The Sarah Centrella Show

What does it take to achieve a dream that everyone tells you is impossible? (Watch this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HGOLNJZzXWk) In this inspiring episode of The Sarah Centrella Show, I'm joined by Mario West, retired NBA player, motivational speaker, and community activist, whose incredible journey from growing up in poverty to playing in the NBA is proof of what can happen when you refuse to give up on yourself. Follow Mario on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariowest6/ Mario shares how basketball became his pathway to a better life, and how he defied the odds to achieve his ultimate childhood dream: earning a spot on an NBA team through an open tryout. We dive into the mindset, mental toughness, self-belief, discipline, and relentless determination it took to accomplish something most people thought was impossible. But achieving your biggest dream is only part of the story. Mario also opens up about the challenges of transitioning out of professional basketball, redefining his identity after retirement, and learning to dream again when the life you've worked so hard to create begins to change. Together, we explore the power of resilience, overcoming adversity, reinventing yourself, and developing the growth mindset necessary to navigate life's biggest transitions. Whether you're an entrepreneur building a business, chasing an ambitious goal, navigating a career change, or trying to figure out what's next, Mario's story is a powerful reminder that your circumstances don't determine your future, and achieving one dream doesn't mean you stop creating new ones. If you've ever been told your dreams are unrealistic or impossible, this is an episode you need to hear. Listen now to The Sarah Centrella Show for a motivating conversation about mindset, success, perseverance, personal reinvention, and the courage to keep believing in what's possible. The Sarah Centrella Show explores mindset, mental fitness, personal growth, manifestation, healing, and the power of reinventing yourself at any age.

Watch this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/a64jyJ0qjzE What if the struggles you've carried your entire life aren't actually yours? What if the physical pain, emotional patterns, and limiting beliefs you've been holding onto are connected to generations of trauma you didn't even know existed? And what if you could finally let them go? In this episode of The Sarah Centrella Show, Sarah sits down with intuitive life coach and energy healer Tiffany Stratford for a fascinating conversation about energy healing, generational trauma, the mind-body connection, spiritual awakening, and what it really takes to release the past and reinvent yourself. Follow. Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.stafford/ After spending 20 years as a personal trainer and gym owner, Tiffany followed her intuition into a completely different calling, helping people heal emotional wounds, break subconscious patterns, and reconnect with their authentic selves through intuitive coaching and high energy healing. Sarah shares her own powerful experience working with Tiffany, including a healing session focused on clearing generational trauma along her maternal lineage. What happened afterward surprised even Sarah. Chronic shoulder pain she'd been experiencing disappeared, opening up a deeper conversation about the emotional burdens we carry, the stories we inherit, and the connection between our physical bodies and unresolved trauma. They also explore Sarah's personal journey of reinvention, the profound emotional shifts that came from writing her memoir, and her realization that she'd spent most of her life identifying with struggle. Now, at 51, she's learning how to stop fighting against life and start allowing things to flow. In this episode, you'll discover: How generational trauma and inherited beliefs can influence your identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. What high energy healing is and how Tiffany incorporates intuition, Akashic records, and spiritual guidance into her work. The potential connection between emotional trauma, physical pain, and the mind-body relationship. Why we become attached to struggle and how to begin releasing that identity. How major life disruptions, loss, and unexpected endings can become catalysts for personal transformation. What it means to trust your intuition, surrender control, and create a life with more ease. Why speaking your truth and embracing vulnerability are essential parts of healing and reinvention. Whether you're curious about energy healing, navigating a spiritual awakening, working through childhood trauma, or simply ready to stop living in survival mode, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what you're carrying and what's possible when you finally let it go. Because maybe the next chapter of your life isn't about fighting harder. Maybe it's about learning how to float.

What does it really mean to “get out of your head” when the pressure is high, your confidence is shaken and your brain won’t stop spiraling? Watch this episoide on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Q_kuZ2o4gUs In this episode, I sit down with mental performance coach and consultant Jeanene Gray to talk about what mental fitness looks like in real life, especially for athletes performing under enormous pressure. Jeanene spent nearly 15 years working at the University of Oregon, including extensive work with Oregon football, before leaving to build her own mental performance practice. We talk about her own experience as a college athlete, how injury first showed her the connection between the physical and mental side of performance, and what she learned from years of working directly with student athletes navigating injuries, coaching changes, pressure, NIL, the transfer portal and everything that comes with high-level college sports. We also get into the part I care about most: the HOW. What do you do after a bad play when your brain starts replaying the mistake? How do you interrupt a thought spiral before it takes over? How do you rebuild confidence when the thing you usually feel confident in suddenly isn’t going well? Jeanene shares how she helps athletes recognize the mental patterns they fall into under pressure, disrupt those patterns and simplify what they need to focus on in the moment. We also talk about building confidence through small wins in other areas of your life, why mental skills have to be practiced just like physical skills, and how gratitude can be used as a real mental performance tool. And although much of this conversation centers around football, everything we talk about translates far beyond sports. Whether you’re dealing with pressure at work, questioning yourself after a setback, trying to rebuild your confidence or simply learning how to manage your own thoughts more effectively, there’s a lot here you can use. We also talk about the role parents and coaches play in an athlete’s mental performance, and why giving athletes these tools earlier can completely change how they navigate pressure, adversity and the next level of competition.

