Sarah Mitchell is a transition coach, organizational psychologist, and author based in Portland, Oregon. After navigating her own major life reinvention at 45—leaving a 20-year career in corporate consulting to become a transition specialist—she dedicated her professional life to helping others navigate life's biggest changes with intention and courage.
Over the past 12 years, Sarah has worked with over 2,000 individuals navigating career pivots, relationship transitions, empty nesting, retirement, and identity shifts. Her SHIFT Framework has been adopted by organizations, coaching programs, and educational institutions worldwide.
She holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from the University of Oregon and has published research in the Journal of Vocational Behavior and the Harvard Business Review.
Sarah practices what she teaches: she embraces transitions as opportunities, maintains a strong support network, and believes that reinvention is not a crisis but a natural rhythm of human growth.
