Sara Oblak Speicher

There is something we often don't realize when it comes to intentionally pursuing our most audacious goals, and when it comes to the aftermath of achieving our dreams.

*First, responding to opportunities and "seeing where this leads" indeed requires courage. But it's vastly different from purposefully deciding to move in the direction of our calling.

Choosing to stay the course day in and day out. Even and especially during the process of becoming the version of ourselves who is ready, able, and available for what's next.

Because in the goo, all that no longer belongs will fall apart. Yes, sometimes even ourselves, our relationships, businesses, and families. Oftentimes right before the breakthrough.

Beavering this requires remarkable courage, capacity, and clarity. As well as the right support system, a blend of mental, emotional, strategic, tactical, spiritual, and physical.

*Second, most of us are not ready for this "now what" after realizing our vision. Achieving that big goal. Or embarking on the next chapter of our journey - after seemingly achieving it all.

Whether it's elite athletes or highly-accomplished business/career people, new parents or empty-nesters. There is this sudden sense of loss. Emptiness. Confusion.
"Who am I?" "What's next?" "Can I really? Should I even?" "But what if?"

It takes clarity, capacity, and courage to release set narratives. To change comfortable habits. To shift old perceptions.

*Third, when things that used to work no longer do, no matter how good we're at them and no matter how hard we try, it's clearly time for a change.

A change in the direction of our innate knowing - not fulfilling external expectations. There's a huge difference.
it takes capacity, clarity, and courage to conceptualize and ultimately internalize new ways. To invite in, accept, hold, maneuver, and actually enjoy what comes next.

Now, I would love to say "I wish I had known this when..." but the truth is that no one can grab us by the shoulders and shake us into realization, understanding, knowing of [fill-in-the-blank].

Instead, when we become available, teachers and teaching will appear.

How we proceed, and what we choose to do in response, well, that's what sets the trajectory for what comes (or doesn't) next.

And if you're embarking on life-altering decisions, if you feel change is coming, if you're in a goo, if you're on your journey towards realizing your big dream - AND you know you get to be supported and would like to go at this together...
..let's talk and see if we're a fit as I am opening a handful of mentoring spaces for 2024 (plus a few VIP sessions in December).

P.S.: And just because there is resistance, just because the going gets hard, and just because nothing goes the way it should, it does not mean we're on the wrong path. What if there are no wrong paths?

TRANSFORMATION THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

What I love most about being a Mentor is holding you and your potential in higher energy, and seeing you in your wholeness.
Listening to what you're not saying, seeing the unseen, and re-imagining the possible.
Challenging and pushing you so that you can expand your capacity, and uplevel you to your next level.
Lending you my tools and insights so that you can create tangible & duplicatable results that matter to you.

That said, this is not your typical journey to high performance and dreams come true!

Making your life your legacy is a gift of becoming you, willing to be willing to take the next steps of where you are meant to be next, ready to emerge in the world in ways that reflect the fire of your heart, knowing of your soul, and the magic of your vision.

For well over a decade now, I have been entrusted by highly accomplished, mission-driven, visionary leaders seeking to embrace a deeper meaning, higher purpose, and genuine fulfillment. Oftentimes after already ticking off all the boxes, always being on purpose, but running on empty. Because life after having it all is only the beginning.

If you are on an unexpected journey from a caterpillar through the messy goo into a butterfly, knowing deep within your soul there is more to life than what you are experiencing, then welcome home. It is my honor to create a safe sacred place for you to fall apart, not know until do, and move beyond the realm of manifesting and willpowering mountains into moving.

If you're called into this this sacred, cozy, and intimate space where you can turn your biggest vision into reality by luxuriating in deeper levels of personal development, time mastery, mental brilliance, lifestyle architecture, and business design....
Where we reimagine the possible and rearrange the pieces with newfound confidence and competence...
..let's explore how you can become a facilitator and a co-creator of synergy efficiencies that profoundly transform every aspect of your life, home, and business.

Podcast PSIHOLOGIJA VODENJA: “Kaj če bom jaz kriva...!”

“Najprej mi je notranji mir predstavljajo, ko sem obkljukala, vse kar sem si zadala. sedaj pa mi notranji mir predstavlja notranje zaupanje, ko enostavno vem, da je vse na svojem mestu, je povedala mentorica Sara Oblak Speicher!”

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/milankrajnc/episodes/Sara-Oblak-Speicher-Kaj--e-bom-jaz-kriva-e286gdo

Cilj podcastov: Psihologija je osnova vodenja in tega se tisti, ki izobražujejo vodje premalo zavedajo. Vodja je koordinator različnih osebnosti, ki jih mora voditi k istemu cilju in pri tem ne manipulirati, temveč ekipo motivirati. Vodja ni nekaj več, temveč je le odgovornost v timu. Zato v podkastu želimo preko zgodb pokazati, kaj resnično vodenje je. Vodenje je tudi naravni proces, ne samo dokazovanje ega. Zato pri oddaji ne naredimo zaključkov, temveč prpustimo vsakemu posamezniku, da si vzame tisto, kar potrebuje v tistem trenutku.

