Our Values and Approach

Build a System That Works [extended cut]

In this episode of Journal to Growth, Sabrina shares a conversation originally recorded in March 2025 and published to the Future Focused podcast in May 2025. During this powerful chat, Sabrina and the hosts offer a no-fluff explanation as to why traditional goals fail, the benefits of aligning goals to values, not KPIs, and being accountable to yourself. 🎯 In this chat, you’ll hear about: - How to align goals with your values, not just your KPIs - My two-notebook system for tracking progress without burnout - The role of rest, reflection, and real-life accountability. Whether you’re deep into your career or building something new, anyone who wants to design systems that support sustainable success should give this a listen.

From Corinthians to Rhonda

In this journal entry, Sabrina sends a message to her cousin as she (Rhonda) prepares to speak publicly about lessons to be learned from 2nd Corinthians chapters 1 - 5. Inadvertently, I recorded a reply to 1st Corinthians while sitting on my patio, so you can hear birds chirping in the background. The sound of birds brings me so much joy that I uploaded the clip raw. Despite being a different passage, we wanted to share it anyway. We encourage you to listen to or read this passage for additional context.
