Sara in Real Life

Welcome to Sara in Real Life — where planning meets real life!

I’m a mom with a full-time 9–5, navigating the constant mental load of work, home, childcare, personal goals — and everything in between.

Here, I share how I plan, organize, and adjust my life in a way that actually works — not just in theory, but in the middle of real, everyday life.

This channel is about figuring things out as we go - building simple systems, creating realistic routines, and finding ways to stay organized without losing ourselves in the process.

If you’re trying to manage it all without burning out, you’re in the right place.

Because the truth is — life doesn’t always follow the plan… and the real power is in how you adjust!

“You don’t see things as they are, you see things as you are.” -Unknown

This quote really resonated with me, especially as I started my curiosity learning journey and began reading Joan Didion’s On Keeping a Notebook. The idea that we write things down not just to remember them, but to understand ourselves and know ourselves a little more deeply, stayed with me.

That’s part of why I started a curiosity notebook and Where Curiosity Led Me…a place to follow ideas, questions, observations, and unexpected connections.

I recently made a video sharing more about my curiosity notebook and how I use it (link below if you’d like to watch).

And if you’d like to join me on this curiosity trail and follow wherever the next question leads, come along for the ride and subscribe to Where Curiosity Led Me on Substack. Link in bio!
