Today we journey into the mind of the brilliant Sarah Walton, an intuitive business coach and sales expert, who helps us dismantle these illusions and guides us towards the promise of abundance. Sarah's life story is one of resilience and determination; from her humble beginnings in a poverty-stricken household to the bustling corporate world of New York City. Her narrative is a poignant reminder that our circumstances don't define us, our choices do.</p><p><br></p><p>Caught in the crosshairs of high-functioning codependency, Sarah reveals how women often bear the brunt of invisible and unpaid work, which disconnects us from our intuition.
