I’m Sarah, a therapist, creator, and founder of Joy Finders.

For years, I thought I knew what would make my life feel meaningful: partnership, motherhood, and the future I’d imagined for myself.

But as I got older, I started realizing that joy couldn’t stay tied to a destination I hadn’t reached.

At 43, I stopped asking, “When will my life begin?” and started asking, “What if it’s already happening?”

Around the same time, I noticed I wasn’t alone. Women everywhere were feeling disconnected, lonely, or unsure of what came next. Some were empty nesters. Some were childless, like me. Some had simply lost touch with the parts of themselves that felt playful, adventurous, and alive.

So I created Joy Finders.

A troop for grown women. A place to earn badges, try new things, celebrate small wins, and build a life that feels rich and meaningful exactly as it is.

Because joy isn’t something we stumble upon.

It’s something we practice.
