In this episode, Sarah Bondar, an attorney and holistic healing practitioner, shares her powerful journey of self-discovery, trauma healing, and transformation. By day, she practices law, specializing in family law, child advocacy, and criminal defense, and by night, she is a Reiki practitioner and breathwork facilitator, helping others heal.
Sarah opens up about her struggles with self-worth, childhood abuse, and an abusive relationship, which led to severe physical and emotional health issues. After losing her job as a 911 dispatcher and police officer, she experienced a turning point, realizing she had spent years trying to fix others while neglecting herself. This led her to therapy, self-exploration, and alternative healing modalities, which ultimately changed her life.
She discusses how personal growth transformed her marriage, inspiring her husband to embrace his own healing journey. Through radical self-responsibility, she shifted from victimhood to empowerment, proving that inner work has a ripple effect on relationships and life choices.
Now, as a lawyer and healer, Sarah helps people navigate legal and personal challenges with empathy and awareness. She encourages listeners to remember:
- It’s okay to not be okay—but don’t stay there.
- You are never alone.
- You are made for more than you think.
Sarah’s story is a testament to resilience, transformation, and limitless potential, reminding listeners that healing is possible and growth never stops.
