Sarita Buer (00:01.39)
Hello, beautiful soul and happy 2025. Just wanted to ask you how has your last couple of weeks gone now that we are in a new year? We have transitioned out of 2024 and now into 2025. It's been a couple of weeks so far. Some people that I've been talking to have actually stated that they want to return on their investment from the year so far because it hasn't been.
as good as they thought it would have been. So just interested to know how your last couple of weeks have gone. For me, I, so I'm still in the East Coast as I record this episode. If you remember from my last episode, I was stating how I came over to the East Coast to be with my childhood best friend. And I've been here this whole entire time, just kind of winging it in regards to places that I'm staying.
This is the lifestyle that I've created for myself, being able to literally work from anywhere. And so I have been utilizing everything that I teach in my podcasts and also on my social media around trusting in the process and manifestation and being very intentional about manifesting. So it's been really fun to see how things have come into fruition over the last couple of weeks while I've been here on the East Coast and
being able to have places to stay and people opening up their homes and being able to pet sit and house at different locations and really getting to know the area a lot better than I have in the past when I visited my best friend. So absolutely love the DMV area. It's been fun to experience a winter here because since I was here for the Christmas holiday and then also the New Year's, there was not any snow so we didn't have a white Christmas.
But it was really fun that the snow actually occurred starting last week and it's been a blanket of snow everywhere that I go. So it's been really fun to just drive around and enjoy snow because living in Southern California for the last two decades, the only time that I actually go see snow is to travel. So either I go up into the mountains of California, which honestly from San Diego is not that far at all.
Sarita Buer (02:18.696)
or I will go travel someplace that has snow. So having snow in my every day during the season just isn't something that I experienced in Southern California, although I did grow up in the Midwest in the United States. And so there was, I definitely got a lot of access and experience to different seasons, including snow. So it's been fun to be here on the East Coast. So I want to jump quickly into the episode.
make it super short and sweet to be honest with you. I was thinking about sharing a lot more about myself as a podcaster, as a human being, and then also as a manifestation coach because I like at the beginning of the year to just kind of reintroduce myself per se at the beginning of the year. I've done that the last couple years of this podcast.
If you have been around for a while, again, thank you always for your listenership. And the last couple of years, I've shared at the very beginning of the year, the first episode that drops a lot more information about who I am as a person. Usually we'll give you some questions to ask yourself to just kind of set yourself up for success for the year to come. And I figured I wanted to do something a little bit different, but still share with you a little bit about who I am as a person.
and then also as a podcaster and as a manifestation coach. However, I wanted to do it a little bit more unique way and share with you a couple things. Number one, I wanted to share with you a few episodes that you can go back and listen to that actually explain or share a lot more about who I am as a person and then also shares my story that I've been experiencing over the last couple years and just in general.
So I'll be sharing with you a handful of episodes that you can go back and listen to to get to know me, Sarita, a lot better. And then also I'll be sharing some very random tidbits of information about me as a human being. And I shared this with my audience just recently. So this may be duplicate information, but I think it's really interesting information about me and kind of in a nutshell, some bullet
Sarita Buer (04:40.466)
that are interesting about my personal experience, like growing up and then also evolving myself as a human being into manifestation, coaching, and podcasting and all the things. So again, this episode's gonna be super short and sweet. And I will have the episodes that I'm gonna share with you right now in the show notes. You can go back and there'll be links. So you can actually just like click on it and go to the episode directly.
So you don't have to scroll through whatever platform you are using and make sure that you can click on it and just go and watch or listen to the episode that I am referring to. OK, so I have my notes right here if you're watching this on YouTube. So you'll see me looking down because I can't rattle off by memory all of my episodes. But these, again, are pertinent episodes that have been very important.
to me and sharing my own personal story of transformation, self-love, and healing. And then also have been kind of my higher episodes, like listening episodes, more downloaded episodes. So I think these are definitely a great way to get to know me better. And then also, as I've always said, and I think this is really very important when people share their story, when people share their experience,
through something, like most of the time, like 99 % of the time, we hear ourselves in that story. So we relate to that person's emotions and feelings through that story. And sometimes it motivates us and sometimes it just allows us to empathize with that person's feelings or emotions because we ourselves have been through that. So here are the episodes. There are total of...
It looks like seven episodes total and I will go through them in Chronological order. So the first one is my highest downloaded episode of my podcast and I think it's because there's so many people that have related to this experience regarding emotional wellness or mental health so episode 10 dropped and I don't have the exact
Sarita Buer (07:01.87)
date here, but it was, I believe, 2022 that I dropped the episode, sorry, May 2023 that I dropped the episode talking about my mental health journey. And the title of the podcast episode is called Proactive Emotional Wellness versus Reactive. I go a lot more in depth about my experience as an insomnia.
