What if the discomfort you’re feeling in your business… is actually a divine invitation?

After a nourishing summer sabbatical—complete with getting married and moving to France—I’m back with a timely solo episode.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve evolved beyond your current business or career path, today I’m sharing the 7 signs that you may have outgrown the business you built.

These signs are drawn from my own journey and the women I mentor—high-achieving, heart-led entrepreneurs who sense something deeper is calling.

This isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about shedding old skins, realigning with your truth, and creating a business that meets the woman you’re becoming.

If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to join me inside The Sovereign Shift. You can save your seat at saraavantstover.com/shift, or just click the link in the show notes.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Success Can Feel Hollow When You’ve Outgrown It

You’re hitting your goals, but it doesn’t feel fulfilling. That misalignment isn’t failure—it’s your next evolution calling.

2️⃣ Your Soul Might Be Asking for a Bigger Expression

Whether it’s messaging that feels forced, clients that drain you, or a vision that no longer fits your business model—these are sacred invitations to expand.

3️⃣ You’re Not Alone in This Transition

I created a free workshop—The Sovereign Shift—to help you navigate this with more clarity, grace, and support. You don’t have to do it alone.

What if some of the energy you’re carrying… isn’t actually yours?

As part of our special summer sabbatical series, I’m sharing conversations that have expanded my understanding of healing in profound ways—and today’s episode with Robert Falconer is one of the most paradigm-shifting.

A longtime IFS practitioner, teacher, and co-author of Many Minds, One Self, Robert brings a grounded and deeply compassionate approach to one of the more mysterious elements of internal work: working with foreign energies.

This isn’t about labeling parts as bad or broken. It’s about exploring the possibility that some burdens may have been taken on from outside your system—and learning how to release them with care, consent, and clarity.

Whether you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns that don’t feel like yours, sensed something “off” inside, or simply want to expand your perspective on what healing can look like, this episode is an open-hearted invitation to explore what’s possible.

1️⃣ Some Energies Aren’t Yours to Carry

Robert explains the concept of unattached burdens and non-native parts in IFS—and how recognizing them can open up new levels of healing and freedom.

2️⃣ Your System Knows How to Discern

We explore how the Self can recognize, relate to, and release foreign energies—not through fear, but through clarity, compassion, and inner leadership.

3️⃣ You’re Not Broken—You’re Just Holding Too Much

This conversation offers a powerful reminder that much of what we struggle with isn’t a personal failing—it’s often a sign of what we’ve absorbed, inherited, or tried to carry for others.

What if the thing your healing journey has been missing… is other people?

As part of our special summer sabbatical series, I’m sharing conversations that have transformed not just how I work with clients—but how I think about healing itself. And this episode with Chris Burris is one of the most expansive.

Chris is a senior IFS trainer, therapist, and group work facilitator who brings decades of wisdom into how we heal—together. In this episode, we explore the profound impact of IFS group work, and why real transformation often unfolds in relationship, not isolation.

This isn’t about performing in a circle or fixing each other. It’s about creating a safe space where parts can feel seen, accepted, and supported—sometimes for the first time.

Whether you’re longing for more connection, leading your own groups, or exploring new edges of your healing, this conversation will remind you: you’re not meant to do this alone.

1️⃣ Group Healing is Nervous System Healing

Chris explains how group spaces—when rooted in safety and Self-energy—can deeply support regulation, trust, and relational repair.

2️⃣ You Don’t Have to Have it All Together

We explore how group work invites your full humanity—not just your polished parts—and why that can be the most healing experience of all.

3️⃣ Connection is a Catalyst for Transformation

IFS group work isn’t about advice-giving—it’s about presence. And often, just being witnessed in your truth is enough to shift everything.

This episode is a gentle, powerful invitation to open your heart to healing in community.

Because your parts were never meant to do it all alone—and neither were you.
