Jeff Goins’ Wrecked Vision Trip in Guatemala
Sara took a leap of faith out of her comfort zone by joining Jeff Goins and other strangers on his Wrecked mission trip to Guatemala where she served the needs of those who lived in the lowest level of poverty she had ever witnessed.

 

 

 
A Bigger Life by Serving Others
While she is someone who travels throughout the United States of America for her day job, this was her first trip to a foreign country.

Status symbols, career ladders, and family status are no longer the metrics she uses to measure the impact of her life. Listen to this episode to learn more.
