Why I Got Up Out of My Seat
For years, I sat in the CPG world. Big brands, fast moves, constant grind. But I kept asking myself: what if I took these same skills somewhere bigger, more stable, more impactful?
That’s when I found the government contracting space. Y’all… it’s a whole different ballgame.

Life will always pull—between storms that want to drag us back and the peace waiting up ahead. The real battle isn’t just in our hands, it’s in our hearts: will we let the rope of chaos keep us bound, or will we strain forward toward the rope that leads to light, growth, and freedom?

I’ve learned this the hard way. We don’t get stronger pretending the storm never happened—we get stronger choosing not to let it own us. And that’s what Auntie Sara is here for: to help women recognize when it’s time to loosen the grip on the rope that’s only burning your hands, and reach for the one pulling you toward wholeness.

I started writing on my personal page, a series I call "Tuesday Tender Tales" to untangle myself from the weight of my own knots. Now I walk alongside other women as they find their footing too—in purpose, in passion, in peace.

If you’re ready to stop letting old storms dictate your future, book your session today. Let’s do the work—together.

U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate has blocked parts of Mississippi’s new law banning diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in public schools, saying the measure violates free speech rights and creates confusion about what can be taught.

According to The Associated Press, the law took effect in April and sought to ban DEI programs, training, and offices in schools. It also listed “divisive concepts” tied to race, s*x, gender identity, s*xual orientation, and national origin. Schools that broke the rules risked losing state funding.

Wingate’s ruling prevents those provisions from being enforced while a lawsuit against the state continues. The injunction does not apply to sections of the law that ban preferential treatment based on race, s*x, or national origin, or those that protect students and staff from being penalized for rejecting DEI ideas.

Mississippi’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools remains blocked after a federal judge granted the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction in an Aug. 18 decision.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi also denied the defendants’ requests to dismiss the case, calling the defendants’ points “moot.”

It is unconstitutionally vague, fails to treat speech in a viewpoint-neutral manner, and carries with it serious risks of terrible consequences with respect to the chilling of expression and academic freedom,” U.S. District Court Judge Henry Wingate wrote in the Court’s decision.

JUST START

You know what’s wild?
Most people aren’t outworked—they’re undone by the weight of never starting.

They dream it.
They talk about it.
They research it.
Then… they wait.

Some start, then stop at the first “no.”
Others quit when the support they expected doesn’t show up.
But here’s the truth:
The gap between where you are and where you want to be… is STARTING.

Not perfect.
Not polished.
Just start.

Starting doesn’t have to mean quitting your job tomorrow.
It might mean finally registering the business.
Launching the service.
Selling that first product.
Telling your story.
Creating your lane.

Because movement?
It births clarity.

And the quality of your life?
It starts to rise when you do.
More time.
More freedom.
More power to build something with your name on it—not just your labor in it.

I’ve mentored enough women to know—
most of us don’t lack vision.
We lack safe, strategic spaces to grow what we see.

So I created one.
A place to start scared, but start anyway.
To build in community, not confusion.
To stop sitting on brilliance just because the blueprint ain’t perfect yet.
