Leave in Love Talk

In life, leaving is a given. We leave in big ways - relationships, jobs & careers, communities, religions - and we leave in small ways - patterns, ways of thinking, behaviors. But we are trapped by a cultural resistance to quitting.

Sarai Johnson ……………

Founder

first: a gift to you, a normal person bio

Sarai Johnson is a best-selling author, sought after speaker, and creatrix coach. She has nearly two decades of experience managing businesses, nonprofits, people, projects, and as a creative entrepreneur. She earned her Master of Public Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from the University of Oregon, and certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Book Yourself Solid® Coaching, 200 RYT Yoga Alliance, and project management, among others, and is an Emerge Oregon alumna. 

At home, Sarai enjoys her rambunctious boys, Kalevvi and Taavi, her boyfriend, Isaac Judd, and her dog, Penny, in their hometown of Eugene, Oregon. When she isn't creating, writing, speaking, or coaching, she is probably getting lost in the woods or floating down a river somewhere.
