Unwanted Identity
Stop defending an identity you don't want.
Procrastinator, multi-tasker, scatter brained, failure...all stories I CONTINUED telling myself until I realized, .."WHY AM I CHOOSING THIS IDENTITY!?!?!?"
I chose a new path and EVERYTHING changed.
I recently started setting an alarm again. Yes, I work for myself but I was not giving enough time to myself because I was rushing trying to get what I needed done before I met virtually with my clients and Coaches. My mindset was NOT right and I KNEW that. So I took note... I realized I HAD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
I set my alarm for 3 hours earlier and I now have the time for personal growth, earlier workout and work time so I have MORE time with family and friends and ENJOYING life.(along with earlier bed time).
I'm sharing this because there's hope. Your story is NOT over. You make thousands of decisions everyday. Write them down and take note of what sets you on the path towards your goals and write down also what doesn't.
When you see patterns you see what could improve and you now can take better action steps each day.
Take responsibility. Again, β STOP defending an identity you don't want. We are better than what we give credit to. We are powerful beautiful beings. Identify with your highest self and you WILL help yourself and help others more. π
Carol!
Last night one my closest friends Carol (as seen hereπ€£π) said....."someday you will never have to stay in a hotel again!!" Meaning These road trips I take there's often times I reach out and ask to crash with friends and MOST times it's because I'm staying with Fellow Coaches who I only know because I put fear aside and asked them to Coach WITH ME! π
But seriously, it's freakin crazy to think what my life would be like with out having met and grew to love this team if it hadn't been for Coaching.
So just fyi ....if me, or Carol here invite you to join Our TEAM SWEAT or HealthYOUniversity it's because we KNOW it could change your life like it has for us. And seriously. This is the best life I thought I could have never have.
Thanks Carol! I love building this biz with you....but even more I LOVE our friendship. Love you beautiful π

Thank You
I'd like to take this moment to say thank you.
Thank you for supporting me and my crazy dreams.
Thank you for every like comment and share.
Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to share my story with you.
Without you, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. And because of you I want to become the BEST Coach, instructor and friend to you.
I know there will be days where I fall short so thank you for your time and patience and thank you for forgiving me as I figure this out.
Thank you for allowing me to grow through our messages back and forth. And thank you for telling me what you need.
Every zoom call, every message and every meet up I am reminded that this type of lifestyle and opportunity is worth every ignored message and every vulnerable post.
Thanks for reminding me that our friendship is a LONG lasting one. And I'm so grateful to have you in my life. I love you friend. πππ
The choices you make, determine the path you take. And just because you failed and quit before doesn't mean there's no hope for a better future.
I had spent over $400 in hopes that an online business would be the prayer to my answers...2 months in and $800 GONE, I made the decision to quit and go with my gut. I spent $140 to sign up with THIS business. It aligned with EVERYTHING I had been looking for.....and 6 years later I am so grateful for choosing this path. Free doesn't even begin to describe it.
All this to say...yes I've failed in the past, but my future wasn't destined to keep failing. I showed up, stubborn and impatient, and FULL OF FEAR I WOULD FAIL AGAIN.... but somehow a small voice inside told me to GO FOR IT and KEEP GOING...
If you feel that push or pull for something more then I encourage you to go for it too. Life is full of choices. You don't have to have it all figured out, you just have to be willing to try and fail forward.
If you are looking for a way to help your friends and family become healthier, while making a side to FT income & you are curious about what I do, then fill out my Become An Online Coach form & I will teach you exactly how. I want you to feel this freedom too, but you gotta want it for yourself MORE than wanting to stay where you are at.
YES, this is work. This is passion. This is purpose. And together we are punching that fear in the face EVERYDAY. #healthyandwealthycoaching #sweatwithsarah #thesweatlifewithsarah
No Shortcuts
Friends, there's no shortcuts to life. I don't have confidence bc one day I decided to have it. This journey was a long strenuous one full of heart ache from divorced families, toxic relationships, eating disorders & panic attacks. I know some people look at me and think this is easy. But it's NOT. I HAD TO FIGHT TO BE WHERE I AM.....and I'm freaking proud to say....I'M NOT QUITTING ON MYSELF...EVER AGAIN.
And no, I don't so this for my body. The results are a by-product. Instead I do this for my mindset....to prove to MYSELF that I am the type of person who is true to their word. If I say I CAN'T do something I have to really think..."am I really NOT CAPABLE or am I just saying "I don't want to" ππ½ββοΈ What's the REAL truth here?
So, I ask myself....
"Is this something to better my situation or worsen it?" And if it's going to benefit me then WHY am I choosing to NOT do this?
I am the ONLY one in control of my decisions and I will not blame others or situations.
No one is coming to save me and tell me(or make me) do this. I am an adult...so why act like I'm expecting a parent to come do this for me?
I have 2 choices...either fight for excuses and stay stuck or I will use those excuses to push harder....because if I don't my life will become harder day after day...and that's the facts.
So I urge you to ask yourself....
"Am I choosing wisely in THIS MOMENT right NOW....or am I looking for the easy way out? ....and "in what way can I take better care of me?
And go do it.
You will create MORE energy to create a happier healthier and more loving life. And yes. That's always worth it. Because YOU are always worth it. π
Take the Leap
"Iβm tired of reading about the achievements of better men."....a quote Samwell Tarly said from GOT. ..every now and then that quote sticks out to me because that was SO ME.
I was so sick and tired of seeing othersβ accomplishments because it made ME feel guilty for not accomplishing those same things. Until it hit me...."maybe THEY have something to teach me...if I'm open enough to learning....maybe my story would be different."
6 years ago I jumped into Online Coaching with hopes that I would someday be EXACTLY where I am today.
There are BIG decisions followed by BIG moments in your life that only happen because YOU JUMPED IN & you did NOT let one more day go by....you decided your story towards a better life begins NOW.
Take the leap, learn from mistakes, fall in love with who you are and who you are becoming. Life is truly beautiful when you realize you DO have what it takes....so show up babe. You are SO SO worth it. And if you need guidance with health, finances and mindset...I'm here to pay it forward just like my mentors taught me. π
July 21st
JULY 21ST is a happy day for us.π
Yup, first date in June 2007, July 21st he proposed (see picsππΌ) and October we were married.(2007)
Some people call that cray, but to me it's called REAL love. We both came from childhoods where miscommunication was the norm so for us, we NEEDED something different and we don't believe in our past telling our future. To us, we believe in the PRESENT DAY and we know that to stay in love we choose it and show it through our actions.
We never assume the other is going to do something because we expect it. Instead, we treat each other the way we want to be loved...and not in just one love language....ALL.OF.THEM.
Of course we have had a few arguments bc life isn't all rainbows and unicorn poop ππ¦π© But we choose to talk through the struggles and make sure we are both heard and loved through it rather than let resentment and blame become our marriage.
We play games together. We support each others dreams. We chat over coffee. We forgive easily and NEVER put each other down, to ourselves or in front others.
I share that to say, marriage can & should be be amazing. Just talk about what you need and be the bestest friend they could ask for.
There's a few things I'm truly proud of in my life and my marriage to Eddie is at the top of that list. Love you Ed Placencia π and always will π
