Creating World Peace | One Relationship at a Time

Love by Design | Available Now

Are you ready to build the relationship you deserve and desire?

If you feel dissatisfied or disillusioned in your romantic partnership, you’re not alone. Many of us were raised with the idea that true love means finding our “other half” and that a spark is the best foundation for successful long-term partnerships and marriages. We drive ourselves crazy chasing that feeling… but what if our understanding of what makes a strong coupledom is flawed?

I am fascinated by the way connections work. I am most passionate about exploring how they lead to meaningful and fulfilling relationships, the way they help us grow, how they contribute to our awareness of self and others, and how all of these could be seen similarly and differently across relationships, cultures and organizations.

Are you waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment to make your relationship feel special? 🧡 Research shows it’s the small, thoughtful acts that truly strengthen connections—like a heartfelt hug, a few moments of eye contact, or being present in everyday interactions.

✨ It’s not about grand gestures or idealized activities—it’s about the care and attention you show in the little things:
• Listening without interrupting
• Showing interest in what matters to your partner
• Keeping phones off the table during meals

These small moments build a lasting bond. Start today—one thoughtful act at a time. #lovebydesignbook #thecommonground #relationships #thriving_couples

Move beyond the fleeting sparks of ‘sexual chemistry’ and into the lasting depth of ‘sexual harmony.’ While chemistry may bring excitement, harmony creates a bond that grows, adapts, and lasts. Join me in exploring how shifting from chemistry to harmony can lead to a more fulfilling and resilient intimate life including a more meaningful and satisfying sex life.

As the holiday season approaches, many brace themselves to manage their resources—time, energy, attention, and money—while striving to meet the expectations of those around them. My usual holiday newsletters are filled with tips on how to regulate oneself and cultivate a pleasant and fulfilling season for you and those close to you. This year, however, the political climate has shifted the focus of many conversations and interactions. With this in mind, I am dedicating this newsletter to navigating political divides between couples, with extended family, children, and friends. Link of The Common Ground on Substack is in my bio🙌🏼✨. #holidays #lovebydesignbook #thecommonground #connections #fosterrelationships #community #love #holidaytips #election #polarity #politicaldevide

I am praying for our world, for all of us, for our children, for our humanity. Let the light within you be the warmth that reaches beyond any divide. Only when we feel love and compassion within ourselves can we spread it into the world, bridging differences of sex, gender, politics, and society. May this glow be a reminder: true connection starts in the heart and shines brightest when shared. #unity #peace #peacewithin #compassion #love #humanityfirst #love

What Clients Say

Sara is a skilled trainer, thinker and advocate in SRHR, adolescent sexual health and development, and inclusion. She has a strong network and is well-respected in her field. I'm happy to support her recommendation!

I worked together with Sara while she was leading customer insights within the Pfizer primary care division. Sara brought a completely different perspective on human nature, motivations and beliefs. And she often helped teams of marketers to figure out new and creative ways to understand and shape customer beliefs. But I would say above all else, Sara draws people to her with her infectious enthusiasm and magnetism. This combination of expertise in human behavior and likability make her a great person to work with or to bring into your organization to infuse a fresh perspective.

I have known many with abundant expertise, quite a number with the passion for what they do and many more truly care about serving and giving of oneself. But there are a few of us who actually combine all three attributes that are essential for creating a vibrant and meaningful community of practice. Sara is one of the few.... Sara it's been a pleasure working with you and most importantly knowing you…

Sara brings a truly unique capacity as a thought leader. She is one of the few people in the world who I know will work through sensitive issues and concerns with individuals, groups, or organizations in ways that offer perspective, compassion, and concrete, useful outcomes. Sara brings a deep understanding of diversity and inclusion, a global perspective, cultural proficiency, and a seniority that is deeply influential. I highly recommend Sara in all capacities.

Sara is a special professional. She is a global change agent, who comfortably exhibits thought leadership in her focus areas, is organizationally aware, and culturally sensitive. Because of these qualities, Sara can bring down the walls of exclusion at whatever level she works; from helping individuals and couples look more introspectively, to speaking in front of audiences, to having difficult conversations in the boardroom.

Working with Dr. Nasserzadeh was my secret weapon — she was my business (and sometimes personal) Cyrano de Bergerac. As a C level executive working with a largely male senior team and board, Dr. Nasserzadeh’s astute insights and communication strategies proved critical in helping me navigate my way through numerous tricky conversations and situations. I am deeply grateful for her wise counsel and feel lucky to have her in my life.

Dr. Sara helped me to look at my own behavior and understand how I was creating my own rut and then getting stuck in it. Her guidance helped me unlearn some of my worst habits, and really connect with Clara instead. I think going to her saved our relationship. We’re now very happy together and the proud parents of a wonderful son, conceived and born since our time with Sara.
