Last week, I sat down to an hour-long conversation with spiritual entrepreneur, rewilding guide, and spoken word artist, Sarah Monroe. This week’s episode includes the first half of our conversation which covered some excellent points on the challenges of being a spiritual entrepreneur and the importance of pursuing your passion regardless of how ready you feel. The second half will come out as episode 40 next week, so be sure not to miss it!

There is so much gold in this interview for anyone who is feeling called to a greater purpose and wants to step into the waters of spiritual entrepreneurship. It’s hard to summarize the best points or to craft one cohesive core learning from this interview. Below, I’ve called out just a handful of points Sarah touched on. Listen to the full episode to catch the rest including the #1 thing you should consider when planning a retreat. 

Feeling passion for your purpose

When talking about how Sarah began her spiritual business(es), she talked about feeling so much passion for a deeper spiritual purpose that she didn’t feel like she could do anything else. When her journey began, she was, like a lot of spiritual entrepreneurs, working at a mundane job. As she got more and more in touch with her purpose and could feel the passion for this work in her body, she talked about how she became less and less engaged in her job until she finally chose to leave it. That really spoke to me because I’ve been talking a lot lately about tapping into the wisdom of the body and how we experience our human design in our bodies. Sarah really reinforced this point as she came back frequently to the topic of listening to your body and feeling whether something is right or not in your body.

On having a lot of extra time

Sarah and talked a little bit about the unique challenges of starting a spiritual business just prior to the global Covid pandemic.
