The Rise & Shine Show

🎧 Rising From the Ashes: Healing After Psychosis & Bipolar Short Summary:  Sarah Abat shares her deeply personal journey through psychosis and bipolar episodes that began at age 15 and led to years of hospitalizations, instability, and medication cycles. In this conversation, Sarah opens up about what those years were really like, and what helped her slowly find clarity, grounding, and stability again. With consistent support and healing-focused daily tools, Sarah experienced a profound shift in her mental health and life. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t always follow the path we’re told it will, and that hope is real. Key Highlights: Sarah’s first psychotic break at 15 and early hospitalization Living through bipolar mania, paranoia, and repeated relapses The emotional toll of medications and feeling “safe but numb” How consistent daily healing tools supported long-term stability The importance of family support during mental health crises Why Sarah believes healing is possible, and worth protecting Guest Sarah Abat Instagram: @sarahsmmbaking Resources Mentioned:  The following resources are shared as part of Sarah’s personal experience and healing journey: Cleanse to Heal by Anthony William Brain Saver by Anthony William About This Series: Rising From the Ashes is a series on The Rise & Shine Show featuring real stories of people who have moved beyond diagnosis, despair, and “this is just how it is”, and found their way back to health, clarity, and life.

In this episode, Sandy sits down with artist and art teacher Jennifer Crotwell, who has been quietly building a beautiful little art school out of her garage studio in Vienna Woods. Jennifer shares how she went from art school in San Francisco to teaching kids, teens, and now adults in her own space, and what it really looks like to follow your joy even when doubt and fear pop up. They talk about creativity as a form of therapy, why there’s no “wrong” in art, and how letting yourself make “imperfect” things can open up whole new parts of you. If you’ve been feeling a nudge toward something creative—or just something that lights you up—this conversation is your sign.

In this episode, Sandy and Derek explore what it really takes to stay grounded and true to yourself around anyone—family, friends, partners, or people who trigger old versions of you. They talk about why we sometimes shape-shift to be accepted, why being “seen” feels so powerful, and how to stop giving your peace away. This conversation blends winter energy, self-sourcing, boundaries, and emotional honesty into a warm, relatable dialogue about loving people without abandoning yourself. In This Episode Staying centered in who you are Why external validation pulls us off our path Loving people without losing yourself Shifting out of people-pleasing Building internal safety and self-sourced peace Whole relationships vs. dependent ones Connect with Sandy Instagram: @sandyjcoaches Join the Rise & Shine Community: Join HERE Coaching & Resources: www.sandyjacquard.com

It’s OK to Bring Love to Work (and Everywhere) After a seasonal pause, I'm back with a special conversation alongside Derek Hansen, CEO & co-founder of Mynt Systems. In this heart-to-heart episode, we explore what it means to hold compassion without collapsing under the weight of the world, how to filter what we let in from media and news, and why choosing small aligned actions can ripple out in big ways. Derek and I, talk about mood, presence, and habit change, from saying “yes” to the right things instead of just “no,” to screen fasts, seasonal shifts, and Derek’s business philosophy of culture-first, positive-sum leadership. Highlights from this episode: Why “bad mood days” can be a marker of growth How to practice compassion without drowning in suffering The power of narrowing your circle: think globally, act locally Reframing discipline: replacing old habits with better “yeses” Screens, news, and nervous systems, the case for media fasting Seasonal energy shifts and letting heaviness move through Why it’s absolutely OK to bring love into the workplace Quoteables: “Compassion is witnessing suffering without abandoning yourself.” “Say yes to what you want more than the urge in front of you.” “It’s OK to bring love into the workplace. And the bagel shop.” Listener Reflection Prompt: What’s one small “yes” you’re choosing this week, something that replaces an old habit with a better one? ✨ Stay connected: Join Email List Join the free Rise & Shine Facebook Community → Join Now Follow Sandy on Instagram → @sandyjcoaches Learn more at: Website

Today I’m joined by one of my long-time friends, Erin, whose journey is a true testament to dreaming big, persevering through life’s hardships, and ultimately creating a life aligned with her heart. But here’s what we don’t often talk about: living your dream doesn’t mean life gets easier. In this honest conversation, Erin shares what it really takes, the grit, the risks, the sacrifices, and the deep work of staying grounded and calm enough to recognize and move through the doors that open along the way. Building a life you love asks for all of you, your hard work, your patience, and your capacity to hold both the beauty and the challenges. If you’re in the season of dreaming, building, or wondering if it’s all worth it, this episode will inspire you to keep going. In This Episode We Cover: How grief and perseverance shaped Erin’s journey Why living your dream often means working harder, not less The importance of calming your nervous system to stay open to opportunity Lessons learned through building a family-run lodge and ranch What it really means to commit to your dreams, risks, sacrifices, and all Advice for anyone who feels their dream is too far away Connect with Erin and A King’s Lodge: 🏡 Website: akingslodge.com 📸 Instagram: @akingslodge 📘 Facebook: A King’s Lodge Cause We Supported in Today’s Episode: 🐴 Horse Haven of Tennessee — Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of neglected and abused horses across Tennessee.

In this special episode, I’m joined by my 22-year-old daughter for a heartfelt, unfiltered conversation about what it really feels like to be at the beginning of a change. She’s in that space so many of us know well, the space where you start to realize something’s not working… but you’re still figuring out how to do it differently. We talk about health, self-worth, letting go of pressure, and how scary (but powerful) it can be to start showing up for yourself in new ways. This episode is just the two of us, sitting together, being honest, and I think that’s exactly what makes it magic.
