Welcome!

Not in My Bucket is a practical, encouraging podcast I created to help you live with greater balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

I’m Sarah Bentz, a licensed professional counselor, and I’ve seen how easily our “bucket” of time, emotions, and identity gets filled with things that don’t belong— trauma, expectations, and other people’s “stuff.”

In each episode, I share simple truths and real stories to help you recognize what’s yours, what isn’t, and how to create healthy boundaries that protect and empower you.

Whether you feel overwhelmed or running on empty, these brief conversations are designed to meet you where you are—and help you move forward, keeping your bucket better balanced.
