94. Coming Out From Behind the Curtain: Reclaiming Sarah Lowell Harmon

Some announcements can't be planned — they just have to come out. In this episode, recorded on a walk (dogs, snakes, and all), I share a big reveal I’ve been sitting on: stepping out from behind the curtain of The School of MOM and claiming my name, Sarah Lowell Harmon, and the brand itself is transitioning from The School of MOM to The Home of MOM. This episode is part backstory, part permission slip — for trusting your own timeline, reclaiming your name (literally and figuratively), and understanding why the body is the only home we've ever really had.

Key Points

Why Sarah decided to stop waiting for the "right" timing to make this announcement — and the dating-life pattern that helped her recognize she was doing it againThe identity evolution happening behind the scenes: moving from hiding behind "The School of MOM" to fully claiming authorship of the Mothering Ourselves Mindfully frameworkChanging her Instagram name after six years, and why reclaiming her maiden name, Lowell, matters as much as the brand shiftThe backstory connecting her parents' 2013–2014 divorce, her own marriage that same year, and losing her name right as her family foundation "bottomed out"Why closing Parent Wellness Group and stepping away from the therapist identity was the first visible thread of this bigger shiftThe meditation that delivered "The Home of MOM" — and the realization that home isn't a website, it's the bodyHow this connects to inner child work, lineage healing, and the "unflourished daughter" pattern many women are unconsciously passing downWhy Sarah is claiming her lane more specifically: supporting women in becoming the mother for their daughters they always needed — by becoming the mother for themselves firstAn invitation to notice your own self-imposed (or externally imposed) timelines — and permission to trust your body over "doing it right"
