About Sara Corell -

Sara Correll is a wife, mom of four boys, and proud grandma to two little ones. With a Master's in Crisis Response and Trauma Counseling for Veterans and First Responders, a coaching certification, and time spent as a drug & alcohol counselor to addicted homeless and convicted felons, she's walked alongside Veterans, First Responders, homeless men, and convicted felons given a second chance as they faced some of life's hardest moments.

What she kept noticing was simple but profound: when people finally tell their stories in a safe community, healing begins. That belief led Sara to found The Power of Our Story—warm, hope-filled "Coffee & Conversation" groups for Veterans, First Responders, and Gold Star families. Sara's heart is to remind every guest (and every listener): your story matters, you are not alone, and there is still light ahead.
