Why Saying No Can Be the Bravest Move with Sarah Boxx

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Sarah Boxx, a consultant, coach, and lifelong problem-solver who thrives on curiosity and the drive to help people achieve what once seemed impossible.

From orchestrating childhood matchmaking to taking a spontaneous road trip to the Olympics as a teenager, Sarah has always embraced the challenge of turning “what if” into “let’s do it.” She shares how her unconventional path—working, building businesses, and eventually completing her master’s in pastoral counseling at 45—shaped her unique approach to leadership, coaching, and nonprofit consulting.

Sarah opens up about her faith journey, her love for building sustainable organizations, and the parallels she’s discovered between nonprofits and for-profit businesses. With stories of resilience, risk-taking, and relentless belief in possibility, she reveals why true impact comes from aligning values with action—and why sometimes the bravest move is saying “no” when it doesn’t serve the mission.

This conversation is packed with insights on purpose-driven leadership, staying curious, and creating meaningful impact, whether in business, nonprofits, or everyday life.
