#05: Navigating Life's Changes, Prioritizing Friendships, and Quarterly Resets ft. Sarah Norman

Life’s a series of plot twists, right? One moment, you’ve got everything figured out, and then you’re wondering what’s next, who’s coming along for the ride, and how to even begin recalibrating. If you’ve ever felt the weight of big life transitions, shifting friendships, or just a need for a reset, this episode is for you!

In this episode, I sit down with my bestie, Sarah Norman, who is also the founder of 4610 Wealth Management, to talk about embracing life’s pivots, making space for personal growth, and keeping friendships and our relationships strong even as everything else shifts. We’re also diving into the magic of quarterly resets — because sometimes, all we need is a structured check-in with ourselves to make sure we’re heading in the right direction.

Get ready for an episode packed with real talk, actionable takeaways, and a whole lot of inspiration to help you step into your next season with clarity and confidence. Let’s dive in!
