After leaving a career in corporate healthcare in 2016, Sarah set out to find work that better aligned with her passion and purpose. As co-owner of Black Pearl Coaching and Consulting, she served as a consultant to small businesses and nonprofits. Through this work, she accepted a position as the inaugural Executive Director with Lead(h)er, a nonprofit that connects women with mentors to fuel career and community engagement - a position she still holds to this day. In 2018, Sarah launched The Beautifull Project, an entrepreneurial effort that combined her past professional experience with her commitment to pursuing purposeful work. Using the power of collective storytelling, The Project invites women back to their bodies, encouraging, and supporting them as they learn to use their voice and take up space. When Sarah is not thinking up big ideas for The Project, she is shamelessly momming 3 teens, writing, reading, teaching yoga, and leaning as far as possible into an honest, authentic life.\nListen in to hear Sarah share:\n\nHer experience growing up in a body she deemed to be \u201ctoo big and too much\u201d\n\nHer history of body image battles and disordered eating\n\nHow her Beautifull Project was born out of the moment her doctor prescribed her speed and a 600 calorie a day diet for weight loss\n\nWhy \u201cbeing concerned\u201d for a fat person\u2019s health is a discriminatory crutch\n\nHow she\u2019s embracing living in a fat body\n\nHow to talk to your kids about fatness and fat as a neutral descriptor\n\nWhy thin people must be allies for fat people if we want to create space for all women to live safely in their bodies and in their power\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nConnect with Sarah\n\nFacebook: The Beautifull Project\n\n\nInstagram: @thebeautifullproject and @seeing_sarah\n\n\nThe TED talk\n\n Podcast: Beauti: The Interviews\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\nEmbr: Go to Embr and Save $50 with code SHAMELESS at checkout.\n\n\nGrove Collaborative: For a limited time, my listeners get a free 5-piece cleaning set from Mrs. Meyer\u2019s and Grove - a $30 value!
