Coming out of the Dark: Interview with Sarah Millan-Smyth
Manage episode 408901265 series 3561926
In this empowering episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with Soul Practitioner Sarah Millan-Smyth to explore the transformative power of resilience in the face of life's darkest moments. Sarah opens up about her own journey, starting with a life-altering injury that shifted her path for several years, followed by her daughter's own experience with an injury that ended her competitive gymnastics era.
Through candid conversation, Sarah shares how she navigated these challenges and supported her daughter through her healing process. But the journey didn't stop there. As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, Sarah's business and the lives of her clients were profoundly affected. She shifted more business online. This led to rapid growth of her practice as a sole practitioner in a short amount of time. While this was great news for her business, the extreme extra load sent her reeling into to burnout, prompting Sarah to reevaluate her coping mechanisms.
Listeners will gain valuable insights as Sarah discusses her initial struggles with unhealthy coping methods (i.e. vodka) and how she ultimately found solace in activities like walking and pilates, as well as seeking guidance from experts and coaches. Her story uncovers hope for anyone facing their own rough patch, reminding us that with time, support, and self-care, we can emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Tune in to this episode for a dose of inspiration and practical strategies to navigate life's challenges with grace and perseverance. If you or someone you know is experiencing a difficult time, Sarah's insights are sure to guide you toward the light at the end of the tunnel.