Also, what I didn't disclose in the episode, which I am now opening up a lot more about, was or has been my alcohol dependency. That was a contributing factor to my mental health and my inability to, I believe, heal myself at a faster pace than before. So this particular episode definitely talks a lot more about my health, my physical health, and then also
the lack of and then also, that's why I called the episode proactive versus reactive, learning that I came from the standpoint of being somebody that was reactive to my mental awareness and my mental health and my emotional health versus being proactive about it. So again, I talk about being an insomniac and then also all the other things and my anxiety.
and also the panic attacks that I experienced working in corporate and just the pressure that I was under. So that particular episode is very relation, like relatable. And like I said, my highest downloaded episode of the podcast so far. So that's episode 10. Episode 12 and 13, I think are probably number two in the highest downloaded.
episodes of my podcast because I share my journey of being adopted and then also my identity around being adopted. that those particular episodes part one and two are called outsourcing my worth, my adoption story. In those episodes, I share how
Sarita Buer (09:19.502)
for a long time, and this is something that's been an evolving thing that I've been going through and experiencing and healing myself from. And my biggest awakening in 2023 and really played out a lot more heavily in 2024 was seeking out validation and completeness in other people and other things. Being somebody that's adopted,
there's this experience that I've had, and I'm sure another a lot of other adoptees relate to this, is that we never feel complete complete because we don't a lot of times we are not in relation with our birth parents or maybe our birth land or however that looks like. And then when we do, we are trying to connect the dots along the way.
And then also because we are uprooted from our family at a young age, a lot of times we are constantly in seeking mode, looking for things to feel completeness because we've never felt necessarily all complete with ourself because of the fact that we are adopted and taken away from family and placed in a different environment or placed in a
new family and having different experiences that aren't necessarily in relation to, you know, the people that are, were blood related to. So those two episodes are really, really great to get to know me as a person on a very emotional level and all the things that I've gone through as a human being really relating all around my adoption story. And then the self-love journey that has bloomed and blossomed from that.
The next episode is jumping forward. And again, I don't have the exact dates or months that these were released in. But again, when you click on the show notes below and click on the link, you can go directly to the episode itself and you can see when it was released. My next episode that I think has been pivotal and supportive to a lot of people and also me opening up a lot about my own personal experience is episode 24.
Sarita Buer (11:48.088)
So the next episode that I wanted to share with you that I believe is very pivotal in my own personal experience in my relationship, and then also I'm sure will be supportive to you and has been supportive to people that have listened to this, is me opening up a lot more about my money healing and my money healing journey. Episode 24 talks a lot more about that specifically and me going through some very intense things.
when it came to handling money. I go a lot deeper into that in that episode, but in a nutshell, basically, I explain how I was living paycheck to paycheck for years and years and years. I was never taught how to really manage money. I think my mom tried to teach me, but I wasn't necessarily open to it. I got the projection of money handling from her as being a very,
frugal single parent and then that turned into me being like an actually avid spender. I ended up not only living paycheck to paycheck but was on payday loans. Not only that, I went through bankruptcy. So it was like going through a lot of different things that were very heartbreaking around money and I share with you some experiences. I share with you some
Thoughts and beliefs that have been with me for a very long time that I've been going through and dispelling and getting rid of and moving through and also that keep popping up in my current experience, but again with like limited beliefs.
Sarita Buer (13:29.806)
The next episode that I wanted to share with you is episode 24. I believe this episode has been very pivotal in my own personal journey of finances and handling money, and then also my relationship to money. So episode 24 is called My Money Healing Journey, and I go a lot deeper into the experience that I've had in relation to money. Growing up with a single parent, also somebody who was like super frugal, and then going into
payday loan debt, and then also living paycheck to paycheck, going through bankruptcy. There's been a lot of heartbreak that I've personally experienced within my money journey. So really opening up and sharing with you how that's impacted me emotionally and supported me in healing my relationship with money. That particular episode will be very supportive to you. And then also, of course, so you can get to know me a little bit better.
The next episode that I go a lot deeper into my own self-reflections is episode 31 called Seeking Completion, My Self-Love Reflections. So this is kind of in congruency with the episode 12 and 13 about outsourcing my worth, realizing that through my experiences in dating and having relationships, that I learn a lot more about myself as a person. And that was the
episode that released, believe, in 2023, that was the biggest, most profound moment that I had realizing that I was looking outside of myself for completeness. And so I go a lot deeper in that episode about my dating life and my love life and all the things. It's kind of a juicier episode, but you'll get to know my thought process and who I am as a person in that particular episode. So please go ahead and listen to that one.
