overachiever
So glad you could join us!
I’m Lauren Del Sarto, a meticulous professional who has burned the candle at both ends my entire life. When I reached my 40s, I committed to finally achieving a healthy life balance.
At 53, I’m still working at it – and thoroughly enjoying the journey.
They say achieving balance can be a lifelong struggle, but I consider it an incredible adventure of heart-opening exploration. And it certainly makes you a better person. (more…)
A Curve in the Path
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on February 9, 2019It’s been a while since I reached out which hasn’t been due to lack of words to share. December was a blur getting the New Year issue to print while juggling family, friends and festivities… always a little challenging, but isn’t it so for all? With January came a breast Read more…
Compassion is Contagious
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on November 21, 2018You’re at a holiday gathering with old friends and new. The energy is high, the wine is flowing and the conversation grows. Before long, someone starts talking about another in a not-so-positive tone casting judgement on that person’s behavior, look or circle of friends. What do you do? Do you Read more…
What’s Your Release?
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on November 8, 2018There’s a lot of crazy in the world right now. It’s sad. Very sad. It’s sad that watching the news is unbearable. When politicians act more like children than leaders. When a husband and wife have to set boundaries before watching election results together. When waking up to another shooting Read more…
What’s that word….?
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on October 4, 2018A funny thing happened to me yesterday. I was out walking my pup feeling very proud to finally be back on track – over my cold, eating right, and back to yoga. ‘Stay with it! You need more….?’ I kept searching for this encouraging word that escaped me. The whole Read more…
Balanced Vacation
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on September 27, 2018Balanced vacation. An oxymoron in my life. ‘I need a vacation from my vacation’ is definitely a better fit. We just returned from a two wonderful weeks in New England spent with family in Maine, Boston and the Cape. We checked off items on our bucket lists: Fenway for Tommy Read more…
Weirdness lately? You’re not alone.
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on August 1, 2018Weird negative things happening lately? Maybe communication is not flowing smoothly or your computer is quirky? This morning, a friend of mine was struggling with a long list of deadlines and her company’s entire network down. Then I started losing emails and rebooting programs that wouldn’t work. WHAT IS GOING Read more…
Living FEARLESSLY
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on July 25, 2018Last night I had the honor of speaking on a panel at Mystical Awakenings for Women’s Empowerment Week on El Paseo. Four stellar speakers offered stories and advice inspiring those in attendance to live life to the fullest by dreaming big and not letting fear hold you back. Throughout the Read more…
The ONE thing you really need…
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on July 18, 2018What is the one thing you know your body really needs but don’t make enough time for? Why is that? For me, it’s yoga. I spent a good portion of my childhood in a Milwaukee brace (yes, the same one you read about from Judy Blume…a story for another day). Read more…
SIGNS you are (way) off balance
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on July 12, 2018OK. I’m way off balance. Ever happened? Maybe it’s a bad day where nothing goes right, a surge of undue stress, or a strange pain that comes out of nowhere. Maybe it’s a speeding ticket. That’s what got me this time… Last week, my Italian father traveled across the country Read more…
Make it a Journey
By Lauren Del Sarto / Posted on June 28, 2018Have you ever thought about taking a day trip to the mountains or the beach only to talk yourself out of it? It’s too far…I’ve got too much to do…I just want to relax. Next time, do it. In fact, grab a friend and make it a journey. It’s summertime Read more…
