Unlearning Success Myths and Embracing Change

Apr 21, 2026 2:43 pm

Hey, ,


This week on the podcast, we sat down with Sarah Bonello, who left a successful consulting job and moved from Detroit to a Hawaiian macadamia nut farm. Her journey is a reminder that the best opportunities often come when plans go sideways!


Key Highlights:

  • It Started With a Detour: A cheap flight and a missed bus led Sarah to meet a farmer who’d already made the leap from corporate to farm life. That chance meeting changed everything.


  • Overcoming Inner Doubts: Sarah shares that her biggest fears were internal—not from friends or colleagues (most actually admired her bold move!).


  • Lessons From the Leap: Her TikTok series, “28 Lessons I Had to Unlearn,” is packed with wisdom: take small actions, learn by failing, and remember that bravery is about acting even while afraid.


  • For the Plot: Sometimes you just have to go for it. Plus it will make your story a little more interesting.


Catch the episode for more on tuning out the “shoulds” and saying yes to unexpected adventure!
