How To Figure Out What Makes You Happy
Oh hey there,
I’m Sarah Von Bargen.
Want to look at your calendar and your bank statement and think “Yup, I made awesome choices”? I’ll show you how to spend your time, money, and energy on purpose.
I want to share your true story!
It’s Monday on Yes & Yes so I bet you’re here for the True Story interview that usually appears in this space. Me, too!
After 400+ interviews, I’m sort of struggling to find stories I haven’t told already!
Competitive lumberjack? Check.
Unexpected home birth? Check.
Parents were con artists? Check.
So I need help from you. If you have a true story we haven’t covered yet, I want to share it!
Interviews can be conducted over email or phone – whichever is easiest for you. You always have the option of being anonymous.
You can search the True Story archives using the search bar above my header to see if we’ve already covered your topic. If you’d like to share your story – or have an idea for an interview – drop me a line at [email protected].
Thanks so much for making Yes & Yes part of your online life!

Two Sentences That Make Almost Anything Better
Just like every other human in the world I spend a significant portion of my life a) saying stupid things b) judging people for saying stupid things I'll hate myself a little when I name drop or make a joke that I thought was 'edgy' but is really borderline offensive. I want to turn inside out when I belatedly realize I'm bragging about my happy relationship to a friend who's going through a...
New Thing: See The Sunset In Key West
Each year I make a list of new things I want to try; it's part of how I live my life on purpose. Some of these new things are exciting, many are terribly mundane. I would like to make the argument that the world can be divided into two groups of people: 1. People who listen with curiosity and an open mind when they hear everyone raving about something. 2. Curmugeons and a-holes (like me) who...
True Story: I’m A Wife + Mother And I Had An Abortion
This is the story of 'Grace' and her decision to have an abortion after she had her first child. About 17% of the women in America who get abortions are married.

Tell us a bit about yourself. I’m 33, living in Wellington, New...
