on life looking like a very specific way for everyone across the board. And one of the things I love about human design, we each get a permission slip to do it our way, to do it in a way that's more natural for us. For some of us, we haven't been shown another path. I think it is valuable and important to see people who do achieve success, who do achieve really good financial freedom without doing it in the traditional ways.” - Sarah Harris

“With human design, when you pull your chart and you have this list of things about you, about your energy, it really can offer you tools and strategies that may go against what you've been doing. For a lot of us, we're taught one way, and in human design, we learn everyone's different and unique, and there isn't actually like one way for everyone to operate.” - Sarah Harris
