From Speech Therapist to Style Maven: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Sarah Bechard never imagined her path would lead from speech therapy to style consulting, but life had other plans. After years of helping children with speech development, she found herself at a crossroads when her mother passed away. This profound loss sparked a journey of self-discovery that would ultimately transform her professional identity.
"I probably didn't even know what the word entrepreneurship meant," Sarah confesses as she recounts how motherhood came first in her life plan. While staying home with her two sons, she experienced what many mothers do—a sense of losing herself amid the demands of parenting. But through this challenge, she began to explore her interests and spiritual gifts, eventually discovering a passion for helping women build confidence through personal style.
The road wasn't without obstacles. To pursue training as an image consultant, Sarah had to overcome a debilitating fear of flying that had grounded her for a decade. Armed with scripture and determination, she boarded that plane—a small act of courage that opened the door to her future business. Now celebrating ten years as a style consultant, she reflects on how entrepreneurship provided the flexibility to design her schedule around her children's needs while fulfilling her desire to make a meaningful impact.
Sarah's approach goes beyond fashion advice; she views styling as "an inlet" that often leads to deeper conversations about identity and worth. Her work has become a ministry of sorts, sometimes including prayer with clients when she feels led to address the pain she senses beneath their surface struggles with appearance.
For women feeling lost in motherhood or considering entrepreneurship, Sarah offers this wisdom: "Discover yourself. It's not selfish—it's important. All those things you learn will help you discover what God created you to do." Her story reminds us that reinvention is possible at any stage and that our greatest challenges often lead us to our most authentic purpose.
