EP 289 Big News Alert: Sara Mayer’s New Role and What’s Next for the Bold Goal Crusher Podcast

Embracing Bold Goals: A Journey Back to My Passion 

Welcome Bold Goal Crushers! 

Welcome to the Bold Goal Crusher blog, where we’re all about smashing through obstacles and achieving our dreams without the burnout. I’m Sara Mayer, your host and fellow goal crusher, excited to share my recent life transition, which ties into my core passion and life’s purpose. This story is about pursuing bold goals that truly resonate with our hearts. 

Life Updates and a Bold Step Forward

In today’s post, I’m thrilled to share some major life updates. I have decided to step back into the nonprofit world in a role that perfectly aligns with my childhood passion. This opportunity has led me to move back to Kentucky, bringing my journey full circle.  

Before delving into my professional life as a consultant, podcast host, and nonprofit expert, I was known as a ‘horse girl.’ My love for horses took me to Kentucky to train these majestic animals, and I even earned a degree in equine science. Life’s journey took me in other directions, but sometimes the stars align to guide us back to our true calling. Recently, while attending a memorial service in Kentucky, an opportunity emerged that spoke to my core passion. A position opened for an equine-focused nonprofit, and after much contemplation and research, I couldn’t ignore the urge to pursue it. I've accepted the executive director role at the American Saddlebred Horse Association, a perfect blend of my nonprofit experience and love for horses. 

The Importance of Flexibility in Goal Setting

This move isn't just about a career change; it represents aligning with what truly lights me up. Bold goals are often ambitious and can seem daunting, but they are crucial for creating a life that is meaningful. Life is ever-changing, and so must be our goals. It's important to set goals that allow flexibility and avoid being too rigid. While smart goals have their place, overly strict guidelines can stifle the boldness of our dreams. 

The Future of the Podcast

As I transition into this new chapter, I'm excited to announce that the Bold Goal Crusher Podcast will continue without interruption. I’m introducing a special takeover with some incredible guest hosts, including leaders, entrepreneurs, and fellow goal crushers who bring fresh perspectives. You’ll hear first from Katie Sojka, a brand photographer, followed by Jeannie Hawk, who will discuss the power of joy. This lineup promises to deliver valuable insights and inspiration. 

Additionally, I’ll be sharing my journey from Kentucky and updating you on my progress. Although my role in my business may adjust slightly, rest assured that my team and I will continue to provide valuable resources and content. 

A Call to Action for Bold Goal Crushers

I leave you with a reflective question: Is there a bold goal you've set aside? Whether it’s a childhood passion or something you believe isn’t realistic, I urge you to revisit it. Sometimes, bold and scary moves are the growth opportunities we need. Keep these dreams and goals in the forefront of your mind to seize opportunities when they arise. 

Thank you for reading and for being a part of this bold journey with me. If my story resonates with you, I’d love to hear about your bold goals. As always, keep crushing those goals without feeling overwhelmed. 

Stay tuned for the upcoming podcast takeover for more incredible conversations. If you’re interested in hosting an episode, reach out and embrace the bold step of taking the mic. Remember, the possibilities are endless when you pursue your bold goals with an open heart and mind. 

Happy goal crushing!
