Sarah Centrella’s journey to becoming a life coach and motivational speaker is a testament to the power of embracing unexpected paths.
After her blog went viral, she discovered a passion for empowering others, which led her to leave her corporate job in 2017 and pursue coaching full-time. With her proven Centrella Method, Sarah has been helping people around the world manifest their dream lives by removing subconscious blocks and aligning their beliefs with their goals.
In this interview with MysticMag, she shares her insights on authenticity, success, and the transformative power of self-belief.
What inspired you to start your journey as a life coach and motivational speaker?
It’s funny because I always say that this job chose me—I didn’t choose it. I was in corporate sales, climbing the ladder, and blogging about how I was turning my life around when my blog went viral, and people started coming to me for life advice. For several years, I shared my tips and tools on my blog as a passion project, never imagining it could become a career. Eventually, I realized that coaching and empowering people to change their lives was more than a passion—it was a calling. I left corporate in 2017 and have been coaching, speaking, and writing books full-time ever since.
Can you tell us about the core message behind your bestselling books?
All three of my books provide tools, tips, and strategies for living your dream life. My first book, Hustle Believe Receive, lays out an 8-step plan to turn any dream, goal, or vision into reality. It also shares 50 inspiring stories from real people and celebrities who’ve transformed their lives using these tools. My second book, #futureboards, is my detailed guide to manifesting the life you want. And my latest book, All the Things I Wish I Knew, offers 80 life lessons for women.
How does your coaching approach help people manifest their dream life?
My Centrella Method is a proven 9-step process I’ve been teaching for over a decade, helping people around the world manifest their dream lives. It includes steps like DreamIT, ThinkIT, DoIT, and SeeIT, which guide people in identifying what they want in all areas of their lives and creating a clear vision for it.
It teaches how to remove subconscious blocks that hinder success, retrain thinking and beliefs to align with desired outcomes, and turn dreams into a physical futureboard. Each step plays a specific role in making this process more effective than any other manifesting method out there.
What role does authenticity play in personal growth and success?
It’s everything. If you’re not being honest with yourself, none of this will work. You need to be real about what you want, what’s holding you back, and what feels aligned with who you truly are.
My coaching process is all about uncovering those answers and connecting with your most authentic self. If you’re not authentic, you’ll end up creating a future that won’t genuinely make you happy.
Can you share a powerful success story from someone who’s taken your course?
I have hundreds! Clients have manifested the love of their lives, overcome infertility to have children, earned promotions, started businesses, received raises, written books, traveled internationally, flown on private jets, and won awards. But what I’m most proud of is the transformation in their self-belief.
They’ve removed limiting beliefs, built genuine confidence, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased happiness and life balance. This work can and will change every part of your life. If you’d like to see some unsolicited testimonials, visit www.sarahcentrella.com/testimonials.
What’s the most important first step for someone looking to transform their life?
They have to be willing to change it. Many people think they are, but when it comes to doing the work, they’d rather stay stuck in their old life. For someone truly ready to make a change, the first step is to ask themselves: What do I want instead? What do I honestly want in all areas of my life? If I could have anything and everything my heart desires, could I name those desires? Answering these questions opens up the space for change. Once you know what you want and allow yourself to get excited about the possibility of getting it, the rest is simply execution.
