Description

Today’s guest is Sara Al Madani, a single mother, TV personality, and serial entrepreneur. Sara has overcome great obstacles of abuse and betrayal, while never losing her connection to kindness. Her story sets a new standard of what is possible for single mothers and entrepreneurs. She is proof that your circumstances do not determine your outcome. 

Sara shares how she has crafted an intentional life that supports her child, her business, and her mental health. You do not need to limit yourself to cultural norms. Society's playbook is simply the expectations of the dead, and Sara leads by example, living on her own terms without needing anyone's approval. 

In this episode, we explore how to heal from trauma through radical responsibility. Sara conquered her own trauma by accepting responsibility for the standard of treatment she set for herself. She shares her philosophy that the mind is like tofu; it becomes whatever you marinate it in. Through honest evaluation of your actions, an inventory of your influences, and a commitment to kindness, you can craft a life that envelopes you in positivity and love. Join us as we explore the possibilities of a mindful entrepreneur.

Memorable Quotes:

“I realized by doing that, I am not allowing them to be creative. I am not allowing them to give their highest potential, because they know the boss is going to come in any second and fix it all up. It really takes a toll on you as a person, mentally and physically. So I started to let go slowly, and it was so hard in the beginning but then I learned, and now I don’t micromanage.”  [10:05 ] -Sara Al Madani

“What is culture? It’s us satisfying people in the grave.” [28:40 ] -Sara Al Madani 

“This is when you meet yourself halfway through, it’s when you look at where you went wrong. Who cares about them?! It’s not like it’s going to change them. It’s not going to make them better people. Screw them! Let’s focus on me, how did you go wrong?”  [36:25 ] -Sara Al Madani
