Hi, I’m Sarah Jenks, and I
used to be a

People Pleaser

I had everything a woman is “supposed to want”…

Handsome Doctor Husband, cute curly-haired kids, and me with a flashy Instagram feed and successful business.

But on the inside I was depressed, overwhelmed, and deeply unhappy.

I spent years blindly following the rules of success without ever considering if I was happy…

I sidelined my mental health and emotional needs to support the dreams of my husband…
I prioritized making money over being on purpose…
I almost gave up on all my dreams when my kids were born…

I did what I was “supposed” to do, without complaining because I believed that wanting more was selfish, and I should just stop complaining and be happy with what I have. Until I realized an important truth:

Women are here to do more than support other people.

You were born to be the star of your own life, not the stage crew for everyone else.

But the world we live in…

thrives off of you not knowing this truth and we are brainwashed to believe that…

Wanting more means you’re ungrateful
Your worth is based on how much you do (for others, around the house, at work)
Asking for help means you’re weak
Doing something just for you is selfish

Because then people can ask us to do whatever they want and we’ll smile and nod and take it like a woman because creating any sort of conflict sends us into a freeze state.  But when women don’t have the space or energy to contribute ideas, art, change, innovation, leadership to the world, the world suffers.

“I finally said “enough!”

I started doing whatever *I* wanted.

I parented how I wanted, went where I wanted to go, got the help I wanted, owned my magic, wore what I wanted to wear, created the business that was fun and inspiring to run, made the money I wanted to make, and took care of my body the way I wanted.  I stopped focusing on surviving and started focusing on Thriving.

And I created online coaching programs and communities to support women in forgetting who the world wants them to be, remembering who they are meant to be and giving them permission to act on it.

And we are actually changing the way women see themselves and what they deserve in this life.

Our community is now 100,000 strong and the world is starting to take notice