Yesterday, I had the honor of speaking at the Svetovni Slovenski Kongres about the experience, challenges, and opportunities of returning to Slovenia, with my family, after 18 years in New York.

Along with some remarkable and highly accomplished academics and researchers who have already done or are in the process of returning as well.

The common thread was obvious:

- Lack of career opportunities and competitive pay for highly educated, skilled, specialized talent.
- Inconsistent, frequently conflicting bureaucratic processes on a gov't, regional, and local level (a thing that we were told would take 2 days at the Embassy took 11 weeks plus we had to fly to Slovenia for a single fingerprint).
- Inadequate housing options for renting, and restrictive banking regulations that make obtaining loans to purchase homes near-impossible. We are personally still in limbo on that one... (BTW, real estate prices are now competing with those in London and New York!)
- Exuberant income tax that in some cases can be as high as 50%!
- Retirement, healthcare, and other systems, fees, and dues that are still structured for a static and not dynamic society (h/t doc. dr. Valentinčič).

You can read the summaries of all the presentations right here:https://www.slokongres.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/zbornik-konferenca-mladi-raziskovalci-2023.pdf

After the event, I was invited to share more for RTV Slovenia's Odmevi: https://365.rtvslo.si/arhiv/odmevi/174970053

The environment in which we can thrive transcends office furnishing and home decor just as much as the in-office and family dynamics. That's in addition to that internal environment we create through aligned and adequate mindset practices, energetics, spirituality, and physical wellbeing.

Sometimes, the only way to expand the capacity required to realize our deep desires, the most audacious dreams, fulfill our soul's purpose, and carry out our mission... or to simply move the needle after feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected for seemingly-ever, is by uprooting the life we've known and embarking on a cross-country or transcontinental journey.

It's not a coincidence that two of my clients relocated by thousands of miles during our time together, and another one purchased a new home soon after our time came to a completion (things we put in motion can last for a lifetime, some only come to fruition later on)!

My own family left the USA for the EU earlier this year.

And none of us did it after all of "our ducks lined up." We leaped first, and THEN everything started to fall into place. As it always does.

If you feel change is coming, if you're embarking on life-altering decisions, if it's time for a reset... to reimagine the possible, map out the new plans, activate healing and rejuvenate energy, I can help. We can get you started this July with a weekend in-person immersion here in beautiful Slovenia. Reach out.

Slovenski reprezentantki je vabilo v ZDA življenje obrnilo na glavo Nekdanjo košarkarico Saro Oblak Speicher je življenje po 18 letih v ZDA, natančneje dobre pol ure severno od Manhattna v New Yorku, znova pripeljalo v domačo Škofjo Loko, kjer je skupaj z možem Tylerjem, hčerkama Maro in Francesko ter dvema štirinožnima kosmatincema obrnila novo poglavje v ...

In the past few months, I've been working on something that helped over 60 individuals see the unseen, experience themselves in a different light, and reimagine the possible. That's in addition to my private work, speaking and workshops (plus managing & executing a cross-continental family move).

Coming from all walks of life, these individuals share a similar trait. Or a few:

1) Highly accomplished in their careers, they are
- either unaware of what they really-really do, and hence the gifts & impact the offer to the world
- unable to adequately articulate it.
Clarifying and solving this alone has elevated and empowered them.

2) Mission-driven and goal-oriented, they reduced themselves to the bubble within which they operate, and measure themselves against the industry KPIs that have very little to do with the power of these individuals' true magic.
Bringing this into their awareness is the first step to getting them off that proverbial hamster wheel (done in a way where they don't topple everything they had busted their asses off).

3) Courageous to step up and proactively work on achieving these shifts (or being forced into making them by life's almighty and mysterious ways), this has been only the first step towards puzzling together a new and multidimensional way of being. You know, the one where sacrifices no longer have to be made in order to continuously drive career success AND being exalted in loving relationships AND effortlessly floating around a happy home AND basking in awareness of & relationship with self.

Indeed, that does take work. But we're working hard every day. Mind as well it be towards that which supports, fulfills, grows and moves us.

Indeed, that takes investment. But we're invested already. Mind as well be in that which is in alignment with our destiny, that feels expansive, and is our truth.

Indeed, that takes time. But we already don't have it. So mind as well stop living in the past and anticipating the future with hoping & wishing, and instead take the only thing we do have - which is this very present moment - and anchor this deep knowing, vibratory certainty.

And of course, none of that is easy. If it were, everyone would do it. To live a life that most people can't, we get to choose to do what most people won't. To get freakishly uncomfortable in emerging this that calls us, that which is looking to be emerged through our presence, our gifts, our impact.

