She digs into her faith, her relationships, and herself to grow, and she’s known for challenging herself with life-experiments to make personal progress. Sarah continues to work part-time as an Executive Assistant, and on any given day, you’ll find her wearing many hats. Wife, mother, professional, personal chef, housekeeper, and - when she carves out that golden margin - she loves to write about her exploration of what makes life rich, meaningful, and worth living. She lives with her husband and two boys (with another sweet baby on the way) just north of Toronto.
