From Survival to Soulwork (interview with Brandon Marshall)
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
Born into trauma and raised between two worlds, Brandon Marshall spent over a decade cycling through juvenile halls, jails, and prisons before a single line in a book changed everything. What began as survival turned into a mission of education, awareness, and art. In this conversation, Sara and Brandon explore the intersections of trauma, healing, identity, and creative rebirth...how self-education became his lifeline, how forgiveness freed his spirit, and why he believes true change begins with awareness, love, and learning.

Between Vision and Reality: The Weight of Open Loops
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
In this solo transmission, I pull the curtain all the way back, pausing a scheduled guest episode to honor resistance instead.

From relocating across continents to rebuilding identity, from “lightning-speed” standards to nights of frustration, this is an honest look at the season where nothing is wrong...but nothing feels finished. If you’re closing chapters, recalibrating your...

When Ease Feels Dangerous: Rewriting the Addiction to Performance
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
Not everything we carry from a past chapter is meant to come with us. For years, I thought I had let go of the athlete identity. Until the metrics came back—numbers, performance, “proof” of worth. And suddenly, I was measuring my business, my joy, my intuition… against KPIs. In this latest episode of Make Your Life Your Legacy, I share what it means to walk the spiral staircase of reinvention—and how the same fears will meet us again, just from a new vantage point. If you're evolving into something new—especially after a career marked by high performance—this one’s for you. ...

Fight or Freeze: Holding steady when the rug is pulled from underneath you
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
I received some devastating news the other day. The type that knocks the wind out of you while pressing all the "money, safety, and security" buttons. And the timing was almost ironic...because I felt it coming. I had already begun preparing. Not out of fear, but out of deep knowing. This is not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough disguised as an ending. So here I am, walking the talk. No performance, no pretending: I’m mid-activation. High-end, high-frequency contracts are already landing through the ethers. This next chapter isn’t a leap of faith—it’s a precision...

Demystifying & Dissolving Tiredness, Fear, Overwhelm, Resistance (Episode 52)
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
Tired. Scared. Overwhelmed. Resistant. I hated to admit it, but these stopped me in my tracks. A lot! And not because I lacked motivation. On the contrary... ...I had vision, strategy, and a to-do list that would make a CEO sweat. But every time I sat down to do the "big, important, mountain-moving" thing, one of those emotions would show up. And for a while, I thought something was wrong with me. Took some deep work to realize they were rather the invitation... Just recently, I felt them all when I told myself, "It's time to record a new podcast episode, c'mon, think of something. You...

The Portal Between Dualities: Your Soul & Service… But Still Have Bills to Pay (Episode 51)
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
It's been a hot minute since my last Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast episode in 12/2023... because life happened. In a big way! Then came this unscripted 39-minute transmission. In it, I speak to the space so many of us are navigating: the tension between soul-aligned service and real-life responsibilities. If you’ve been holding it all (the vision, the fear, the brilliance, the exhaustion), this is for you. Inside, I share the thoughts & experiences we rarely say out loud; the strategy most don’t talk about; and the courage it takes to leap when your body is tired but your soul is...

If you're yearning more spaciousness and time, this one is for you
Make Your Life Your Legacy Podcast
Are you feeling fragmented, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, stuck in busyness? Sensing a change coming? Navigating life-altering decisions, but feeling emotionally split about what you want? Breaking generational patterns to build out something in a new & meaningful way, in your own rhythm, on your own terms? If you answered YES to the above questions, then you have come to the right place. Truth is, there are no roadmaps to who you are becoming. Experiencing the simplified and harmonized life you only dream about, the one where you wake up energized and raring to go, has little to do with...

If you’re closing chapters, recalibrating your environment, or holding a bigger future than your current results, this conversation offers permission, clarity, and a steadier heartbeat for the road ahead.
