Episode Synopsis

In this candid solo episode, Sarah takes you inside her brain for an unfiltered reflection on two powerful life lessons she's been processing. First, she explores how some of life's biggest disappointments, from failed business partnerships to missed opportunities, often become our greatest blessings in disguise. Through personal stories about fitness studio collaborations that fell through and teaching positions she didn't get, Sarah reveals how these "failures" forced her to fully commit to building MindBodyBehavior. Then, she challenges the common excuse of "it's not the right time" or "I'm not ready," asking for an operational definition of what the "right time" actually looks like. If you've been waiting for perfect conditions to make a change, start something new, or take a risk, this episode will make you reconsider whether that perfect moment will ever actually arrive.Resources MentionedBarre teaching certifications and fitness studio experienceLagree Studio classes and instructor auditionsMindBodyBehavior business developmentKnitting classes as a postpartum hobby exampleRecent MindBodyBehavior masterclassQuotes from This Episode"Sometimes when things don't work out, they really, really work out.""I needed to rip that safety net off so I could truly have that moment of, like, no, I don't need that safety net, because I could build this business.""When you say, I'm not ready, or it's not the right time, I'm gonna need an operational definition of that, because truly, in life, it's never gonna be the right time to do something different.""If you can't clearly define what that is, you might want to do some reflecting, because if you don't, you're just going to get stuck in this day-to-day of going through the motions.""There's never gonna be a right time. It's going to be - I'm gonna make the decision to do X, Y, or Z, and then I'm gonna do it.""Not making a decision is making a decision, and I need to think about what I want, think about the scenario, not saying to just rush and make rash decisions, but we need to stop over-analyzing everything.""If you're gonna commit to something, just commit, right? Like, say, I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna go all-in with 100%."Connect  with MBBBecome a Board Certified Health Coach:⁠https://mindbodybehavior.co/board-certified-health-coach⁠Mind Body Behavior 6th Edition Supervision Curriculum:⁠https://mindbodybehavior.co/curriculum⁠FREE CEUS: 32 CEU Board Approved Health Coaching Program:⁠ https://mindbodybehavior.podia.com/boardhealthcoach⁠BCBA Supervision Program Outside ASD:⁠ ⁠⁠https://mindbodybehavior.podia.com/bcbasupervision⁠ Email: [email protected] Social Media: @sarahburby @mindbodybehavioranalysts Love the show?
