What if the moments that seem most uncertain are actually the moments that shape your life?

In this inspiring conversation, Sari sits down with Max Gloeckner, entrepreneur, global speaker, community builder, and explorer of consciousness, to discuss a life guided not by rigid plans but by intuition, curiosity, and the courage to follow what calls you forward.

At twenty years old, Max made a decision that would alter the course of his life forever. He walked away from the path he was expected to follow, bought a one-way ticket to Australia, and stepped into complete uncertainty. What followed was a journey through iron ore mines in the Australian desert, entrepreneurship in Bangkok, global travel, and ultimately a deeper exploration of consciousness, frequency, and human potential.

In this episode, Max shares:

• Why challenges can become opportunities for growth
• Growing up feeling confined by traditional systems
• Lessons learned from being the "misfit" in school
• The unexpected gifts that came from his parents' divorce
• Why he joined the military and what it taught him
• The courage required to leave certainty behind
• Trusting intuition when logic cannot explain the next step
• The relationship between uncertainty and possibility
• Reinvention as a key component of success
• Why an open mind may be life's greatest asset
• Discovering Telos and the concept of soul mapping
• Following curiosity as a pathway to purpose

One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is that uncertainty is not something to fear—it is often where the magic begins.

If you've ever felt called toward something you couldn't explain, questioned whether the conventional path was right for you, or wondered how to trust yourself more deeply, this episode is for you.

Sometimes the next step isn't visible.

Sometimes you simply feel the pull.

And sometimes that's enough.

Listen now and discover what can happen when you trust the journey before you can see the destination..

We often think our words simply describe our reality. Neuroscience suggests something deeper: our words help shape what we notice, expect, and experience.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why your brain is constantly listening to your language
• The role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS)
• How neuroplasticity strengthens repeated thoughts
• The connection between self-talk and stress
• The language parents pass to children
• How leaders create culture through words
• The hidden scripts many men, women, and teens carry
• Practical ways to become more intentional with your language

Key Takeaway

Your words are not magic. They are instructions. Your brain uses them to decide what matters, what to notice, and who you believe yourself to be.

The Plan Changed. The Dream Didn't.

What if being "off track" is actually part of the path?

For years, we've been taught that success comes from setting goals, creating plans, tracking progress, and staying disciplined enough to reach the destination.

But what happens when life presents an opportunity that wasn't part of the plan?

In this episode of Just Count Me In, Sari shares the deeply personal story of how a dream of relocating to South Carolina unfolded in a way she never could have predicted. What started as a clear goal and timeline transformed into something far better than the original plan.

Along the way, she explores:

• Why our brains crave structure and certainty

• The neuroscience behind goal-setting and planning

• The difference between having direction and becoming attached to a specific route

• The dangers of having no structure at all

• The hidden cost of becoming married to a plan

• How intuition and action work together

• Why "being off track" may actually be life's redirection

• What this means for students choosing careers, adults seeking change, and business owners pursuing growth

Most importantly, you'll learn how to hold a vision while remaining open to possibilities you could never have planned.

Reflection Questions

• What feeling are you truly seeking beneath your goals?
• Where might you be forcing a plan that no longer fits?
• What standards do you want to live by regardless of the outcome?
• What opportunities might be waiting beyond your current timeline?
• What if you're not off track at all?

Key Takeaway

The dream didn't change.

The vision didn't change.

The feeling didn't change.

Only the path changed.
