Today I am so excited to share with you the first guest on The Confidence Crown, Sara Schulting-Kranz. Sara is one of the most inspirational people on the planet and yet her past experiences give her every reason to be otherwise. Sara shares with us how her life was not just affected but completely changed when she was raped at the age of 17 and became pregnant. She’s raised this amazing son of hers and went on to get married and have two more children. It wasn’t until 17 years later that she found out her husband was not only an addict but gay as well. Sara has faced all of this with strength and dignity and now empowers women to do the same.
This episode is powerful and serious, but it’s also uplifiting and the greatest example of resilience. I hope you enjoy meeting Sara as much as I have and I encourage you to share your stories.
What we’re talking about
Life Experiences
Life is simply one giant experience, but it’s also a series of many experiences that make up the life you live. Our childhoods impact who we become as adults and so often we are faced with whether we allow our childhoods and past experiences to have an impact on our future or if we want to let them mold us into stronger people.
You Are Not Alone
When bad things happen, it’s easy to feel like you are completely alone, but today we discuss how that simply is not the truth. Whether it’s the #MeToo movement or being raped or being assaulted, there are so many others who have also been through it and want to help you and encourage you to continue living your life and making it a powerful one. Sara shares with us how she now helps women who have been through betrayel trauma and what that looks like.
Living Your Life
We all have a choice in what kind of life we want to live and what experiences we will allow to mold it. Finding your purose and rising above what others have done to you is one of the most challenging things, but in the end, it will bring a new light to your life. Sara and I discuss how we have found happiness in our lives and passions that bring us purpose in not only living our best lives but helping others to do the same.
I am so thankful to have had Sara on as a guest and I hope you are feeling inspired and most importantly, not alone.

TIMESTAMPS
35:55 (36 sec - SSK) There were some moments where I was like, my God, you know did this happen? It starts to eat at you in a way that, not where you doubt yourself necessarily, but to start to really…rethinking; did this happen? Did it happen? Oh my God did I cause this to happen? Am I at fault for this? Maybe if I wouldn’t have done this or done that, might have just screamed more, whatever it is, there’s this whole…you take a lot of it on.
39:47 (14 sec – LH) It did take many women’s voices. It did take courage to speak up and it’s very important that we continue to talk about these things and we don’t belittle them because we need it to stop.
