Defining Moments TV with Melanie Warner and Bestselling Author, Sarah Shaffer.

Are you exhausted from carrying the weight of past regrets? Freaking out about the future? Barely staying afloat in a present that feels like a raging dumpster fire? Been there!

In this episode, we talk with Sarah Shaffer, the author of The Dumpster Fire Diaries. We do not sugarcoat life’s messes—we own them, douse them in gasoline, and turn them into something that actually fuels us forward. Sarah is a life strategist, survivor, and unapologetic truth-teller. And if you’re tired of the same old fluffy self-help nonsense, you’re in the right place.

This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything’s fine when it’s clearly not. This is about calling out the chaos, rewriting the stories that keep us stuck, and figuring out how to rise from the wreckage—stronger, wiser, and maybe even laughing a little along the way.

In this episode, we dive into real talk about burnout, self-doubt, trauma, and midlife meltdowns. I’ll share my journey, and most importantly—hand you the tools to step into the life you actually want.

So, if you’re ready to stop running, grab a hose, and take back control of your life—welcome to this episode - The Dumpster Fire Diaries. Let’s turn this hot mess express into something unstoppable.

🔥 Because life’s a mess—but it’s your mess to own. 🔥

Samantha is like the Tony Robbins of the Christian space and has been such a powerhouse for women!

Her enthusiasm for God is contagious and her conviction and dedication to her faith despite losing her husband - has been so inspiring.
