Today’s guest is someone who wears many hats—and wears them all with grit and grace. Sara Hathaway is an author, a passionate survivalist, a dedicated wife and mom, and a fierce advocate for mental and physical preparedness.

Through her powerful fiction series, The Changing Earth, Sara weaves thrilling stories that not only entertain but also educate readers about the importance of resilience and self-reliance. Her belief? With the right mindset and skills, you can face any challenge life throws your way.

Sara lives with her husband and two sons in the beautiful pine forests of East Texas, where they enjoy spending time outdoors—hiking, camping, and soaking in the natural beauty together. When she’s not writing or enjoying time with Family, Sara leads self-defense and anti-kidnapping seminars, empowering others to feel strong and secure. She also brings stories to life as the producer of The Changing Earth Audio Drama and host of The Changing Earth Podcast.

Sara currently lives in the piney forest of East Texas. As a happily married woman with two boys, she takes delight in quality family time spent hiking and camping. She instructs others in self-defense and anti-kidnapping seminars. Besides writing and fighting, she produces The Changing Earth Audio Drama and hosts The Changing Earth Podcast.

I’m thrilled to welcome the fearless and inspiring Sara Hathaway to the show!

Quotes by Sara:

“I look the devil in the eye every day.”

“Be situationally aware.”
