Stop Waiting and Start Building the Life You Want w. Sarah DeLeon
Description
This episode is equal parts entrepreneurship, motherhood, marriage, and courage.
Bunny chats with Sarah DeLeon to talk about what it actually looks like to stop waiting for the “right time” and start building the life you’ve been talking about for years.
Sarah shares her journey from commuting hours a day in corporate retail to finally launching her own company in 2022, after a decade of saying she would “one day.” The peculiarity is that the turning point wasn’t just burnout. It was her daughter asking why she hadn’t done it yet.
Together they explore:
- Leaving the safety of a steady paycheck
- Being the primary breadwinner and carrying that pressure
- Raising daughters who see entrepreneurship as normal
- The delicate balance between CEO energy and wife energy
- Building a business rooted in sustainability and purpose
- Why manifesting is not magic, it’s clarity plus action
They also talk about thriving versus surviving, celebrating wins out loud, asking for help, and sharing the dream before it feels fully formed.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start, this might be it.
