Ever had one of those days where it just didn’t work out the way you’d planned? You were anticipating one outcome and may have felt blind-sided, disappointed, or frustrated. It felt like you were at your limit and losing your patience. Maybe you were ready to walk out. Enough is enough, right?!

Let me share one of my moments and my brave reaction to speaking up for myself. Maybe you can relate somehow.

“So what you’re telling me is that I’m performing at the HR Generalist level and I continue to be an exceeds expectations employee, but you can’t promote me now. And I need to wait around for maybe, if possibly, for this next promotion until July. I see.”

My boss nodded in agreement, and I stood up and stormed out of his [Continue Reading...]

I am a humble badass warrior. I am like the Buffalo who goes Charging into the Storm. I face my doubts. I face my fears. I run through the resistance. I get comfortable with the uncomfortable. And I let others show up and support me.

Even when want to talk myself out of it.
Even when I want to lower the stakes.
Even when I want to quit the day before and in the middle of the race. (For real!)

I feel the feelings of nervousness and anxiety and fear. I begin to worry if I’m prepared enough. I begin to have terrible visions of pushing myself beyond my edge that I’m collapsing and throwing up at the end of the race.

Then I remember the way through.
I channel all of that energy into power.
I recognize this [Continue Reading...]

Sarina on the Masaya Volcano Sunset Hike in Nicaragua
GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Everywhere I go I simply find myself speaking and teaching about green juice and my mostly vegan lifestyle. At work meetings, at social events/gatherings, while on trips, at my wellness chiro’s office, at the gym, after races, and at high schools!

While on my trip to Central America (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala), I had green juice or carrot juice 4 times during my 18 day trip! I was thrilled to discover it while at Pure Natural Health & Fitness Center in Granada, Nicaragua. Then at a healthy bistro place in Antigua, Guatemala. When I visited my friend Jessica in Alberta, Canada, I practically had green juice every day. Lo and behold, Jessica and her boyfriend were drinking right along with me!

About a month ago, out of nowhere, my [Continue Reading...]

A few weeks ago, I was a Guest Speaker at Half Hollow Hills High School West (3 classes back to back!) and I discussed with the students the topic, Learning to Embrace Change in Your Life and Career. Without a doubt, Embracing Change is so essential to master, especially if you want to achieve some big goals and conquer your self-limiting beliefs, fears and doubts!

It’s when I’ve stepped forward, believed in myself, stayed committed to the outcome and true to myself, that’s when some powerful moments happened in my life and career!

In this video clip from that day, I shared with the High School Students, How I became a Half Marathon Runner & then got featured in FITNESS Magazine for the July/August 2012 issue.
