Women Who Quarantine - The stories of women warriors from around the world doing their part to fight this deadly pandemic. 

Welcome to our second interview for "Women Who Quarantine" with Sarah! 

​Sarah is good friends with my sweet assistant, Tara. They met in DC and bonded over salsa dancing, great tequila, and deep conversations about the beauty of life!

We are so happy to have you with us, Sarah! : )

How is your heart truly doing during this uncharted time? 
My heart is genuinely a balance of grieving and grateful. 

What has been most challenging about being home?
Most challenging has been keeping up with the news without being sucked into the sensationalism. 

What is the best way to avoid information overload?
I watch my home state governor's briefing and the federal briefing every day. It gives me all the information I need...the rest is just talking heads. 

Is there any advice you have found helpful during your time of quarantine?
I’ve adopted a daily routine. It starts strong in the morning and is more lax in the afternoon. It’s most helpful on those day’s where I’m feeling a little down or lost in it all. :)

Is there something special you are doing to take of yourself?
Eating well! My favorite trick has been a frozen kale green smoothie (recipe below)! 

Hey, it’s quarantine… so what is your guilty please (PG-rated, of course ;D )?
Oh that’s easy, Double Stuff Oreos 🇺🇸

Sarah's Nourishing Morning Green Smoothie Recipe:

• Handful of chopped kale (fresh or frozen)
• 5 bite-sized pieces of pineapple (frozen)
• Half a banana (fresh or frozen... frozen makes it more creamy! yum!)
• Optional add-ins: extra ice, a scoop of collagen peptides
• Cover with coconut water
• Blend until creamy and smooth.
• Put a little umbrella in it, close your eyes, think sunshine and ocean waves, and sip away like you're on an island vacation! You're welcome!
