Few things can shatter our hearts like expectations. Sarah expected to live happily ever after. She expected her husband to honor his vows. She expected his military helicopter to land safely. But when the unimaginable occurred and her world unraveled so magnificently, the undoing of her expectations left her on her knees, fighting for her life. When everything we “expect” crumbles like ash after a fire, how do we reconcile what was lost?

One courageous step at a time.

Sarah packed her car, then set out to hike and camp across the country. But pain, codependence, and trauma challenged her as she moved forward. From a sailboat to a yoga studio, a therapist’s couch to a shaman’s ceremony, from selling everything and moving into a van—on the ashes of her former expectations, Sarah rebuilt, from the inside out.

She Journeys is a testament to the transformative power of healing. From darkness to light, from a marriage ended to a life reclaimed, we are reminded that it never matters how we begin. Only that we do. From wounds to wisdom, She is every woman who must find her way from heartbreak to homecoming.

For the last four years, I’ve poured my heart and healing into this project. Seeing it come to life has been nothing short of a dream come true. It can be deeply validating to see ourselves in the stories of others. To think “me too”, to know that we are not alone. Pain can be isolating, lonely, it can feel like we’re walking a path no one else has ever walked. But the truth is that suffering is universal, and not only do we not have to walk alone, there have been so many brave, bold trailblazers ahead of us. Stories can help us find our way, speak to our hearts, and be medicine for our wounds. My deepest prayer is that my book can be that for someone. If you’ve ever had to rebuild after ruin, there is always hope. I am honored to share my story with you. Thank you for supporting this dream. – S
