What makes Sarah Wildly Capable?
From the first moment I met Sarah, her zest for life and welcoming energy were unmistakable. Moving to Oklahoma as a single mom of three, she boldly pursued her dream of entrepreneurship, founding FreshFit 405. A fitness competitor and champion of women, Sarah combines ambition with heart. She embraces joy, play, and purpose, showing women they can choose their own path. She is inspiring, empowering, and a true light to everyone she meets. – MALORIE AVALINE
What makes you feel proud?
I’m very proud of bootstrapping a business that positively impacts my community’s health and wellness. I’m ridiculously proud of my three boys who share my love for serving others.
What keeps you up at night?
As a mom of three boys, I am often up at night worrying about things beyond my control. However, what truly keeps me up at night are thoughts about how I can show up and love others more intentionally and meaningfully.
Who is the biggest influence in your life? Why?
I have a business mentor who I am fortunate to call my boyfriend. His optimism coupled with my boys’ support has helped me realize my own unique magic in this world. They are my absolute biggest cheerleaders and while I get to touch so many people’s lives, it is them that I am truly trying to make proud
One year from today, how do you hope you’re different?
One year from now, I hope I’m an even bigger and brighter version of my current self.
What’s been the biggest obstacle in your life so far?
Without a doubt, my biggest obstacles have been my own limiting beliefs. I’ve been divorced, I’ve raised kids on my own, and I’ve started a business from the ground up... all of those experiences have had obstacles, but the biggest obstacles have been my own limiting thoughts and fears.
What’s the single biggest problem you’d like to solve in your community?
My passion is to help people eat better so they feel better. I would love to help lessen the confusion about what healthy, whole food looks like and help people take radical responsibility for their wellness so they get to live and love to their highest potential.
What advice do you wish you could give your younger self? How might it have changed your course?
I would tell her God planted dreams into her heart for a reason and that they were uniquely hers to move toward. I spent way too much time in my life thinking that big dreams were meant for other people. While I appreciate the timing of my entire life, I may have had an opportunity to understand myself on a deeper level long before now.