Reimagining the possible, seeing the unseen (and unseeing the seen), and redesigning the roadmap to it, it also requires expanded capacity. And activating healing is where we can begin.

Now, from decades of living this, studying it, and utilizing it in my own work, I have one more thing to add:

It surely is possible to figure it all out on our own. In fact, it might even be faster to go at it alone. And... if you're going the distance, if you value, desire, require more, an expert support within a Sacred Space where you can
- MANAGE THE ENERGY
- SHIFT THE BELIEF OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE & AVAILABLE
- RECEIVE MANAGEABLE & ALIGNED NEXT STEPS
.. then I offer you three paths of your choosing:

1- A trimester together during which you conceive a new relationship with yourself. It's a safe harbor to feel at home in life, not just exceeding in performance.
[3 private consulting/coaching calls & voxer access]

2- A weekend with me in Slovenia during which we reimagine the possibilities in new ways, activate deep healing, and wire your life.
Plus 30-day exclusive support to help you integrate energies & custom-designed strategies.
[VIP in-person destination retreat & visioning & healing & strategic planning & private coaching/consulting calls]

3- A 9-month journey to welcome new dimensions in life, home, career, while feeling at home with yourself. Plus extra 3 months of spaciousness & energetic support to facilitate integration, transformation, recalibration.
[VIP 4-day in-person destination retreat & private mentoring/coaching/consulting calls & healing sessions & on-demand speed dial access & Quarterly VIP Days]

Reach out to get you started. Together, we'll determined if we're a fit and which path is the best one for you. Keep in mind, none of these are your typical programs or courses. Instead, each of these frameworks and modalities gets to be designed and customized to you which is also reflected in the exchange. Meaning, this won't be cheap.

You know those deep desires and the most audacious dreams that feel so elusive?

Elevate yourself to match the frequency of what you're calling in.

How? First step is to be gentle with yourself, take a deep breath and stop alienating people & self-sacrificing in the name of results, responsibilities, reputation.

Or KPI-ing and outperforming your way into acceptance and illusion of safety, power.

Or compartmentalizing and burning out to feel worthy and deserving of what you desire.

Sara
Mentor

"God only gives you what you can handle!" is simply not true.

We're oftentimes offered & given way more! The thing is, do we have the clarity to even see it?
Courage to receive it?
And capacity to hold, maneuver, keep & grow it?

Just look around, how many people, whom we so gladly idolize and look up to, are actually falling sideways under the weight and pressure of the success we are oh-so hungry for?

On the other hand, how many are floating through their share of commitments, responsibilities, challenges, setbacks filled with optimism, peace, and fulfillment?

"When I have, then I will..." is a distraction keeping you safe, stagnant, in your comfort zone.

"When I become, then I will..." is a much better mindset, but it's still keeping you at an arm's length to what you're desiring.

You already are.
You already have.

Stop hoping. Stop believing. Start knowing.

And keep on moving.

Moving out of your own way.

Another thing I offer based on the experience I've gained from being in this game of transforming life, achieving the unthinkable, leaping into the unknown, building international careers, holding multicultural households (as well as from healing burnout and rebuilding a family - frequent victim of unconventional living)...
..since I was 12 years old kid playing ball across Europe...
..is what I know today as a 38-year old Mystic, strategist, healer, coach, consultant who's lived in New York for nearly 20 years:

It's never just one thing.

Like, just a strategy. Or just a mindset. Or just the energy. Or...

It's an infinite spiral. With a multitude of entry points. And countless possibilities.

You just have to dare to reimagine them.
To step into the spaciousness and timelessness where all that seeks to emerge through you, can. Because you are now available to it.

Yup, it might feel familiar. Perhaps you just don't have the words to express what you're called towards. You just know that what once was, no longer is.

That's plenty for us to start with.

Ready to feel at home with yourself?
In your life?

Can you expect the unexpected?

Come work, play & create magic with me.

Just warning you - it's not cheap. But neither are you, your peace of mind, and your legacy.

Sara

📸 makeup & filter-free, just turned my 7-year dream into reality despite too many "what if" and "not yet" and "what now." Together with my husband, our kids, and our zoozies. As a family. Because I simply knew. And never dared to stop.

I was that kid who refused to sign up for the scouts because an annual week-long camping trip was too long to be away from my home.

I was also that kid who was envious of latchkey kids because all I wanted was to be home alone while Babi was there to greet me with a warm meal every day.

I was that kid who begged my Bosnian-immigrant Dedi to teach me some language so that I could make Balkan War refuge kids feel more welcomed in our 1st grade class.

I was also that kid whom adults would come to for an advice, an opinion and open up to about life, relationships, dreams... including some of my basketball coaches, teachers.

