10 Harmful Creative Myths Ebook
In this free 50-page ebook, I dive into the harmful lies we’ve been told about creativity — and take a look at the truths we need to move forward and create our best work.
Speaking
I’m an energetic, passionate, and empowering national speaker with relatable warmth, a unique perspective, and a sense of humor. In addition to a TEDx talk, I’ve spoken at New York Comic Con, Podcast Movement, YouTube headquarters, DC Podfest, and the Austin Film Festival, as well as many local and national leadership seminars, business and tech conferences, and college classrooms.
“Listening to Sarah is like a great session with your therapist who says all the right things to get you back in the chair and writing.”

Over the years, this has become my #1 piece of writing advice…
The One Million Mark
You may have heard that there are now over 1,000,000 podcasts in Apple Podcasts. As a creator, one million can sound pretty intimidating — until you realize that…
A Fresh Batch
Do you record podcast episodes in batches? Batching (recording a batch of episodes all at once) is something that, despite my best intentions, I’ve never been able to get a handle on. Here’s why.

Writer’s Block
There’s a lot going on when we talk about writer’s block, and I think that overcoming it starts with understanding why it’s there in the first place. For me, my writer’s block always starts with…
5 Unexpected Lessons I Learned From Podcasting
I’ve been podcasting for many years now, and I’ve learned a LOT along the way. Several things I sort of anticipated or expected (like, you’ll get better at podcasting the more you do it) — but there were a couple things that really blindsided me. I’m…
The Comfort Zone
Let’s talk about comfort — as in your comfort zone. I love comfort. Loooooove it. Being safe and cozy and warm is pretty much my favorite thing in the world. (Especially if I have a book and a cup of tea!) But…

Not Even The Same Sport
What does “success” mean for your creative project — whether it’s a book, podcast, poetry chapbook, or something else entirely? Well, I’ve got a secret…
Stop Acting So Small.
One of our biggest roadblocks as creators is this notion that we are not WHOLE. That we are missing something that everyone around us seems to have. That we are NOT, in some way, “enough.” This. Is. A. Lie.
Is A Podcast Right For Me?
Is a podcast right for me? And how do I know when I’m ready to start one? This post will clear your questions right up.
What Are You Waiting For?
I had the idea for my first podcast, Write Now, way back in early 2014. But I didn’t launch the first episode until 2015. I sat on that idea for a whole YEAR because… well, I was afraid.
Comparison & Enough
This time last year, I was giving my very first TEDx talk. It was without a doubt the most difficult thing I had ever done. To this day, it still is. I was a seasoned national speaker when I applied…
