How to Change Your Life
Tips, Tools, and Inspiring Anecdotes to Help You Transform Your Life for the Better
A practical and personal guide to navigating change, developing resilience, and creating a life that feels more intentional.
About the Book
Change often begins with the recognition that something in your life is no longer working—but knowing you want something different is not the same as knowing how to move forward.
How to Change Your Life combines personal stories, practical guidance, and concrete tools for navigating both major transitions and meaningful everyday changes. Drawing on my own experiences with relationships, career changes, relocation, and reinvention, the book explores what can keep us feeling stuck and how we can begin moving forward with greater clarity and intention.
Whether you are reconsidering a relationship, career, habit, or larger direction, the book offers support for working through uncertainty, clarifying what matters to you, and taking manageable steps toward lasting change.
A Note from Sarah
When I wrote How to Change Your Life, I was reflecting on a period in which nearly every part of my life had changed. I had ended a decade-long marriage, changed careers, moved across the country twice, traveled on my own, started a business, and built a new life in New York City.
I was interested in what helps people move through uncertainty, let go of lives or identities that no longer fit, and make meaningful changes even when the way forward is not entirely clear.
Those questions eventually helped lead me to the field of marriage and family therapy. Since the book was published in 2022, I have completed my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and begun working clinically with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, separation and divorce, recurring patterns, and other major life transitions.
I now see the book as both a record of an important chapter in my own life and an early expression of the interests that continue to shape my work today: relationships, resilience, personal growth, and the ways people create meaningful change.
