What if the job everyone else envied—the one with the glamorous perks, the big paycheck, and the impressive title—was actually the very thing keeping you trapped? For years, Sara Vezenšek lived that life as a private chef and yacht representative, only to realize that the cost of success was her freedom, her energy, and her sense of purpose. Instead of settling, she made a bold decision: to walk away from the “dream job” and create a business that was built around her life, not the other way around.In this episode of the Women Thrive, Sara reveals how she transformed her expertise and experiences into a thriving online coaching business that empowers women to build profitable courses from their own unique skills and stories.

Press play, take notes, and get ready to create the life and impact you were meant for.✨ About the Guest ✨Sara Vezenšek walked away from a life most people would dream of. She grew up in Slovenia, a place where the luxury yacht world wasn’t even something people believed was real outside of movies. But by her early 20s, she was living it: working as a private chef on superyachts, flying private, managing million-dollar deals, and earning $15K/month. From the outside, it looked like a dream. But on the inside, she felt trapped, constantly on call, and completely disconnected from her own freedom and purpose.Now, she’s an online business coach and mentor who helps ambitious women turn their lived experience into profitable, freedom-based businesses. Sara is known for helping her clients package their brilliance into high-impact offers, shift their money mindset, and finally stop trading time for money.She’s bold, real, and passionate about showing women how to build a business that actually supports the life they want. 📢 Important Links 📢Connect with our Guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saravezensek/Website: http://www.saravezcoach.com/Freebies: https://sara-vezensek.mykajabi.com/freedownloadshereConnect with Women Thrive Media:Women Thrive Summit: https://womenthrivesummit.com/Become a Guest on the Women Thrive Podcast: https://womenthrivemedia.com/podcastsWomen Thrive Book: https://womenthrivesummit.com/book/Women Thrive Magazine: https://womenthrivemagazine.com/magazine/➡️ Show Highlights(00:00) Introduction(02:37) Sara's Early Life and Career(03:57) The Million Dollar Course Idea(08:48) Building a Freedom-Based Business(16:03) Overcoming Imposter Syndrome(18:17) Creating Your Million Dollar Course(20:02) Empowering Women Through Freedom(24:50) Final ThoughtsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-thrive/exclusive-content
