From yacht kitchens to coaching women around the world, Sara Vezensek has never played by the rules—and in this episode, she shares how courage (not confidence) shaped her journey.
Sara’s story takes us from waitressing in Slovenia to risking it all on a yacht job she technically wasn’t “qualified” for, to building a business that helps women claim true freedom: time, money, and location.
In our conversation, we cover:
- Why chasing freedom is worth more than chasing a paycheck
- How to reframe failure as nothing more than a roadblock
- Why women hold the keys to real change in the world
- The uncomfortable truth about comfort zones
- Courage > confidence: what it really takes to start
Key Topics:
- Travel and early career risks
- Redefining failure
- Courage, visibility, and taking risks
- Building freedom as a business model
- Women, wealth, and empowerment
