The Fight for Alignment: From Corporate to the Boxing Ring — with Sarah Cunningham [BEST OF]

Today we’re revisiting one of our favorite conversations from season one where Lucy sat down with Sarah Cunningham, an executive leader at AKQA and a winner of the Golden Gloves tournament at Madison Square Garden.

In this conversation, Sarah shared her inspiring journey from Ireland to NYC and the transformative coaching experience that helped her achieve alignment between her personal and professional life.

A lot has changed for Sarah since we first shared this episode, so next week she’ll be back on the show to give us an update on her journey! We’ll also be sharing a new coaching container we’re launching for our community this spring.

Before then, tune in to this inspiring conversation where we explore:

[3:15] Sarah’s career dreams as a little girl and what advice she would give that little girl now

[5:19] Inner Wisdom and how to know when you are in alignment with your values

[15:27] What happened when Sarah had the courage to integrate her two worlds and share them publicly with others

[19:19] Sarah’s story of stepping into the ring at Madison Square Garden to finally achieve her dream.

[23:46] The power of asking for help and activating your Board of Advisors.

[27:30] Sarah's final pearl of wisdom using a boxing metaphor of not staying in the pocket too long
