Welcome to another episode of the Women in the Middle podcast!

Join us as we meet Sara Petroff, a creative entrepreneur sold her business and found herself. She made an incredibly difficult decision to sell a successful art gallery business after 20 years. It was a hard road back, but she eventually rediscovered herself and her core gifts and talents as an interior designer in midlife.

The transition in her career from a direction she knew to a direction she didn’t know became pretty debilitating. It was surprisingly difficult for Sara to see her way to the other side. She had completely lost touch with who she really was at her core.

During her midlife funk, Sara had absolutely no awareness of her gifts and the way she was meant to contribute. But, the combination of honest introspection, supportive friends, family, kindness and therapy became the pillars of support that helped propel her through to the next amazing phase of her life.

Moving through fear helped her change the lens that she saw her life through; her courage eventually opened the door to possibility and opportunity that she couldn’t even imagine. She now enjoys a completely different and successful, creative entrepreneurial direction as a highly regarded designer and loves her new life.
