#14 Romanticise the Life You Have

Get access to all my FREE resources at ⁠yoursara.com⁠ [https://yoursara.com], including the Doomscroll Detox, and much more! ________________ In this episode, we're diving into the art of romanticizing your actual life - not the one you wish you had, but the one you're living right here and now. This episode was inspired by a moment of slowing down and a wonderful YouTube video, and I'm sharing how surrendering to the present (and the resistance you feel to it) can be your path to deeper self-love and genuine joy. There are lots of nuggets in here about why trying to “look perfect” to ourselves or others only steals our happiness, and how accepting what is (instead of denying discomfort) actually brings us more peace. This episode is for you if you want to walk away feeling lighter, more present, and with a few new tools to see the magic in your day-to-day.

#12 Do your devices have a bedtime?

Friends, Romans, Countrymen and -women, in this episode, I’m sharing a game-changing little habit that made an enormous difference in my life: Giving my devices a bedtime. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a spiral of late-night scrolling, avoidance, or feeling like trying to follow routines lead to an inevitable spiral of failure and discouragement - this one is for you! I open up about my own struggles with too much time spent avoiding the present moment, especially during a rough patch, and how I realized that strict routines weren’t really what I needed to get back on track. Instead, it was the space I created by putting my devices away in the evening that made the biggest impact. That simple change brought so much more intentionality and awareness to my days, and ended up giving me all the same positive results as having a solid routine. I now experience calmer mornings, days and evenings, more presence, and a deep sense of satisfaction, awareness and intentionality. I’ll walk you through how you yourself can try out this “keystone habit” of giving your devices a bedtime, to get all these benefits. If you want more peace, presence, and inspiration in your daily life but you struggle with consistency, give this episode a listen. I’d love to hear how it goes for you - so please leave a comment on this episode!

#11 Something is Rotten in Denmark: Indigenous Parenting Genius vs. Colonial Control

In this episode we’re diving into the genius that is indigenous parenting - and also discussing a currently unfolding heartbreaking case of a baby being taken from her mother because of racist attitudes belonging far far away in the past. I’ll take you through some of the mind-blowing insights I got from the book Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff. This book honestly completely changed the way I think about parenting - for the better! If you've ever wondered what else there is to indigenous parenting - apart from "it takes a village", you’re going to love this part. Here’s the link if you want to check it out for yourself: Hunt, Gather, Parent on Goodreads [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54304028-hunt-gather-parent?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=44P80zgwVH&rank=1] Then we’ll get into the story covered in this must-read Guardian article. It follows Keira Alexandra Kronvold and her battle to keep her baby girl Zammi in the face of shocking, colonial-style bureaucracy. Warning: it’s a tough read, but these are the stories we absolutely need to talk about. Guardian article: ‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a Greenlandic woman from her children [https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/jun/29/controversial-danish-parenting-test-separated-greenlandic-mother-children] This episode goes beyond just parenting. It’s about how entire cultures and individual lives are affected when deep, lived wisdom is brushed aside by those in power. It’s also about how we can change our attitude toward children and ourselves for the better - helping us heal generational wounds. This is an important message whether you’re a parent, thinking about becoming one, or wanting to get better at nurturing your own inner child.
