In this episode of The Energized Life podcast, we tackle one of the most underrated — yet powerful — elements of lasting health: mindset. While many of us focus on diet, exercise, supplements, or sleep, the story we tell ourselves about what’s possible can either fuel transformation or block it entirely.

We explore how your internal beliefs, assumptions, and narratives shape your ability to make sustainable changes. You’ll hear:

• Why mindset is often the missing piece in health journeys
• How negative self-talk, fear of failure, perfectionism, and limiting beliefs show up in wellness goals
• Real-life examples and stories of how a shift in mindset unlocked better habits
• Practical mental tools and strategies to reframe your inner narrative
• How to spot the stories you tell yourself that hold you back
• Ways to build a “growth mindset” around nutrition, movement, rest, and hormonal health
• Small mindset practices you can begin using today to support your goals

If you’ve ever felt frustrated because you “did everything right” but still didn’t see results, or found yourself slipping back into old habits despite your best intentions — this conversation is for you. Mindset isn’t just a nice “extra”; it’s the foundation under every health goal.

Join us for this deep dive into how shifting what’s in your head can shift what happens in your body — and help you take steps toward sustainable transformation.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Clarity about why mindset is essential, not optional
• A new lens for identifying limiting beliefs that may be sabotaging you
• Practical mindset tools (reframing, self-talk, challenge/reward, identity work)
• Actionable next steps to shift thoughts, beliefs, and internal narratives
• Empowerment to lean into growth, not perfection

We believe your health is so much more than calories and workouts — it’s about aligning your inner world with your outer goals.

Tune in, lean in, and let’s get curious about what your mind might have to teach you.

In this episode, it’s Sarah’s turn in the spotlight! As co-host of The Energized Life Podcast and founder of Simply Well Nourished, Sarah has built her career around helping women find freedom, balance, and energy in their daily lives. But before coaching others, she had to navigate her own struggles.

Sarah opens up about her journey from disordered eating and “all-or-nothing” health habits to a more grounded, joyful, and sustainable approach. She shares how burnout, confusing nutrition advice, and frustrating health symptoms eventually led her to functional nutrition, mindset work, and a deep desire to make health simpler and more aligned with real life.

In this conversation, Sarah gets real about:

• What it was like to wrestle with food rules, body image, and perfectionism
• The turning points that helped her shift from chasing quick fixes to focusing on energy, blood sugar balance, and holistic health
• How her values — freedom, simplicity, growth, integrity, and joy — guide both her life and her coaching
• Why she created The Energy Reset program and what she hopes women gain from it
• The importance of mindset, identity, and values in creating lasting change

You’ll also get a glimpse of Sarah outside of coaching — the small joys, family rhythms, and mindset practices that keep her steady and inspired.

This is more than an introduction to Sarah; it’s an invitation into the heart of her mission: helping women feel at home in their body, reclaim steady energy, and create a vibrant life without falling into the trap of quick fixes or perfectionism.

What you’ll take away from this episode:

• Sarah’s honest and relatable health journey
• The values that shape her work and coaching approach
• Why quick fixes don’t work — and what does
• How shifting mindset and habits can transform energy and health
• Inspiration to reflect on your own relationship with health and values

Whether you’re just getting to know Sarah or have been following her work for a while, this conversation will give you a deeper sense of her story, her “why,” and the vision behind The Energized Life Podcast.