Little did I know that I would end up living 4,500 miles away from my family, home, culture, on a whole new continent, for 18 years!

Little did I know that I would be the one who's at home with our own kiddos 24/7, in love with motherhood and homemaking.

Little did I know that my whole adult life I'd communicate in a foreign language (technically my 4th).

Much less that life coaching, transformational mentoring, energy management, business advisory would not only be what I get to do, but an expression of my life's mission.

There was no overnight success.

In fact, I now know that I had to leave everyone and everything I had known to find myself. And when I thought I did, I was torn apart physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, so that I could be healed, and made wholesome again. True me. All of me.

Along the way, I've always yearned to just go back home, but the harder that I tried, the more elusive it all got. Until I was able, willing, and ready to surrender the last piece of me, my ego, my safety blanket, the illusion of belonging.

I wasn't ready before because before, it would be a shelter. I am ready now because now, it simply gets to be the next chapter in a forward-motion. Not just for me, but for all of us.

What I am the most humbled about, is that I am not doing it alone. Not anymore. We are embarking on this new adventure as a family. Together.

I was that kid who was raised into becoming a fierce, strong, independent woman. Measuring my worthiness with numbers on a scoreboard, scale, watch, and bank account.

Little did I know that this attitude & drive would nearly kill me.

I have evolved into an elite performer who has softened into receiving, who feels safe at home with myself, and in my life. Who is exalted in my husband's love and in my family's support. Who is cherished by an intimate circle of friends.

And in this spaciousness, timelessness, and limitlessness, my deepest desire and the most audacious dream is being realized.

Courage & fear. It's always a passionate tango. The level of self-awareness & mindset mastery can certainly impact it... It doesn't mean you stop dancing altogether. It simply changes the intensity and shortens the program (and it also eliminates painful stepping-on-the-toes fiasco).

I'd say when time is the thing you already don't have to waste, and decisions you're making alter lives & bear long tails, investing in yourself is quite a no-brainer.

No, I am not talking about ordering another self-help book, tuning into You-Tube while cooking, or jumping up and down with 12,000 strangers in an arena somewhere far away...

I offer something much more sophisticated. Yet cozy.

Simple.

Expansive.

Truth be told, there are no roadmaps to who you are becoming. What you are here to create, cannot be done in a linear fashion and has little to do with chronological time. Rearranging all the pieces, reclaiming your power, and opening new possibilities requires more than conventional wisdom, hustle and grind... That's where we play!

Especially when you are an accomplished, unconventonal leader sensing that change is coming. Closing old and starting new chapters. Navigating life-altering decisions. Pivoting. When you feel fragmented and overwhelmed from all the work you've already done (but the pieces and possibilities just don't quite fit together).

If we don't know each other, lep pozdrav! I am Sara and I am many things to many beings. I offer 38 years of cross-continental life experience, ancestral wisdom and intuitive guidance. Plus 20,000+ hours of training & practice. And insights from working with hundreds of remarkable clients from around the world, helping them to SIMPLIFY their lives, HARMONIZE their homes, regain the COMMAND of their time, REDESIGN their businesses, and simply EXPERIENCE deeper fulfillment and genuine joy.

Happy to show you how.

OK so this just dropped in...if you missed the opportunity for a 3-day in-person VISIONING, PLANNING, and RE-CALIBRATING immersion here in the Lower Hudson Valley, Dec 1-3 opened up!

What can that look like?

1.) Activate and clarify your grand vision, align you to your next level, and create very tangible [next steps] to whatever you want and desire.

Examples may include
- a clear, practical, actionable [custom-designed strategic plan]
- putting pen to paper and write out your [fill-in-the-blank]
- redesigning the back-and front-end of [you-name-it]
- rolling up the sleeves and burning through [that's eating up your capacity]
- or simply enjoying much-needed healing, spaciousness & presence in this Sacred Space...

2.) We will also help you re-calibrate your mindset and rejuvenate your energy. It's is my favorite way to open you up to what's coming and help you to embody the sequencing.

3.) Additional 30-day exclusive access is the game-changer. Intentionally added check-ins can be used for coaching, consulting and accountability, support integration & embodiment, whatever you need to help you see things through with confidence & peace of mind. Especially in these distracting and ever-changing environments.

Travel and accommodation are not included in the investment of $12k, although I am happy to help with recommendations. And, I'll make sure our tastebuds are just as nourished as our souls.

When it comes to ROI and ROE, I won't make any promises because
- you and I have to first discuss what is that you're looking for;
- results are up to you.

What I can say, is that over the past 11 years of facilitating such immersions and intensives, and using these same (but improved) frameworks, strategies, method, etc... my clients have reported doubled and quadrupled returns and priceless life/business/career-changing results. See below.

So yeah, this dropped in, and there might be some flexibility around the dates. If this excites you and it has your name written all over, message me.
