How do you have an abundance mindset? Our guest today, Sarah Sharky Harkness, developed her abundance mindset in the hospital, alone, during the pandemic, away from her three kids, after 26 surgeries for autonomic dysreflexia, and being brought back from the dead, she is now pioneering a theory of abundance serving to transform the lives of others, to support you in overcoming adversity.
About Sarah "Sharky" Harkness:
In 2019 after she had her third baby, a boy, she suddenly started getting unwell. She developed chronic pain, and neuropathy in her arms and legs, and was eventually diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension and POTS rare forms of dysautonomia.
On Christmas Day of 2020, she saw her daughter for 1 hour in between two consecutive abdominal debridement surgeries at a public hospital. She had an infection from a prior surgery and was developing sepsis.
She couldn't have held her tighter. Sarah shared the room with two cancer patients and a pregnant drug addict. But at this moment, she could have been in paradise because she was a mum seeing and celebrating Christmas with her baby on Christmas day. And that, for her was abundance.
Fast forward to 2022, Sarah spent a large chunk of her year in St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, running a multi-million dollar revops business, CattleDog Digital, from her hospital bed, facetiming the kids, watching raging floodgates rise and fall. She missed mothers Day, her birthday, and through a blur of surgeries (brain for the third time, ileostomy, reverse ileostomy, bowel resection, bowel untwisting, bowel removal, prolapse repair, and bladder repair she learned something but it's nothing new and is something you can use every day to live the life you want.
Sarah accredits her miraculous transformation into a healthy, present, unhospitalized mother, coach and founder of Project Lotus to a combination of Fountain Life, A360, Dr.G, and, the abundance theory that downloaded and saved her.
