I am so glad you are here.

Let me first tell you about myself....

I'm Sarah - Sarah Truman

(no e although I think it would have been fun to have True in my name, because I'm all about being the TRUE  you or as I say the WiLD you!) 

How I got here..

My story isn't about me creating the life I love from a place of unhappiness, or any life changing moment, but simply creating something new & different. It's a continuation of a life I have always loved.
​

Yes there has been some challenging times and BIG memorable events, AND I have always been the sort of person who takes responsibility for my life!

Looking back &  joining some of the dots to how I got here, I guess you could say I have always lived life on my terms, never taking the 'easy' path, but always choosing the path that felt aligned to my heart (let’s just say when I didn’t do this things often went pear shaped and FAST).

When year 12 ended (over 30 odd years ago) I was going to study law, I wanted to be a QC or a barrister (yep I always aimed high being 'just' a solicitor wouldn't cut it) ,

At the last minute something pulled my heart in a totally different direction & I decided to enroll in communications & social research instead. Most people (including my mother)  thought I was making a HUGE mistake. After working my butt off to get the grades needed for Law, I was now “throwing it all away” AND somehow I opted to follow my heart. 

About 6 months into my degree my heart was being pulled in a different direction yet again & after a few months of, do I - don’t I, I followed my heart.

I ditched Uni and took the opportunity to work as a photographer, (again much to my mums disgust) . However I was happy, motivated & inspired & that was and is always what mattered most to me. 

At 20 I had the opportunity to go to Cairns for a few months to train a new photographer. I jump at 3 months paid in Cairns - what 20 year old wouldn’t? Through this journey I discovered a love for leadership, training & development - and coffee!

I had the most amazing mentors in my life who really shaped me in this direction (thanks Adrian & Liz)!

Right then & there at 20 years old I set my sights on being the Australian Training Manager (yep there it was again setting my sights high). 

So many opportunities later, more travel, 3 years of managing my own studio, a junior role in the training department, 5 years in the UK division which included a Regional Managers role a whirl wind of recruiting, training, marketing and opening about 10 odd studios - I landed my dream job. At just over 30. It was time to come home & take up the role as the Australian/New Zealand Training Manager for the worlds second largest mass portraiture company!

But then something happened - it all changed!

I no longer had a game plan.

I was 35 & had no idea what next.

I felt complete in my work, my life,

but something was missing.

So with no game plan - I quit in search of something new.

The following day I walked into my local Yoga Studio, something I had always had a strong desire to do and life took on a new direction. 

I started working for lululemon a Yoga apparel brand and the tables were flipped and the journey of self study began. Previously the focus had been on business, developing and training others with very little focus or attention on me (years later I realized that this was my brilliant coping mechanism and trauma response).

3 years later I did my first Yoga Teacher Training and a new pathway was formed!

Almost 9 years later many, many, many trainings later here I am!

What I know now is that I have always been good at listening to my true souls calling - although there have been many moments where I’d didn’t know that’s what I was doing and many many many times I didn’t listen.

So this is how I got here creating Wild Child & CO with the intention of supporting people to live life on their terms. To overcome the trauma, self limiting beliefs, the expectations of others and to go after with all your heart the life you want.

My darma (my truth) is supporting you to wholeheartedly live a life you love.

We all have protective layers, stories & self limiting beliefs that we have created to stop our true selves from being seen and perhaps hurt. Although I can say hand on heart I have loved my life (yep over time I have even learnt to accept the shitty moments) I can also see how I have limited my life, self sabotaged opportunities and relationships.

AND

One thing I know for sure is that once we connect to our true self, we can learn to tune into our bodies, listen to our souls whispers, and from an open heart we can tap into our true full potential and step into the life we were born to lead! 

If you are ready to love your life and step into your full potential I can let you know it’s bumpy ride but one that is so worth taking - your inner WiLD child that is dying to roam free will thank you!
