Sarah DeBlock shares her transformative journey from emotional and physical breakdown to a life of purpose, joy, and healing. After ignoring her heart’s call to move to California, Sarah found herself in Houston—separated from her partner, stuck in a job she didn’t love, and physically ill from stress-induced anxiety. Through yoga, self-reflection, and a powerful promise she made to herself in middle school to become a joyful adult, Sarah rebuilt her life. She eventually opened her own yoga studio, wrote a memoir titled The Year of Sarah, and is now launching a guided journal to help others find joy. Her story is a testament to resilience, self-love, and the magic of listening to your inner voice.The Year Of Sarah:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXVKZ5MFFind Sarah here:https://www.instagram.com/sarahdeblock_heals/https://somayogahealing.com/https://www.instagram.com/somayogaalx/https://www.facebook.com/people/Soma-Yoga-Healing-Center/61553590957694/TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Meet Sarah DeBlock07:45 - Healing Through Yoga & Self-Responsibility10:15 - Following Her Husband vs. Following Her Heart14:15 - New Dream: A Guided Journal for Joy19:30 - Sneak Peek: Joy Journal Exercises21:00 - The Meaning Behind “The Year of Sarah”#HealingJourney #MindsetShift #SelfGrowth #EmotionalWellness #YogaLife #RealStories #Shorts #Motivation #Healing #SelfImprovement #PodcastMoments #YogaJourney #RealTalk Also!
