Welcome to NO-BS Strategy Coaching

Take These 3 Simple Steps...

AWARENESS

Stop dancing around tough topics!

We’ll uncover the deep-down

truths you’ve been avoiding—

no sugarcoating, no fluff.

Think of it as taking off the Spanx and letting it all hang out.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Blame-shifting? Not here!

This is where you take back your power by owning your part.

Identify the swirling patterns fueling your fire and create a plan to break them.

ACTION

This is the game-changer.

We don’t just talk about solutions; we implement them.

My strategies are simple and designed to get you into intentional action.

3 Simple Steps... Only You Can Take the First One!

How strategy coaching is different and why it works!

It’s root-focused

not symptom-bandaging.

We unpack what’s really driving your stuck patterns ...

Without judgment, shame,

or over-analysis.

It’s raw, real, and

radically honest.

Ditch the emotional Spanx.

No masks. No performance.

Just the real you...

Finally seen and heard.

Blends lived experience, with unconventional healing.

Think: somatic practices, recovery wisdom, boundaries work, and nervous system support...

Minus the clinical coldness.

Meet Your Strategy Coach


A Gen X woman, social worker, survivor, and

the no-BS coach you didn’t know you needed.

I’ve walked through trauma, addiction, burnout, and parenting a medically complex child, all while trying to live under the weight of “doing it all” without falling apart.

Spoiler:

I was crumbling before I fell apart.

And that breakdown became my breakthrough.

I combine 25 years of clinical training as a social worker with raw, lived experience to help women like you get unstuck, un-numbed, and unapologetically free.

My superpower?


Cutting through the emotional noise to
get to the root of what’s really going on, and guiding you toward healing that doesn’t require perfection, performance, or pretending.

✔️ The Butterfly Breakthrough is a coaching experience designed for women stuck in survival mode who are ready for real relief, not just “coping.”


✔️ I support and educate on alternative healing paths, including
Medical Marijuana and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, because traditional talk therapy isn’t the only way.


✔️ My coaching is heart-deep, judgment-free, and
radically empowering.

I don’t dance around the dark and twisty.

I offer fierce compassion, real tools, and a path back to your truest self... without shame.


I'm Sarah Shaffer!

Your Real and Raw

Life Strategy Coach

Alternative,

The Dumpster Fire Diaries:

Get Off the Hot Mess Express

Is it a memoir, a workbook, or a self-help roadmap?

It’s all three, duct-taped together with

truth, sarcasm, strategy, and soul.

In my debut book I dive into topics that most...

Avoid like the plague.

Raw stories that make you feel seen (not judged)

Tools that actually help you calm the chaos

One-liners that hit harder than your last therapy bill

I wrote this book for EVERY woman who’s ever said:

WTF am I doing with my life?

How did I become ringleader of this circus?

Is it just me, or am I completely losing it?

Spoiler alert:

It’s not just you.

And you’re not losing it.

You’re just fried mentally and physically.
