Trigger Warning: This episode contains an open conversation about sexual abuse, repressed memories, and trauma. Please take care of yourself as you listen.
This is one of the most raw and real sessions we’ve had on LITerally. Sari comes in having just had a repressed memory surface, and what unfolds is a conversation about what it actually means to feel safe, why everything always makes sense when you follow it back far enough, and what it looks like to hold space for someone in the middle of something that big.
We also talk about “knowing your role” as a coach, the power of giving someone options instead of answers, and a business conversation that changes the trajectory for Sari. This one is heavy and hopeful at the same time, and it’s a reminder of why the entrepreneurship journey can be about so much more than building a business.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The sentence Sari says in the first two minutes of this session that gives me full body goosebumps
- What’s actually appropriate vs. not in your role as a coach when trauma comes up
- One of the big lessons that Sari and I both believe deeply (that is still sometimes hard to land in for yourself)
- What entrepreneurship called up in Sari that no massage, hack, or strategy ever could
- The insane clarity that surfaced for Sari that seems so obvious in hindsight
- The one thing that is EVERYTHING when it comes to forward momentum in business
