I get it. Overcoming the guilt of disappointing others is really hard.

I know you want to be a powerful woman who lives true to herself and makes decisions with confidence. In order to do In order to do that, you need to break the people pleasing patterns that have been keeping you small.

The problem is you've been prioritizing others' feelings over your own and seeking external validation for far too long. This can leave you feeling resentful and unfulfilled.

Every woman deserves to make choices confidently without the burden of overthinking weighing her down. That's why for the past 7 years I’ve made it my mission to help women discover what’s beneath those layers of people pleasing. Having walked this path myself, I know the profound freedom and joy waiting for you on the other side.

Here’s what makes
my approach unique:

  • I teach you the practical skills you never learned - how to disappoint someone else, how to have hard conversations, how to set boundaries—in a doable, step-by-step way that creates lasting change.

  • I help you work with your inner "good girl" to heal those deep-rooted patterns, rather than just changing surface behaviors.

  • I use the lens of feminism to help you understand your social programming, revealing how these patterns were never your fault but are absolutely within your power to change.

Ready to feel powerful in your life? Let's start with a conversation about what's possible for you.

    -Niha W.

  • Sara introduced me to parts work, which has been incredibly helpful. She keeps me grounded and connected to my body, assisting me in building relationships with different parts of myself. This has removed so much pain I've been carrying and didn't know about. Sara taught me how to feel safe with myself and truly love myself. As a result, I have much more honesty and closeness in my relationships, less judgment about my work performance, and tools to process my emotions compassionately.

FAQ’s

  • We start August 12th 2025. Be sure to book your free consult call before the doors close August 1st!

  • Totally get it — talking to a coach you don’t know yet, about something as personal as people pleasing, can feel… intense. You might be wondering:

    • What if it’s awkward?

    • What if I can’t afford it?

    • What if I don’t like the program… or the coach?

    • What if I feel pressured to say yes when I really want to say no?

    As a fellow recovering people pleaser, I don’t want that for you. Or me.

    Here’s how I do consults differently:

    Rule #1: You can say no—at any point.

    I welcome any of these sentences during the call:

    • “Thanks for your time, this isn’t what I’m looking for right now.”

    • “I need some time to think everything through.”

    • “This isn’t the right fit for me.”

    • “I think we’re at a good place to end the call.”

    Saying no is a skill worth practicing. This is a safe place to do that.

    Rule #2: No pressure. Ever.

    You never have to decide on the spot. I’ll always share when enrollment closes (for this round, it’s August 1, 2025)—but beyond that? Take your time.

    Rule #3: I share the price early.

    Within the first 10 minutes, I’ll tell you exactly what the program costs.
    Why not list it here?

    1. Because I want you to understand what you’re saying yes or no to—the tools, support, community, transformation.

    2. Because I offer scholarships each round—and I don’t want you to count yourself out before we talk.

    What’s going on in my head during your consult:

    • “How can I serve this person like they’re already my client?”

    • “What do they need to know to move forward—whether it’s with me or not?”

    • “This is an honor. Let’s make this worth their time.”

    • “A no doesn’t mean anything about them or me.”

    My goal?

    For you to leave the call feeling clear, respected, and honest—whether it’s a “YES, I’m in!” or “No, thanks.” Both are wins. That’s what liberation looks like.

    Let’s do this differently. Let’s do it better.

  • All live group coaching calls happen weekly on Tuesdays at 4pm PT. Our first call is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12th!

  • —24 live group coaching sessions
    —1 private one-on-one sessions with me if you join by August 1st, 2025!
    —Private Facebook community to connect with your group, and get written coaching in between sessions!
    (Not on Facebook? No worries— you can email in for written coaching too.)

  • All calls are recorded, and you'll have access to the worksheets and any other resources that I offer during the time of the class!

    You can catch the replay via video or private podcast —so no worries if you can't make it in person, you will always have access to the recording.

  • The classes are set up to rotate between teaching weeks (then you'll spend the week implementing) and the next week is open coaching (to work through anything that came up).

    Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover:

    • Understanding how you became a people pleaser.

    • The five steps that you're going to have to go through over and over again to stop your people pleasing.

    • How to use brain science to stop your people pleasing.

    • How to better understand yourself in terms of how you grew up (the roles that were assigned to you or that you took on, or taught about in each of the groups that you belong to).

    • How did you learn to get love and attention and connection and friendship and belonging by obeying those roles and rules?  


    We start with the foundation is because I have found that so many women tend to beat ourselves up and this builds the compassion we need to keep going.

    After we lay the foundation, then we get into learning and practicing the tools that we really need to be able to stop.

    You'll learn:
     

    • How to work with your inner child.

    • How to understand your attachment style.

    • How to have your own back.

    • How to say exactly what you want to say.

    • How to want.  

    • How to trust yourself.  

    • How to complete the stress cycle that we're in every day and end the burnout.

    • How to manage your time.

    • How to have difficult conversations.


    It's a really beautiful schedule that allows you to learn, then practice, then evaluate, come back for some help, and then get some more practice.

  • Not at all. The Facebook group is an opportunity for you to receive written coaching anytime you need it in between those class sessions. Not everyone likes Facebook and that's okay!
    You can also get that written coaching via email.

  • Reach out to my team at hello@sarafisk.coach and they'll help get you scheduled!

Here’s what people are saying!

  • The program content was applicable to all areas of life: relationships at home, at work, with friends, in the community. I enjoyed the alternating teaching/coaching weeks, and I liked the homework. You're an amazing, gifted and beautiful teacher and coach, and I think you already know that but it bears repeating.

    Laura

  • I had no idea how much I was people pleasing until I joined your group! Really, it's astounding. I'm still processing everything I've learned. What I appreciated most was the action steps you gave us regarding having difficult conversations- that's something I'm avoiding doing in my own life because I don't want to hurt other people. You showed me how I'm hurting myself when I do that by not telling the truth. Thank you!

  • The 1:1 coaching call was the best! My biggest takeaway was how common this problem is. I loved hearing others be coached also. Something important I learned was to let go of some of my black and white thinking. It was also great to learn by example: both what Sara shared from her own life and from other students.

    Sam

  • I started using your suggestions in my life and have actually been able to calibrate what I want to say and how I want to say it with direction now. There is nothing I would change about this course, it was brilliant. More of it, please! It was so nice to see how authentically you can bring this topic across. I LOVED that you showed us what's possible, and how you redirected to the methods at hand to demonstrate how they work. Thank you!!

    Katharina

  • I most valued having a dedicated space each week just for me. As a coach myself, I'm holding space for others all day long, and it's a gift to have Sara hold space for me. I'm becoming someone more capable of naming, experiencing and processing my emotions. After taking this course, it's much more possible to have self-compassion. When I'm feeling a big emotion, it's much easier to ask myself, ’How does this make complete sense?’ I feel like in just a few short sessions I've already upleveled my own coaching just from being coached by Sara. My biggest takeaway so far is that I can be more effective when I'm willing to feel the feels, and that my emotions have invaluable insights to offer when I'm willing to listen. I'm grateful for the work Sara does and honored to be her client!

  • This class came at just the right time for me. After taking this course, I now see the many ways women are taught to be people pleasers. I notice it now in movies, books, and everyday life. My biggest takeaway was the “pause” statements to give me time to decide what I really want to do. I now feel able to handle the thought that I’ll be uncomfortable whether I say yes or no to a request. I can choose my discomfort and be honest with myself.
