Sarah Elizabeth lives in Rhode Island with her incredible children, Lexi and Joey. A CPA by trade, her life took a series of twists and turns that changed her perspective on life, love and home. She has found that her true calling is learning to see life through a lens of blessings, gratitude and vulnerability and creating a safe space for others to do the same.

When the White Picket Fence Is No Longer Enough opens the door for unguarded conversations about life’s ugliest encounters – and the most beautiful ones. Through Sarah’s removal of her own masks of who she thought she was supposed to be, others will be invited and supported in doing the same. Through unguarding ourselves as women, as mothers, as struggling humans, we have the power to learn to connect with others at their most primal and basic level – unconditional love – and that is exactly what this book will do for its readers.

Through the power of pen and paper, Sarah began to review her experiences with a sense of humility, gratitude, and grace. What started as a way of personal healing and reconciliation has become a motivating belief that there is power in the ability to self-review and self-accept that will have a lasting impact on a wide variety of audiences. As a mother, a mother of a differing-needs child, a divorced mother, and a professional, the journey from external expectations and demands to understanding herself and seeing others in their rawest essence will resonate with a diverse population who are also trying to find their way in this world. Through sharing her lessons on life, love and acceptance, her perspective invites vulnerability into our everyday existence, whether that be at work or at home, with strangers or our closest social groups.