So episode 33 is called Healing from My Healing. And that particular episode basically in a nutshell relates to how sometimes healing can get so overwhelming that it feels like one needs to heal from the actual state of healing or being in deep healing. And
Sarita Buer (15:51.22)
In reflecting on that particular episode, know now, kind of looking back at that retrospectively, I think it was because I was going through so much post my breakup, post leaving corporate, post bankruptcy. There was just so much stuff that I was healing from and going and...
Sarita Buer (16:13.334)
and moving through emotionally that I felt exhausted and very done with the actual healing aspect and just needed a break. So that particular episode, I go a little bit deeper into my self-reflection at that time. And I'm hopeful that it's supportive to you, especially for those of you that may feel exhausted or kind of done or over, like just a constant.
evolution and things that are happening in your life and feeling like when is this going to be done already? When am I going to be feeling okay again? When is this cycle going to end or when can I just catch a break already? That particular episode is really good to help support you in that and then also again it's a great way to see me as a person.
Okay, the next episode I think was super, super transformational. That was super fun to share. And a lot of you that have been following me on social media actually followed my journey both on Facebook and Instagram that I returned back to my motherland back in April of last year, 2024. And I did a podcast episode on it. So episode 38 is called Return to Motherland, My El Salvador Trip. I don't necessarily go into
the emotional aspect of the trip as much as I do just kind of relate to you some things that came to the surface after I was doing a lot of video journaling while I was on my trip. That's what I love doing is following me on social media. I love sharing with you like my day to day, like take, know, thought process and things that I like to soak up. And so I was doing that on my trip.
in El Salvador, just really like, and it helps me process information really well, is going on video and talking about it because journaling is an awesome way to do that and I've done that for years and now I've created this like video journal so it's really fun to actually share within an episode in a nutshell, kind of like what I was experiencing, what I was seeing, what are some of the themes that came up and again, it was a very...
Sarita Buer (18:27.242)
transformational trip because it was the first time that I visited my motherland the place that I was adopted from 41 years later I returned back there in April of last year and again that's episode 38 returned to motherland my El Salvador trip. Okay the last and final episode that I think was very very transformational and you'll get to know me as a person a little bit better is my journey with Kambo and Hape and that's episode 48. That was a journey
plant medicine that I did in October of this past year. It was in 2024, so last year in October. It was so deep in removing a lot of toxic things that I realized that I didn't even know that I was carrying around in my body. So that particular episode, you can get to know me a little bit better and like how I related to plant medicine. And then also like what came forth in that actual.
healing itself. Okay, so those are all the episodes. Super excited that I'm sharing. Of course, all the episodes that I share with you, I throw in a little bit of information about who I am and then my thought process and who I am as a person. So as being a podcaster, that just is what happens. I share more about myself in episodes. Even when I'm sharing.
experiences that I've had, like three steps to do A, B, and C, I'm constantly relating it to my own personal experience. I'm not the type of person that will ever share with you any processes or tidbits or any type of rituals or anything that will be supportive to you unless I've actually done it myself. Because I'm not the type of person that's going to just see something.
or read something and regurgitate that information, it's more about myself and who I am as a person. And this has to do with my astrology, my human design and who I am. Is that my, when I'm in my most highest authority is when I'm going through some experience, I'm processing the information and I'm sharing it to you as my audience, my beautiful audience, as something that I've personally
Sarita Buer (20:47.606)
gone through myself and that will help you through your particular journey as well. So let me...
Sarita Buer (21:01.102)
So to close out the episode, again, like I said, this is a very, short episode. And again, I will have all the information below in the show notes with the different episodes that I shared in.
Sarita Buer (21:22.07)
Okay, to close out that episode, I know this has been a very, very short episode, but again, I didn't want it to be this like regular cookie cutter like, I'm Sarita, this is what I do, this is how you can get to know me. I'm a podcaster, I've been doing this now, this is my third year in podcasting, super exciting that Back to Here with Sarita, the new manifesting paradigm is now in its third year. So I thought, what better way than to share episodes in which you can get to know me better?
So to close out this particular episode, I'm gonna share with you some random tidbits of information, literally bullet points of some things that I've personally gone through just so you can get to know me better as a person, and then we're gonna conclude it. So very, very simple. Here we go. I'm gonna read these off to you because again, these are some things that I shared with my audience in my email list.
Sarita Buer (22:26.518)
Okay, so to conclude this episode, I know super short and sweet.
