64. [Student Pep Talk] Finding your Faith, Gifts & Friendship: Sarah's Journey from Interior Design to Non-Profit Leadership (Sam Houston State University; former Southeastern University student)
Manage episode 397159155 series 3495483
When life throws a curveball at your meticulously sketched plans, how do you pivot and catch your calling? Our latest guest, Sarah Hensley— from Sam Houston State University—did just that, trading her dreams of interior design for the leadership of two non-profit organizations. We get personal about her transformative journey, discussing the power of embracing your natural gifts, the importance of being a guiding light, and her initiative to inspire through speaking engagements and church camps.
Finding your tribe can be as important as finding your purpose. Reflecting on the value of a college education, Sarah and I delve into how it's not just about the degree but the lifelong friendships and discovering strengths within ourselves. She shares stories on how her early experiences shaped her leadership path, the essential support of communities in nurturing talents, and how Sarah's faith remained steadfast even in the face of exclusion.
Join us as we celebrate the steps of this remarkable young woman, extending the invitation to stay connected through her mission, and, as we part ways this week, I leave you with an expression of gratitude. Your support fuels our conversations, and I'm eager to hear how Sarah's story has touched your own journey—reach out, and let's keep the dialogue alive.
