Hi! I'm Sara Parker.
Life coach for teens and young adults.
Growing up on the South Shore of Massachusetts, I was taught that goals were a matter of “how,” not “if.” I was a child with natural confidence and a wild imagination–always the loudest voice in the room.
I had a clear vision of where I belonged and what I brought to the table, and my hard-working, single mother had taught me to harness that sense of self into actionable steps I would take toward my goals in life. I wasn’t afraid to push the limits of structures and systems around me, or to challenge existing norms.
Like any adolescent, there were times where my confidence would wane. I noticed moments where I lost clarity, or felt like I didn’t belong as much as I once did. I struggled through some major life transitions like choosing a college and later moving away from my home, but at the time, I wasn’t understanding why.
​
As time went on, I regained confidence and became the trusted source for friends and colleagues, listening and offering tips and tricks to help them navigate their own transitions in life. Just like a strong power forward, my superhero strength is stepping in at the right moment, being quick and mobile, and adjusting the play for the success of my entire team.
I believe that everyone is made to achieve great things. But life isn’t a solo sport, and a good coach can maximize your individual potential. I founded Parker Playbook as a way to guide teens and young adults as they find and navigate their paths.
