The Process of Working Together

  • Us: We Get It — We’ve Been There

    We know what it’s like to navigate big life transitions while trying to keep a business running. We live it — parenting, caregiving, starting over, healing burnout — and we understand how the ground beneath you can feel unsteady when the life you’re living doesn’t match the business you’re running.

    We work with artists, designers, consultants, spiritual practitioners, and solo entrepreneurs who feel fragmented, scattered, or stuck— working to make sense of all the moving parts.  

    We share values with our community—we are determined, intentional, and collaborative. We know you are unwilling to sacrifice your integrity for growth. 

    That’s why we don’t simply offer strategies – we offer a spacious, grounded partnership through programs, resources, and coaching that respects your real life, right now.

  • You: The Turning Point

    Life has shifted since you started your business, and so have you. That little place in your brain that would fill with ideas, strategies, or creativity gets way less attention (if any) as you juggle it with caregiving, home, and “self-care.” 

    You’re seeking balance and ease. You need systems that won’t buckle under the weight of your life. You need to shed outdated processes, financial fog, and service offerings that no longer fit. 

    How do you honor who you are now without losing the business you built? 

    At Anchor & Orbit, you come first. We offer tools and guidance to help you realign your business with who you are now and what you need next.

  • Partnership

    In the tender moments of change, we’re here to walk alongside you as you untangle the knots, realign your business, and reconnect with what truly matters.

    Orbit to Freedom is our signature framework, designed to help you rebuild from the inside out — with spacious, grounded guidance tailored to your evolving life. On the surface, what we’re guiding you to do isn’t groundbreaking (goals → plans → action, for example).

    But what makes it impactful is how we do it —using proven structures that clear the clutter, restore your flow, and move you forward with clarity and confidence.

    Phase 1: Clearing the Clutter
    We help you take stock, unravel what is or is not working to create space for what actually matters now. Together, we uncover the patterns that are holding you back and create a roadmap for moving forward.

    Phase 2: Realigning Your Rhythm
    We recalibrate your income structure, refine your services, and design a schedule that balances both ambition and breathing room. We’re not reinventing the wheel; we’re helping you reconnect with the energy and purpose that got you here in the first place.

    Phase 3: Designing for Sustainability
    We work together to design sustainable, flexible structures that support you for the long haul — streamlined processes, clear financial plans, and aligned branding that reflects who you are now: intentional, steady, and ready for what’s next.

  • Our Offerings

    Every offering we create is a direct response to real patterns we’ve seen in our clients’ lives: the need for clarity, gentle structure, and practical support that actually meets them where they are. We design tools and spaces that are accessible, digestible, and genuinely implementable—not overwhelming.

    Live calls, community touchpoints, and thoughtful resources are here if and when you want them. They’re designed to spark clarity, restore momentum, and remind you that you’re not doing this alone. At every level, we foster a sense of belonging and offer a network of aligned, thoughtful peers.

    Clients leave this work with renewed clarity, reclaimed time, and a deeper trust in their own direction. It’s not just about running a business—it’s about building a life that feels like yours.

    “The small group dynamic adds another layer of resonance, fostering connection, support, and aligned perspectives that make the experience both energizing and grounding. I leave each session not just inspired but equipped with concrete tools to move my business forward with confidence.”

    “I’ve participated in Anchor and Orbit’s programs 4 times over the past 6 years. Each time, I have gained such great insight and direction that I’ve immediately been able to implement in my work to reach my goals, which have evolved over time.”

Orbit to Freedom

Business clarity for a life in motion

Orbit to Freedom, our signature framework, is an indispensable guide to (re)focusing your business with authenticity. Its structure offers room to breathe through clear priorities, mapped-out income, and a refined vision. It’s a unique formula to help you get grounded, clear, and moving again—without the burnout. You might even find your way to vacation days.

We’ve refined the Orbit to Freedom formula over years of working with creative, thoughtful business owners (just like you).

“I’m not sure how they do it exactly, but A&O’s program materials and approach are brilliant at teasing out details and fresh perspectives.”

Orbit to Freedom is anchored in an original workbook that’s part strategy, part systems, part reflection. With actionable exercises and flexible support options it takes away the tension of being stuck and often leads to “lightbulb” moments. You can walk through the workbook at whatever pace matches your growth and energy: solo, a small cohort, or 1:1 coaching for hands-on, real-time guidance.

Hi, I’m Sarah Schulweis—founder of Anchor & Orbit and creator of Orbit to Freedom.

For over a decade, I’ve helped creative entrepreneurs balance their professional and personal lives in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned. Building on a degree in Entrepreneurship, I created Anchor & Orbit in 2013 and have served thousands of business owners since. I’m passionate about this work. I thrive on partnership and creativity. I love structure and ease and spreadsheets but…

The photoshoot for this website? I hated it … at first.

What was meant to be a light-hearted morning on the beach turned into an uncomfortable reminder that I’m still becoming. I didn’t fully recognize myself at first, and maybe that’s the point. Returning to my business as a whole new person after making a whole new person has been the most significant transition of my life—a quiet reckoning. I’ve experienced what it’s like to rebuild when everything feels unfamiliar—to keep showing up while figuring out who you are now.   Today, I do the work I’ve always done—supporting business owners to achieve clarity and sustainability—now through a lens of deep personal transition. I’ve blended years of professional insight with lived experience to offer practical tools and honest strategies that never ask you to abandon yourself.

Whether you are already in a season of change or hoping to initiate one, I’m here to help you name what matters—and build a plan that works for you.
