As a Wilderness Guide, Therapist intern, trauma survivor, and two-time Naked and Afraid star, Sara empowers audiences to turn adversity into adventure through her unique Joyful Resilience approach.
Based on her story of going from bedridden with a broken spine and PTSD to completing two Naked and Afraid Challenges, her speech combines primitive survival principles with modern psychology to provide actionable tools that offer clarity, calm, and confidence. Instead of fleeting life hacks, she teaches simple lasting mindsets and strategies to turn fears and setbacks into competitive advantages.
With over 12 years on stage as an award-winning entertainer, with past clients including Verizon, Boston Children's Hospital, and campuses nationwide, Sara is a top choice for impactful keynotes and workshops.
