About DBL

Who We Are

Hi! I’m Sarah, the co-creator of DBL. I’m a marketer by day working in the education services space. I love to write, read, create, and try new things. My husband, Matt recently returned to school after 15 years in customer service and is pursuing a degree in UX Design. Together we’ve built a family with 3 little boys (6,4, and 2) and 2 cats in Central Florida. As a family, we spend time playing and watching sports, trying new recipes, watching movies, and planning our next family trip.

Our spiritual journey has been what has led us to launching this site. Matt and I grew up attending church, we always knew about God and what He had done for us, but it wasn’t until we had children that we began to really talk about our beliefs. In 2020, we experienced the death of my father and Matt’s grandfather which catapulted our conversations about afterlife, grief, and how on earth we were going to explain to our sweet babies that their “Papas” were gone. Ultimately, the last few years have peeled back these layers and led us to a few life changes that allow us to prioritize God in our life and we are so thankful for that.


So Why Write This For Others To See?

I’ve got this constant nudge to tell our story to encourage others. As I launched this site, there were just too many signs from God to take the next step — sermons from our preacher, talks with my therapist, and friendly conversations with others that I felt could use encouragement. So, I can no longer ignore my nudges. I’m filling this space, please feel free to follow along on our journey.


What Does It Mean?

To be delightfully bold will look different to each person and can be carried out in a variety of ways. As for myself, I found that becoming a mom really uncovered my insecurities and I needed to deal with them fast. Seeking out therapy and attending a small group at a church across town brought me to the realization that my life was missing one person — Jesus. His presence, this unwavering comfort that I could put my trust in, gave me hope that I could overcome my insecurities and be a halfway-decent mom. My frequent moments of frustration and anger where I have to surrender myself to Him were just the beginning. I could breathe again, and I felt my confidence coming back. Delightfully Bold Life is a simple promise to myself to constantly grow as a believer and be confident in the Christ and his plans for me and my family. We’re definitely not perfect at it, but I know striving to live this way brings me the most joy.

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
