Dear Friends,

Hi, I’m Sara Avant Stover, and welcome to The Way of the Happy Woman™!

I’m grateful that you found your way here, because it means that you are a woman who really values herself and that you are committed to living a life of more meaning, fulfillment, passion, and, well, happiness!

In fact, it means that you are ready to learn what true happiness means—happiness that has nothing to do with external circumstances and everything to do with an inner state of being.

Everything that you see on this website (and everything that I do in general) comes out of my own direct experience of being a woman in the world today. That’s right– I don’t censor things. I include it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly, so to speak. Because these are ALL crucial elements in living a rich and real life. We need the downs to have ups. There’s simply no other way. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t be happy. In fact, that IS the very way to be truly happy.

I don’t pretend to be perfect or to “have it all together.” My life has been filled with a lot of challenges; but out of those challenges have come a wonderful depth of wisdom, open-heartedness, authenticity, and personal power that I wouldn’t give up for an easy ride—ever!Actually, my journey started because I had NO IDEA how to be a woman in the world today. (And, to be honest, some days I still feel that way.) But I’m committed to live from my feminine heart every day. And every day I keep learning and growing. I hope that’s how it always is.  I’m sure the same is true for you.

Whether you’re 22 or 62, whether you’re a stay-at-home mom or a power house business woman, size 2 or size 12, whether you’re single or married, widowed or divorced, blonde or brunette, you will find a lot of valid and accessible ways to deepen your spiritual practice as a woman while expressing your unique self in the world.  Whether it’s through yoga, meditation, journaling, cooking, connecting with other women, identifying your values and priorities, navigating the waters of your intimate relationship, or dancing in your living room—these are all ways to connect with your essence that empower and inspire you to live the qualities of your feminine heart in the world.  These qualities include: passion, com-passion, intuition, fierce love, softness, receptivity, fluidity, creative expression, unconditional love, and so much more.

If you haven’t noticed, the world greatly needs more of these qualities in all realms from politics to the economy to the food industry. When you take one step towards being true to yourself, getting to know yourself, and following your heart, the scales of the world tip more towards balance.

But don’t just take my word for it. Read the articles and watch the videos on this website. Or join my Virtual Women’s Circle, sign up for a coaching session, order a CD, or even attend one of my live events. Put the “rubber to the road” and try it out for yourself. There are ways for you to get involved at any level you desire.

Each woman needs to find her own way back to her own authentic heart. I’m here to help show you the way. You just need to step on the path.

When you commit to The Way of the Happy Woman, you commit to yourself and all that you believe you can be—not to mention all that you have ever wanted to be.

Life is short. You deserve to know who you are down to your very core. You deserve to be healthy, happy, and vibrant as a woman. You deserve to taste and to know deep inside your body and heart what true happiness is.

That is my wish for you. That is what I am here to support you with.

I look forward to our journey together!

With love and happiness,
