I help senior women in tech fall back in love with their careers.

💌 Feeling a tiny bit stuck? OR a lot? I get it.

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

I’ve been a little nostalgic lately.
Humor me for a sec?

I remember the exact moment I realized I couldn’t keep putting my career on autopilot.

I was 8 years into tech as a senior engineer.
​

Drained from back-to-back meetings.
Numb from endless LinkedIn scrolling (cue the doom scrolling).
Worn out from pretending I was fine when I wasn’t.

Work crept into everything.
I found myself checking Slack constantly, even while at dinner with friends. Worrying about what the next ping was going to be about.

Maybe you know that feeling, too.

That’s when I realized, blurry eyed from staring at my screen and totally disconnected from the group convo.

​
I don’t want to live like this.
I want to feel excited again. Creative again. Alive again.

Now, it didn’t happen overnight.

​
But it started with one step:

👉 Choosing to be proactive instead of staying stuck in “what if.”

That’s exactly why I’m inviting you to join me for a free, live experience:

The Career Clarity Challenge

🗓️ May 6–8 | 🕒 12pm PT / 3pm ET | 📍 the wild world of Zoom​
​
In just 3 reflective + informative sessions, you'll:

→ Reconnect with what lights you up through a guided reinvention journaling workshop
→ Design small, low-risk experiments to test new directions (instead of guessing your way forward)
→ Learn the 5 most common mistakes people make when pivoting—and what to do instead
→ Get an inside look at what coaching feels like (no pressure, just support)

​

This Challenge is for mid-senior women and non-binary folks in tech who are ready to stop overthinking and start making moves, even in an uncertain world.

It’s free. It’s live. It’s based on connection and community. With a pop-up Slack group that last year, had over 76 women join in and form friendships + collaborations.

Last time I ran a challenge, Blanca, an incredible senior engineer, said:

Messy thoughts, big questions, half-formed ideas. Come, come!

We start May 6. I’d love to see you there.

To more breathing room,
Sarah

HI friend, You know what I’ve realized? Since I started using AI, it has actually cost me thousands of dollars. Not because it broke anything. Not because it gave me bad ideas. But because it slowly stripped the joy out of how I work. And that joy? It turns out it was the fuel. For my creativity. For my momentum. And, for my revenue. For context - I run a coaching and consulting business for women and non-binary folks in tech. A big part of how I connect with future clients is by sharing...

“We did it, sister!” Brené Brown says, excitedly high-fiving me. She comes over with her paddle, and we do a celebratory tap with our eternal nemesis— ahem, I mean, our friendly, recreational pickleball opponents. This, my friend, is not the recounting of a fever dream. It’s a story about how I met THE Brené Brown at pickleball last week. photo credit: Brené’s instagram. the woman loves pickleball I was in my fourth hour of playing when, post-match, a sunny-dispositioned woman comes up to me....

I've spent the last couple months house-sitting in Honolulu. And part of my task was to keep a couple of plants alive. Succulents, specifically. Which should be easy enough, right? "Can you take care of a few plants?" my friend asked."Yes, of course," I said. "With a doubt." Because how hard could it be. Succulents.Low-maintenance. Thrive in neglect. The chillest of houseplants. But I fussed over it.“I’ll water it now just in case I forget later.”“This sun is intense - better top it off.” “If...
