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.”
