Unveiling the Magic Within: From an Ask Me Anything with Sara of The Sisters Enchanted
This week, we’re diving into a special session of “Ask Me Anything,” where Sara, the Founder of The Sisters Enchanted, answered questions from members of the Enchanted Journey membership. From finding motivation to keeping life magical, here’s a detailed look at the wisdom she shared.
Motivation and Inspiration: Fueling the Fire
One of the first questions came from Lori: What has been your motivation/inspiration for success in work and home life?
Sarah’s answer was a masterclass in finding purpose:
“When people lack a strong motivator, it’s hard to make progress.”
For Sara, the driving force has always been freedom—freedom to make her own decisions, live life on her terms, and avoid being boxed in. This desire took root early, blossoming into her entrepreneurial journey.
She shared the story of becoming self-employed while seven months pregnant after the small business she worked for abruptly closed. With no safety net, she launched her own business helping people with learning differences—a challenge that prepared her for the birth of The Sisters Enchanted.
But what really lit her fire? A moment when her husband, faced with their financial struggles, told her she’d have to figure things out herself. Instead of breaking under the pressure, she channeled her determination:
“I will show you success.”
Her takeaway for you: Find your why. Whether it’s freedom, passion, or proving someone wrong, let it drive you.
Keeping Life Magical: Everyday Enchantment
Anita asked: How do you keep life magical and enchanting every day?
For Sara, magic isn’t about picture-perfect moments. It’s about intention and perspective:
Ask How You Want to Feel: When life feels overwhelming, Sara pauses to ask herself not how she feels but how she wants to feel. This shift allows her to consciously align with her intentions.
Use Tools: From lighting a candle to pulling a tarot card, Sara relies on simple, accessible practices to ground herself. Journaling with intentional questions also plays a key role in maintaining her connection to the magic.
Seek Wonder in the Everyday: Whether it’s hiking, noticing the texture of tree bark, or marveling at the generational connections in her family, Sara finds beauty in the ordinary:
“Look for wonder. It will change everything for you.”
Patience and Grace: Navigating the Chaos
Melissa wanted to know: How do we find more patience with ourselves, others, and time?
Sara’s answer was refreshingly candid. She emphasized letting go of unnecessary control and remembering that most things aren’t as urgent as they feel. A mantra from Team TSE perfectly encapsulates this:
“You’re not curing cancer today.”
By reminding herself that life doesn’t need to be perfect, Sara finds grace in the chaos—and patience becomes a natural byproduct.
Intuition and Knowledge: Trusting Yourself
Another fascinating question from Melissa: Is our intuition only as strong as the knowledge we know?
Sara’s perspective reframes intuition as a combination of self-trust and a broad frame of reference. While knowledge enriches intuition by expanding your frame of reference, it’s ultimately self-trust that allows intuition to shine.
“If you don’t trust yourself, your intuition won’t shine.”
Her advice? Build self-trust through small, consistent practices, and watch your intuition grow stronger.
Hobbies and Self-Care: A Perfect Day
Theresa’s question explored hobbies and self-care routines: Do you have a hobby that’s part of your self-care? What does a perfect day look like to you?
For Sara, hiking is the ultimate hobby and self-care practice. Researching trails, exploring new places, and challenging herself physically brings her joy and balance. A perfect day includes early morning work, time with her kids, an afternoon hike, and a cozy evening of family games or watching hockey.
Her secret to aligning self-care with daily life? Intention. Even with a packed schedule, she prioritizes moments that recharge her body and mind.
Key Takeaways for an Enchanted Life

Ask How You Want to Feel: Shift your focus from reaction to intention.
