Breaking Through Ourselves First to Change Everything Else with Sarah Tugender

06/01/21 • 29 min

One of the things Sarah Tugender always knew was that she didn't want to be put in a box, and that's why she chose entrepreneurship. Still, she realized that people would still put her in a box when she decided to be an influencer to make a stream of revenue from everything she was selling. Therefore, she thought, to change our circumstances, we must change the people around us, our atmosphere. But we can't (and perhaps we shouldn't) change people; the solution then might be to swap them out for new people.

Sarah's breakthrough is that the transformation must start with her before it does with anything else; that was one of the hardest lessons she learned: it must be in her first.

Today's guest is Sarah Tugender; she is a Trainer, Speaker, Internet Marketer, Entrepreneur, Wife, and Mother of 3 kids. She holds a BS in Mass Communication and Public Relations from Boston University. Sarah was born when her father was a first-year medical student, and she grew up in hospitals and healthcare practices, playing with her dolls in the break room of the Sinai Hospital. For 15 years, Sarah combined her passion for healthcare and communications and marketing to create dozens of systems and processes designed to free time in practitioners' schedules and avoid burnout.

In this episode, we talked about Sarah's breakthrough, how she came to it, her relationship with her father, and how was the experience of growing up playing in hospitals. Sarah kindly shared her vision on balance in life, instinct, and staying in a visionary role. We also talked about how she manages to succeed in her career and be present for her three kids and husband. We talked about her rituals and the learnings she took from her job to her personal life.

How did you get started with the nutraMetrix business? (12:10)
How are you managing the time you spend working and the time you dedicate to your family? (19:11)
