Sara Avant Stover is a business strategist, author, and Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa and Summa cum Laude from Columbia University’s all-women’s Barnard College, she had a cancer scare, moved to Thailand, and embarked on a decade-long healing and spiritual odyssey throughout Asia. Since then, she’s gone on to uplift tens of thousands of women worldwide.

In this episode, Sara and I talk about her profound insights on navigating heartbreak, the need to expand the heartbreak conversation, the cascading losses that often accompany individual heartbreaks, common roadblocks on the healing journey, the importance of seeking support, practices for healing, and so much more. Enjoy the episode!
