About Sara Silva | Accredited Life Coach & Personal Development

Hi, I'm Sara Silva

Accredited Life Coach & Personal Development Expert

I didn’t come to life coaching by accident. I came to it through experience, responsibility, loss, and growth.

On the outside, my life looked successful. Inside, I felt unfulfilled and disconnected from any deeper sense of purpose.

For over 20 years, I worked in digital design, marketing, publishing, advertising, and business consulting. I held executive roles as an art director, CEO, and business owner. I led teams, supported clients, and carried the constant weight of decision-making. At the same time, I was raising four children on my own, without emotional, logistical, or financial support.

I did what many women do. I kept going.

Overworking became my norm. Burnout became invisible. And while I believed I was doing what was necessary to provide, the toll of constant exhaustion affected not only me, but my children as well. I was present, but depleted. Capable, but stretched beyond what was sustainable.

When my mother passed away, I did not stop. I did not grieve. I did what I had always done and buried myself further in work. Years later, I realized I had never truly processed her loss. That unresolved grief was quietly shaping my choices, my pace, and my need to stay busy. I made a conscious decision to finally seek closure. What followed was a period of deep introspection, emotional work, and personal growth.

In searching for answers to heal myself, I found something unexpected. I found clarity. I found direction. And I found my purpose.

I recognized that so many women struggle the way I did. They carry responsibility, ambition, and expectation while quietly losing themselves in the process. I knew I wanted to help women succeed without sacrificing their well-being, their families, or their sense of self. I wanted to give them the tools I had to fight so hard to learn on my own. That realization is what led me to life coaching.

Loss, Introspection, and the Shift Toward Purpose

Today, I work as a life coach for women, offering confidence coaching, mindset coaching, and support through life and career transitions.

I primarily work with ambitious women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their next chapter. Many of my clients are navigating burnout, negative self-talk, perfectionism, lack of clarity, or a loss of direction. Others are successful on paper but unfulfilled in their daily lives.

Through transformational coaching, I help women:
• Build confidence and self-worth
• Overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome
• Create clarity around life direction and purpose
• Break patterns of overthinking and perfectionism
• Strengthen accountability and follow-through
• Develop resilience and trust their inner wisdom

My clients redefine their personal stories. They gain clarity, confidence, and the courage to pursue lives aligned with who they truly are.

My approach is grounded, practical, and direct, while remaining compassionate and human. I ask thoughtful questions, encourage deep self-discovery, and guide my clients toward clarity and action.

This work is not about fixing anyone. It is about helping women reconnect with their own voice, their values, and their sense of possibility.

I work with clients both in person and virtually. I offer paid consultations because this work is a serious investment of time, energy, and commitment, and I choose to work with clients who are equally invested in their growth.
