“I love Sarah’s shows. Her books reviews are excellent. If she says it’s good, you can take her word for it. I love her encouragement for Moms. Sometimes I just listen to her to destress and get ready for the next day of slaying dragons. Definitely recommend!”

“Sarah’s infectious laugh and chill mom attitude always helps me let go of my anxiety and enjoy my kids.
There aren’t words to describe how much she has helped me in my homeschooling (and just straight up parenting) journey.
Her joy reminds me of the kind of mom I want to be.”
