Meaningful change for a meaningful life.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Sarkis

I’m a psychologist by training, and a certified executive and performance coach by practice. I also moonlight as a writer and speaker. My integrated approach is big on science, low on bullshit.

I’m available for individual, team, and organizational collaboration.

I “met” @gabbyreece early in the pandemic and had the incredible opportunity to connect with her on multiple podcasts, including her own. So when @drchrisbertram and I birthed this podcast idea, Gabby was top of my list to invite to our lair. 🎙 Today, we just dropped her episode #4 and I invite you to check it out in the link in my bio, or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧 This conversation is exactly the way Gabby is - real, authentic, no BS, vulnerable, and willing to be imperfect and a masterpiece at the same time. We talk about her journey, what she has learned, aging in the business of performance and beauty, and much, much more. ✨ She has been in the game of top performance for more than half of her life and she’s found her way to the top in multiple arenas. I just adore this woman and all her depth, intensity, and drive. I hope you enjoy. 👊🏼 #insightful #becomingconscious #theunconscious #psychologypodcast #psychologyquotes #psychologist #mytherapistsays #therapy #dothework #insidejob #mentalhealthblogger #psychologyblog #therapyiscool #brainscience #getstarted #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfmastery #podcast #selfhelppodcast #performancepodcast #gabbyreece #gabbyreecepodcast #shadowboxing #shadowboxingpodcast

When your emphasis becomes solely on the destination— you name it: winning, succeeding, fame, etc.—to the exclusion of the process of learning and self-awareness, you will eventually run into trouble. ✨ Further reading On the Blog --> "A Shrink’s Guide to Psychological Flexibility: My First Five Principles" (link in bio) 💡 #mentalhealthblogger #performanceblog #performancecoach #peakperformance #optimalperformance #excellence #everydaygreatness #successquotes #psychologymemes #psychologist #brainscience #trainyourbrain #executives #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #flow #grit #resilient #insightful #becomingconscious #theunconscious #psychologymemes #psychologyquotes #psychologist #mytherapistsays #therapy #dothework #insidejob #selfmastery

What's been the most thought-provoking book you've read recently? 💡 I've been re-reading "The Art of Insubordination" by our recent podcast guest @toddkashdan and there is so much in here to reflect on. ✨ He touches on some of these topics in our recent podcast EP#3 - it's a great companion listen as you read his book (or as a teaser before you do). You can find the episode wherever you get your podcasts, as well as in the link in my bio. 🎙 #insightful #becomingconscious #theunconscious #psychologymemes #psychologyquotes #psychologist #mytherapistsays #therapy #dothework #insidejob #mentalhealthblogger #psychologyblog #therapyiscool #brainscience #getstarted #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfmastery #theartofinsubordination #groupthink #devilsadvocate #blacksheep #dissent #disruptivethinking
