Communication & Mindset Coach Sarah Mikutel

Thrive through Stoic wisdom, better communication, and global exploration. Host Sarah Mikutel is a communication coach and American expat in England who's here to help you make the most of your brief time on Earth. Memento mori. It’s time to make every moment matter.

Live Without Borders: A Stoic Podcast for Traveling Citizens of the World

We often have something meaningful to say – but the way we say it can get in the way. We overload our listener with backstory, hoping to make them understand, and end up muddying the message instead. In this episode, I explore why this happens and how a small shift in how we speak can make a big difference.

I’m your host, Sarah Mikutel, a communication and mindset coach. My work is about helping people like you share your voice, strengthen your relationships, and have more fun.

As an American expat living in the U.K., I value curiosity, courage, and joy. A few things I love: wandering European streets in search of the best vegetarian meal, practicing Italian, and helping my clients design lives that feel rich and meaningful.

If you're ready to have conversations that open doors – in your career, your relationships, and your life – let’s talk.

Feeling on edge lately? You’re not alone.

What if I created a membership where we’ll practice techniques I use with my one-to-one clients to calm the nervous system – and have fun while we’re at it.

Get to the Point

Carrie Bradshaw used to feel relatable. Now we accuse her of being unhinged.

But maybe that says more about us than it does about her.

Cut Carrie Some Slack: Stoic Musings on Sex and the City

We’ve all had those moments where an insult or offhand comment sticks in our head. Hours later, we’re still replaying it, wishing we’d come up with the perfect comeback. But what if the strongest response isn’t a clever line at all?

In this episode, I explore what the Stoics – and even a surprising scene from Gladiator 2 – can teach us about handling insults and keeping our peace of mind. You’ll hear:

 • Why chasing the “upper hand” keeps us stuck.
 • How Epictetus, a former slave turned philosopher, framed the danger of being ruled by our emotions.
 • A personal story about how even a small, everyday slight can get under our skin – and what to do about it.
 • Practical tools to stay grounded when you feel like punching someone.

You've Changed. Let's Honor That.

I finally became a British citizen after years of putting it off – not because I didn’t qualify, but because perfectionism kept slowing me down. 

In this episode, I share the real reason I delayed, what happened when I shifted my focus from “perfect” to “done,” and revisit how the concept of maximizers vs. satisficers can help you move forward in your life.

Keep Your Eye on the Prize

Being blunt isn’t the same as being brave. In a culture that idolizes people who “say whatever they think,” we’ve started confusing impulsiveness for honesty, and arrogance for authenticity.

But unfiltered speech isn’t just lazy. Sometimes, it’s harmful.

In this episode, I explore the difference between courage and carelessness, and how to practice mindful communication without losing your voice or your values.

When ‘No Filter’ Is Just Lazy (and Sometimes Immoral)

The Science of Connection: Building Bonds Through Small Acts of Love

In this episode, I share a brief moment with my nephew that opened up a bigger question: How do we create the kind of presence that people remember? 

I explore the science of likability, the concept of “Love 2.0,” and why the smallest gestures – eye contact, laughter, a kind word – have long-lasting emotional and health benefits. This isn’t about being charming or chosen. It’s about how we choose to show up.

It’s Supposed to Suck Right Now

Have you ever wondered why the richest countries on Earth consistently rank so high in anxiety and depression? 

Research says this is because we’re so overstimulated by instant gratification that our brains never feel satisfied and become increasingly unhappy in the quest for more. We’re literally addicted to pursuing pleasures that will never satisfy us.

The cure to this man-made misery? Self-control. 

I know, I know. Your body might be rejecting this idea as too boring or hard. But stay with me. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how hyper-access to indulgence is physiologically changing your brain, and I’ll coach you on what to do so you can calm your mind and start experiencing more vitality and true joy on a permanent basis.
