AS SEEN ON
HI, I’M SARA SCHULTING KRANZ …
a keynote speaker, extreme adventurer, best-selling author, artist, sought-after retreat organizer, and single mom of three sons. I began my thought-leadership in making bold moves when I hit rock bottom, facing C-PTSD and trauma, in 2013. This was a pivotal time in my life. I quickly found that change is constant, but few really know how to bravely navigate and lean into the gifts that come with change.
With no one to turn to, I set out to navigate my change in the most unconventional way. I grabbed my paddle board and paddled the Pacific Ocean miles out to sea with whales and dolphins. I blazed trails through mountain peaks and canyons, climbing for multiple days.
What happened? I found the woman and leader who stands before you.
For 32-years, I’ve been diving into personal development, mental and emotional resilience, healing, and research. Through this work, I have distilled 5-key components to boldly making moves when faced with constant change. We use these key components when guiding clients on life-altering journeys of hiking, kayaking, and coaching through the Grand Canyon, Alaska, and Colorado.
And now, I share them with organizations, businesses, and all of you.
What’s really cool? They work.
To rise higher than we think we are capable of, we have to commit more deeply than we ever have before.

It was exactly what I needed to hear.
My friend said, “I’ll never know how hard it’s been. And you’ve done a damn good job.”
Nearly 12-years ago, I walked into my son’s shared bedroom late at night, looked down on them sleeping, and promised that we would get through this. Oftentimes I’d stroke their hair, and tuck the sheets under their chin before I’d sneak out.
Unbeknownst to them, our family was faced with a huge challenge, having lost everything. You can read about it in my book, “Walk Through This.”
In challenging times, you have two options:
1. Rise, or
2. Fall
Falling wasn’t an option in my mind. Not for me, or my son’s. So I immediately called their coaches and asked for help.
I couldn’t support my boys alone, and basketball and waterpolo were their loves. “So let their sports also be their therapy. Use it to get them better.”
IT WORKED.
On Saturday, I watched two games.
—> My youngest is a senior in high school and starting guard on his varsity basketball team, working to play in college. What a game on Saturday!
—> My middle son played his last game of waterpolo in his home pool, USC-University of Southern California, where he’s been captain for two years.
I wasn’t expecting the wave of emotions to hit me like that over the weekend. But jeez, did I cry. Alone, I took a few moments and reflected on the last few decades.
MY ADVICE FOR CHALLENGING TIMES:
1. ASK FOR HELP. 70% of us will live through a devastating time. Don’t go through it alone. Seek support.
2. THERAPY COMES IN MANY FORMS. For me, it’s nature. For my sons, it’s sports. For you, it may be writing or singing. Find what you love, and use it as fuel for health.
3. PROBLEMS ARE OPPORTUNITIES. My life shifted when I flipped the script on my life. Losing everything was hard. And yet, now looking back, we had to lose it all in order to gain what we have today.
It’s not about what happens to you: It’s about who you become as a result.
Agree?

We’ve all been there—
waiting for something to happen and feeling like it’s taking forever.
Whether it’s longing for a change, wanting out of an uncomfortable situation, or chasing a goal, the wait can feel agonizing.
I know what it’s like to want something so badly that the uncertainty becomes a source of frustration and anxiety.
Looking back now, I realize that every delay and every unfolding happens for our highest good. If I had known everything would turn out just fine, I could have saved myself so much unnecessary worry!!!
In this episode, I share my journey of learning to trust the Universe.
If you’re longing for a baby, a new job, a move, or the end of a relationship, trust that it will all happen in perfect timing.
Trust the Universe—and trust “Your Team,” the people who lift you up and support you through the waiting and beyond. You deserve people who bring peace, not chaos, into your life.
I also realized that gripping so tightly to what I wanted was actually slowing the process. Instead, I learned to focus on becoming the person I want to be and let things unfold at the Universe’s own pace.
Most importantly, I’ve learned to be my own biggest supporter, the first and strongest member of my team.
Always remember: “The Universe has my back and the back of My Team. I trust the Universe.”

I REFUSE TO DIE WISHING THAT I HAD LIVED.
Regardless of what you’re facing right now, you have a right to your freedom and happiness.
You have a right to your success and abundance.
Just remember, much of the world may doubt you only because much of the world doubts themselves.
Don’t allow any of that to stop you.
If you’ve followed my story for the past 12-years, you know the life transformation I’ve been on.
It’s gutted me.
It’s healed me.
It’s challenged me!
And I’ve become a much better woman because of the resilience that I’ve embraced.
You see, that’s the point of every problem we face, both personally and professionally.
✔️ Every problem is a pivot.
✔️ Every problem creates new, amazing possibilities.
✔️ Every problem we face is a growth opportunity.
✔️ Every problem creates a foundation for solving future problems. THIS CREATES RESILIENCE.
I’d never be on this mountainside, facing this glacier, had I not gone deep into my challenges and emerged a stronger woman as a result.
My hope is the same for every single one of you who are reading this right now.
What can you learn from the challenge or problem that you are facing right now?
Please, if you care to, share in the comments.👇

Are you a change-maker?
CHANGEMAKERS ARE THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO GO AGAINST THE NORM.
—> Change-makers are those who boldly walk where no one has been.
—> Change-makers don’t allow outside influences to determine their future, but rather create their future based on their own desires.
—> Change-makers may have fear, but shift their fear into excitement for the unknown.
—> Change-makers are LEADERS.
They are ready for others to doubt them, because they probably will.
Yet they don’t care.
Because others’ doubts become fuel for their own internal flame.
They know and believe that they have something amazing to offer this world.
And when they do boldly walk where no one has been.. When they do prove others wrong.. They don’t say a word to those who doubted them.
Because their actions speak for themselves.

I’ve become more protective of my personal space through the last few years. But then.. I do want you to have your best life, too.
Joe and I were having one of our deep conversations while on a walk. And I thought, “Oh, Jeez. My listeners could use this!” So I asked Joe if he’d come on. And he said, “Of course.”
Side-note: Find a partner who supports your work. It makes all of the difference.
So, here we are:
Happiness is something we all seek, but the journey to find it can be deeply personal and often challenging.
For Joe and me, that journey wasn’t linear, and it took a lot of inner work before we found each other again after 32 years.
In this week’s episode of the Live Boldly with Sara Podcast, we reflect on our separate paths, the work we did to heal and grow, and how we’ve created lives filled with clarity.
Joe and I both took time to dig deep into what wasn’t working in our lives before we reconnected. We had to confront our issues head-on and figure out what we truly wanted—and didn’t want—for our futures. We spent time exploring writings and teachings that helped us name the problems, make changes, and ultimately manifest the lives we desired. The hard work has paid off.
Now, after decades apart, we communicate on a much deeper level than we did with previous partners and are clear on our priorities. We’ve approached this chapter of our lives with more emotional maturity, wisdom, and love than ever before.
Enjoy.. And drop in the comments and let me know what helped you!
