I’ve always been ambitious, knowing that I was

called to do something meaningful with my life.

I spent years studying English and Psychology.

I then took this knowledge, and together with my husband Colin,

shared it within ministry, non-for-profit & corporate environments.

Even though I was experiencing external success,

on the inside I was caught up in self doubt and

paralyzed by fears & insecurities.

And then my life got turned upside down on

one Friday morning in November…

It was early in the morning when my doctor called.

I’ll never forget his words…

“Sarah I’m clearing my schedule, you have to come in immediately.

Your results have come back suspicious.”

And then the word that turned my

world upside down – cancer.

During the next 18 months I was treated for an aggressive form of thyroid cancer.

My diagnosis of cancer brought a deeply confronting reality of the

limited time of my life and made me wake up to realise what a small

world I was creating for myself.

Although it was one of the toughest

experiences of my life, I truly believe

my cancer diagnosis was a gift…

I was finally fed up and refused to live any more of my life

confined by the fear, self-doubt or insecurity.

That is the gift within any pain,

it is often the catalyst of change and transformation.
