This cup of coffee is coming far too late, but it was not forgotten. Sara was immensely helpful when I designed my new Webflow site last year, even going above and beyond to help me when I panicked because of a mistake I made while she was on vacation. She took time away from her holiday to help me, and I'll never forget that. I'd definitely recommend her services in the future. 🤓😎😊

What's it all about?

I started Talks with SaraNoSocks with one goal in mind: share other's stories! We all hear the "overnight success" stories, but there is a huge piece of the puzzle they're leaving out! What happened before you hit it big? Surely failure is a part of your journey! Hear what it's like to try and fail. These are open and honest discussions around the failure we all experience, but we're too afraid to share. My goal, to expose the "sticky middle", show you everyone fails and you can turn that into success.

Ep 77: Let's talk about happiness

This week is a heavier topic, happiness.  Are you happy is a loaded question with lots of tiny facets.  I'm breaking it all down this week and what happened once I realized that I wasn't happy trying to monetize my new skills.  I thought I had to reinvent myself to become a successful creator but what I really need to do was lean further into what I am naturally good at.

Ep 47: Scheduling rest is essential

This week I am focusing on how to rest.  Getting rest is essential. We have to celebrate rest. Rest is just as important as working hard, if not more. Rest allows us to create great work without destroying ourselves in the process. I've had a lot of problems with getting rest in my past. I used to stay up and work late into the night so much that I was actually hurting my ability to do good work. How do you prioritize rest?
