About Sarina

Hello, Friend!

I want to take a second to thank you for being here! My mission is to cultivate holistic (and realistic) mental well-being for the modern woman through intentional education, meaningful connection, and creative (and useful!) resources.

Our Values: Curiosity, Intention, Gratitude, Creativity, Enthusiasm.

My Name is Sarina…

…and I am proudly SO many things!

I’m a counselor, creator, advocate, writer, traveler, educator, cystic fibrosis thriver, personal development junkie, entrepreneur & connector (and much much more!)

I am passionate about helping others find greater well-being, prioritize their mental health, and build meaningful lives. We are all soooooo many things, and it’s my goal to help you LIVE LIFE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

About Me:

My name is Sarina and I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my wonderful partner, Kasey.

I am a multi-passionate person…which means I do a variety of creative things! Among the many, I am a school counselor, slow-living advocate, writer, creator, and above all, CONNECTOR.

I absolutely love to connect with and get to know people, and I believe that this honest connection helps to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery…some of my other lifelong loves.

I continue to connect and create content around mental well-being, personal growth and intentional living… LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT. I hope to inspire YOU to learn a little more about how amazing you are and find ways to use those strengths to their fullest for the betterment of both people and planet.

I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and am a licensed school counselor. I absolutely love connecting with and serving others in this meaningful way and find that the social-emotional, career, and mental health topics that I connect with students about are ALSO very applicable to us adults! My blog is a place where I connect my professional skills to my personal interests of self-discovery, intentional/slow-living, conscious lifestyle, travel, and more!

fUn Facts:

When I’m not connecting, creating or learning, you can usually find me on an adventure. I’m an explorer at heart, whether that means exploring my own city or galavanting around the world with Kasey.

When I’m at home, I’m usually playing guitar, going on nature walks, watching the most recent teen Netflix series (Gossip Girl Forever) or trying out new crafts and hobbies. I’m a vegan and enjoy finding new ways to live simply and sustainably. 

If I could be anywhere, I’d be on the beach listening to the ocean waves. While I’m midwestern born and raised, I will live by the beach someday… just watch me!

Motivation:

I have Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic and progressive lung disease that I was born with, and this is a huge motivator in my life. While I work hard to not allow CF to be my whole identity, I am proud of this part of me and how it continues to motivate me to strive to be my best self, live my best life, and make a positive impact. 

Tidbits:

In 2018, I self-published The Guide to Gusto: 20 Ways to Learn, Love & Leverage Yourself to Unlock a Life of Happiness, Purpose & Productivity.  Since then, I’ve continued to create content in line with my mission to connect and grow. Most recently, I’ve published my Adventure Journal: A Creative Travel Journal for Adventours Souls, available on Amazon. I hope you’ll come along this awesome journey with me!

xoxo,
