What if you had the resilience to turn your life around, from surviving abuse to thriving as a successful author and hospitality consultant? We invite you to a heartfelt conversation with Sarah Hummell, former owner of Sip Bistro in Holly Springs, who impressively transformed her life. Sarah recounts the chilling details of her past abusive relationship and her courageous journey to healing, providing a beacon of hope for those who might be silently suffering and showing that one can rise from the ashes.

Sarah's intense story extends beyond her personal struggles. She opens up about her journey of personal growth, her inspirations, and the importance of setting boundaries. She also delves into her experiences navigating the complex court system during her divorce, shielding her children from manipulation, and the significance of self-care, and mental health strategies. Most importantly, she emphasizes the power of breathing and how it can reset the amygdala and one's fight, flight, fright, or fawn system.

The conversation with Sarah is not all struggle and pain; it's also about the rewards of resilience and personal growth. We explore her complicated relationships, the effects of trauma and abuse for all involved, and her current love interest. Listen in as Sarah shares her experience of overcoming the manipulation of her ex-partner, her relationship with her parents, and the importance of having a robust support system. Grab a cup of coffee and join us in exploring Sarah's powerful journey and her valuable insights on setting healthy boundaries.
