I found myself in so many details of your story. So so many: having a lot of kids in short succession, finding myself horribly overweight and swimming in the sea of negative and despairing thoughts. At my lowest point, I wanted to die. I hated who I'd become. This was in 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, and I had totally lost myself. My husband and I are still trying to repair our marriage five years later, but like you, I have taken the reigns on my healing.
Just as you heard that strong, powerful voice say, "WHAT IF YOU CAN?" I heard a voice inside me that said, "What will your life be like in five years? Don't you want to find out?" And I did. And here I am, five years later.
It feels good to be alive, and it feels good to be here with you.
I’m so glad you fought through and are still fighting though. It’s not easy and I’m so sorry you went through that. It does get better, I can promise you that. The tools I teach in this book saved my life and have been a lifeline for the past 17 years. They really do work to give your power and control Back ❤️
I’m so glad to hear that, Sarah. 17 years is a long time and a long road. But it is a testament to your character that you have invested this hard work in your personal healing and growth, and I admire that so much.
I love your style—you're so relatable. I remember a time when I didn’t just dislike my body; loving it felt impossible. I tried to change my thoughts, but there was always that voice shutting me down. My late husband loved my body, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it.
It wasn’t until I kept repeating to myself how beautiful my body is that something shifted. One day, I caught my reflection in the mirror and thought, Damn, I really do have a nice body. Compliments from others never truly sank in until I started believing and feeling it for myself.
My biggest struggle is consistency—I start working on myself, then I slack off. I know I need to stay committed, and your books are helping me do just that. They’re reigniting a fire within me, and I think it’s because of your unique style and approach.
Wow! I'm about to post Louise Hay's book 'How to heal your Life' to someone who is rock bottom. I'll buy your book because I'm going through the exact same transformation, one thought at a time. I've been rewiring my brain for just over a month and already I'm seeing the changes.
Looks like your post is all part of the serendipity that appears when we allow the universe to show us the way.
I wish you all the best of everything with this new book. I'll make a note of it.
Indeed, it already is. One of the big impacts is I have become less anxious and stressed. I say seven affirmations each morning. I write them down first and then say them out loud, expanding on each one. I am learning to do mirror work. I have your book title written down on my writing desk. Of course, a little voice says, you should have been knowing this 20-30 years ago, but I just tell myself I know it now and all the timing is right. I tell myself age is just a number ( I'm 61) and I have time left.
I love this so much, great job!! I promise you this work will pay off. Mirror work is key. I have my clients write down 25 positive. I am statements. Which is just I am followed by one word that you want to become, feel or be. An example would be I am abundant or I am successful. Then say those to yourself while looking in the mirror twice a day it helps it stick so much faster and it’s crazy how quickly that transformation will happen. ❤️
I love your writing and your breakdown of positive steps. I’m so glad you got past that low point and are sharing your way forward to help others. I work with changing people’s minds too but using hypnotherapy. It might be fun to collaborate.
Your story is so inspiring! I love how you share your vulnerable moments in order to show us that we can do it too. Before learning your techniques, I never realized how much self talk can hold a person back.
I love this so much. Feeling like I had only one way I could live and then creating and manifesting one I could barely dream of just from this habit and the work still blows my mind.
I've added a couple affirmations for tomorrow from this too!
I agree with LaParis...Sarah, you are so relatable and I know that many other women are going to have their lives changed through reading your book, hearing your stories and then, of course, doing the work. I loved that part where you shared about how when you were sitting on that bathroom floor, at the lowest point in your life, wondering how on earth you were going to provide for your gorgeous kids and you had that thought, "What if I CAN?" Using 'what if' in the positive sense, rather than the typical way people use it (what if this goes wrong, or what if that 'bad' thing happens) is such a game changer.
Yes yes yes…change your thinking and you change your world. The determination to change your thinking and your life is powerful and this post here is living proof of that!
Think it is so powerful. My thoughts are definitely more positive from using this technique. If I start to slip in to old thinking patterns I use this method to raise my mood. I've even shared it with clients at work 😊
This is so good Sarah; it’s easy to get stuck in a spiral of non sense we put in our heads. As an HBR# enthusiast deep diving into “Think It” is the perfect method to start the transformative shift.
Because it is all a, training 🥰
We are that, powerful!!! Yes we, ARE!!!
So true!
Sarah!

I totally relate to that and thank you for sharing it 💕 I used mottos to change my body beliefs too, it really does change how you feel.
What a story. Your book sounds brilliant 💫
Thank you so much Annie!

Thanh you so much! And that’s awesome I’ve done some hypnosis and totally believe in its work 🫶🏼
So excited for this new book! Perfect compliment to my other books you’ve written!
Oh thank you you so much, girl!
Your story is so inspiring! I love how you share your vulnerable moments in order to show us that we can do it too. Before learning your techniques, I never realized how much self talk can hold a person back.
Thank you so much girl ❤️❤️

I love it! You’ve seen it change your life the past few years, it really works!

Flipping those what ifs is huge! Thanks Merridy for sharing your thoughts and support ❤️🫶🏼

Awe thank you!