In this episode, I coach one of the most powerful identity and mindset tools I teach: I AM Statements. If you've tried affirmations before and they didn't stick, this is different. I AM Statements are about claiming an identity you're still building, even when it feels like a lie to say it out loud, they are how you bridge the gap between who you are today and who you want to be. In this coaching, pulled directly from my new Think It Method™ Intensive online course, I walk through exactly how to write statements that work, why they should make you uncomfortable at first, and the daily mirror practice that rewires what your brain accepts as true. You'll hear how a simple identity shift, one word at a time, can change your confidence, your self-talk, and the results you see in your career and your life. If you're ready to stop reinforcing beliefs that hold you back and start building the identity you actually want, this episode gives you the exact coaching tool to do it. Mindset coaching, identity transformation, self-confidence, personal development, and mental fitness, all in one conversation.

What happens when you stop trying to fit into what everyone else is doing and really figure out who YOU are? Watch this interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/S4t5rYeaxF4My guest Darin Rios knows a lot about that. He’s the founder and CEO of Revver Agency, a personal branding expert who has worked with some of the biggest names in the world, including Johnny Depp and Usher, and helped build brands and audiences reaching millions of people.But his story didn’t start anywhere near there.Darin grew up in survival mode, largely raising himself, getting involved with gangs at a young age and trying to figure out who he was without much direction. He always had this feeling that he was meant for something more, and over time, the things he learned simply trying to survive became some of the same skills that helped him build the career and life he has today.We talk about what it means to be an “anomaly,” how to stop listening to everyone else long enough to hear your own voice, and why knowing what you REALLY want is such a huge part of building a personal brand, a career and honestly, a life that feels like yours.We also get into identity, limiting beliefs, fear, shame, self-worth and that underlying “I’m not good enough” belief that can show up in so many different areas of our lives without us even realizing it.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion about the beliefs and identities we’ve carried for years that may never have belonged to us in the first place. Who told you that’s who you are? And more importantly, who do you want to be now?Because you have agency. You get to choose. You can decide what stays, what goes and who you become next.This is such a good conversation about personal branding, identity, authenticity, transformation and having the courage to become the person you know you’re capable of being.Follow Darin on social media @darinrios https://www.instagram.com/darinrios/About the Host: Sarah Centrella is a keynote speaker, executive mindset coach, and multi–bestselling author of four books, including Think It. | Book her to speak.

I have wanted to have this conversation with Jenifer Faison for YEARS. Watch this Ep on Youtube I first found Jenifer after watching her story on Hulu’s Betrayal: The Perfect Husband, and immediately reached out to her because so much of her story hit home for me. Jenifer had reconnected with her college sweetheart after 20 years, moved across the country, married him and thought she was living her fairy tale. Then one day she came home to find police waiting to arrest her husband for the sexual assault of a student. What followed was the discovery that he had been living an entire double life, including relationships with dozens of other women. We have a very real conversation about what betrayal like that does to you. How it makes you question everything you thought was real, your judgment, your confidence and even yourself. We talk about the shame that can come with being the person who was betrayed, why there aren't always red flags to see, and how incredibly healing it can be to finally realize, I am not the only person who has been through this. Jenifer is an Emmy Award-winning television producer whose career has included Judge Judy, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Instant Dream Home and Vanderpump Villa. She also created the hit Betrayal podcast and shared her own story publicly in hopes that another woman going through something similar might hear it and know she can get through it too. Follow her on Instagram  And I loved where this conversation went beyond her story because we also got really honest about success, career setbacks, starting over, creating when you don't know what's coming next, and the weird reality that you can accomplish huge things and still have seasons where you're thinking, what the hell am I doing? We both know what it's like to have those earthquake moments where everything around you seems to shatter. Sometimes what grows out of that mess becomes the thing you never could have planned. Jenifer said something toward the end of our conversation that I think sums it up perfectly: we are so much stronger than we could possibly know. Sometimes you really do just have to get up, start again and see what happens next.

Watch this ep on YouTube In this episode of The Sarah Centrella Show, I sit down with Molly Smith, host of the WTF (What the Funk) podcast, to talk about career burnout, sobriety, emotional healing, self-worth, self-trust, and what it really takes to reinvent your life.  Molly shares her journey from a 25+ year corporate career and VP role to coaching, podcasting, and Emotion Code energy healing. We talk about tying your identity to career success, external validation, people pleasing, limiting beliefs, fear of change, and the moment you realize the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned. We also dive into Molly’s alcohol-free journey, the difference between true emotional healing and simply replacing one numbing behavior with another, and her practical framework for getting out of a funk: name the emotion, ground yourself, identify what you can control, and take one aligned action. Molly explains Emotion Code healing, trapped emotions, muscle testing, inherited emotional patterns, generational beliefs, and how unresolved emotions may show up as fear of success, fear of visibility, low self-esteem, anxiety, creative insecurity, and feeling stuck. This conversation is for anyone navigating burnout, career change, sobriety, identity shifts, personal growth, mindset work, emotional regulation, confidence, entrepreneurship, spiritual growth, or a major life transition and looking for practical ways to build self-trust and create a more aligned life.   About Your Host Sarah Centrella is a corporate keynote speaker, executive mindset coach, and multi–bestselling author known for teaching leaders how to create a clear vision for their future and develop the mental fitness to achieve it.
