#21 Sarah Enos: How to Make an Impact Every Day

Sarah Enos is a dreamer, history teacher turned small business owner, founder of The Vintage Lease, and co-founder of VL Homes. Sarah’s gifted at creating beautiful things and believes in the power of aesthetics to help elevate your mindset. “It’s okay to create beauty because it is important.” As a wife, mom, and entrepreneur, Sarah is passionate about intentionality and seeks to live every day with purpose. “Every day we make choices, and every day we can do small things. Sometimes small things can be really big.”

Sarah’s business, The Vintage Lease, specializes in event planning and design and brings big-city trends to rural South Dakota. Sarah’s family business, VL Homes, offers residential remodel and design services for those in Rapid City, South Dakota and around the world. Sarah’s family has set out to make an impact with VL Homes, and are in the process of building a safehouse in South Dakota to help those coming out of human trafficking. This safehouse will offer a beautiful and healing space for those who’ve experienced a dark time in their lives. “You are worth something beautiful.”

Sarah walks us through her story, how she lives a life of intention, and how she’s making an impact every day. Sarah shares how you can start making an impact now, how to combat the problems you see in your daily life, and how to move past the fear of not knowing your future and instead focus on living a meaningful life today.
