Today I have Sarah Johnson on. As co-founder of JamboJon, an Utah based website development company, Sarah’s unique experience with sales, psychology, and human connection give her the ability to create websites that marry technology, storytelling and graphics. 

Show Highlights:

What’s the same and different about teens today compared to our generation? Teens have unique struggles we never had to face. No one ever filmed us, we didn’t have a play by play of world wide catastrophes at our finger tips…teens empathy can be crippling and cause anxiety AND it can be their superpower because they are compassionate.

How I learned to Heal My Voice.

Jodi Brown’s Book, “Depression Fighter"

- What I thought the rules were about using my voice (always have to be nice, kind, polite, take care of others before self, hide in shame.)

- What I learned how powerful my voice can be. (Stand up for self, use voice for good, I don’t have to earn worthiness, I deserve to be loved. Kobe Campbell, “Healing isn’t becoming the best version of your self, healing is knowing that all the parts of yourself deserve to be loved.")

- Physical healing: deal with the physical problems (doctors, medicine, vitamins, taking care of my physical body)

- Emotional healing (Shadow work, facing what I fear, using my voice to create boundaries, being honest)

Sarah's new podcast with her daughter: Mom I’m Home!

Two generations exploring what it means to take brave risks and be adventurous, but also how important secure attachment and safe environments are to rest and digest.  (My daughter Anna is 22, an Art student. She and I host this podcast)

Why is rest so important?

Fight or Flight mode is designed to help us be superheroes- but it is intended for short term use…our problem is that we stay in this state. 

It is essential to have a space to reset and rest. Have a home to come back to. A safe place where we can face out emotions.
