Hi! I'm Sarah

Mindset & Midlife-style Coach For Women

After being a classroom teacher for 20 years, I realized that my true calling was to help empower women create & live their best life. I help them to see they're worthy and enough just as they are, no matter their size! I have always been plus-size and now know my self-image and thoughts narrowed my life, so in 2019, I started a plus-size lifestyle blog for women over 40 called lifeshinesbig.com.

While writing for my website Lifeshinesbig, I came to realize that I was living a small life because of my bigger size.  After doing a LOT of work on my mindset and limiting beliefs, I now enjoy a bigger, fuller life and want to show other women they can do the same.  Every woman should never live a life she settles for, instead she should embrace a life that SHINES!

For years I was not in a good place I felt bad about myself and that spilled over into my job, marriage and how I took care of myself. I was lacking joy and contentment in all things that made me, me! So I changed my outlook and began to embark on making my life into one of which I was proud. I started with small changes that quickly became routine.  Through this site I want you to share my journey as I strive to become healthier, happier, and most of all, expand my world.

Follow along as I share the tips and tricks that will help you as I help myself! I would love to get to know you through your comments and questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]

Now I help women not to settle for a tiny life because of their shape, size or age!  When you work with me we design a life you love, work on busting self-defeating beliefs, change the habits, patterns and behaviors that are not working for you and embrace who you are...in the body you have!