Sarita Buer (22:36.17)
Okay, so to conclude this episode, I know this was a very, short one and kind of different, right? Like I think it was kind of cool to do something that was not so cookie cutter where I would be coming at you being like, I'm Sarita and I'm a manifestation coach and a podcaster. And this is how you can get to know me better by listening to a bunch of like information. I think it's really cool.
Sarita Buer (23:07.062)
Okay, so to close out the episode, I'm gonna be sharing with you some bullet point information that I think is pertinent in getting to know me as a person. Instead of this long drawn out story, I'm just gonna give you some bullet point random tidbits of...
Sarita Buer (23:29.774)
Okay, so to conclude the episode, I'm going to share with you some random tidbits of information that I think are pertinent in who I've become as a person. And like I said, I wanted to approach this episode in a non cookie cutter way instead of being like, Hey, I'm Sarita. Here's more information about me as a manifestation coach, as a podcaster, and have you listened to this long drawn out episode of, you know, just me talking about me.
This is a more unique way in me just sharing with you, okay, if you want to get to know me a little bit better, go back and listen to these episodes. And in those stories, you get to know me, Sarita, a little bit better. And for your own personal enjoyment, I'm going to share with you some random tidbits of information that I threw together so you can get to know me. But again, not a long, drawn out story. These are literally bullet points. And after that, it'll conclude the episode.
So here are the random factoids of Sarita. Number one, I am a Latino transracial adoptee from El Salvador. I left my home in St. Louis to move to San Diego back in 2002 with only things that I could fit in my car and I drove across country alone. I worked in a corporate life in San Diego for almost two decades.
In working in corporate life, I also worked in retail sales and bartending part-time along my full-time work for those two decades. I suffered from major anxiety, which led to five years of being an insomniac. I discovered meditation, mindfulness, and healthy eating when I was about 30 years old, which led me down a path of actually learning how to take better care of my body.
I discovered the law of attraction and manifesting in the late 2018 and it blew my mind that in realizing that I could actually create the life that I wanted to live. I left my corporate life in 2019 with absolutely no plan B.
Sarita Buer (26:18.954)
Okay, to conclude the episode, I'm actually gonna be sharing with you some random little factoids of information that I threw together in a nutshell that you can get to know me a little bit better. So I love that I kinda shared in this episode something a little less cookie cutter instead of me sharing a long drawn out story about who I am, Sarita, this is me, this is my whole long story like a book.
I figured the best way to get to know me is to go back and actually listen to some of the episodes in which I share with you a lot deeper about my journey. So this end part of the episode, I'm gonna be sharing with you just some bullet points about who I am so you can get to know me a little bit better and it's just a little bit more unique and a little bit more intimate way of getting to know me, Sarita. Okay, here we go.
I am a Latina transracial adoptee from El Salvador. I left my home in St. Louis to move to San Diego in 2002 with only things that I could fit in my car and I drove across country completely alone. I worked in a corporate life for almost two decades. While I worked during that time in corporate for those two decades, I also was retailing
in sales and doing bartending work part time.
I suffered from major anxiety which led to five years of being an insomniac. I discovered meditation, mindfulness, and healthy eating when I was 30 years old, which led me down a path of actually learning how to take a little bit better care of my body. I discovered the law of attraction and manifesting in late 2018 and it literally blew my mind in realizing that I could actually create the life
Sarita Buer (28:19.342)
that I wanted. I left my corporate job in 2019 with absolutely no Plan B. I broke off my relationship of eight years just because I didn't want to be in it anymore. I realized I had a severe alcohol dependency problem that had been with me for almost 15 years.
I went through some very transformational programs and ended up coaching for an amazing program called Launch Latinx for about two years, which led me into branching out and becoming a manifestation coach. I started my podcast in 2023 and now it's in its third year. And finally, I manifest a life that allows me to work from anywhere, travel, meet new people all at the same time, and really enjoy my life.
Okay, there you go. That is the episode. Very, very short. I really appreciate you being here with me. Happy 2025. And there's a lot more to come in this podcast. I'm so excited. One of my goals for this year is to put myself out there a lot more, meaning I'm gonna be on a lot more podcasts. So I'm gonna be on the other side of the microphone, which is really exciting. I've already started to do that because I have an amazing story to share. And then also just getting more people.
with the cross-pollination of different audiences is super fun. And then also too, I have some really great guests coming up this year. There's gonna be a lot more guests this year, so not as many solo episodes. So that's why I wanted to take the opportunity this episode, just so you could sit down intimately and you can get to know me as a person a little bit better. Always go back and listen to previous episodes. They're gonna be up literally and definitely.
