Sara Abernethy: Small Yeses and Leaps of Faith

Episode Notes

Sara Abernathy learned early in life the value of small yeses. She started saying yes to low risk options betting on herself that she could make it work or would be able to make a move. With each small yes her confidence in her intuition grew. Over the course 12 years Sarah trusted her intuition when when it told her to:

• Walk away from a career as a professional opera singer
• Move to San Diego not knowing anyone for a job she had never done before fundraising for a performing arts theater
• Transition from working for a non-profit to selling technology to non-profits
• Leave a job she loved to take on the role she knew she meant to do

Sara Abernathy is a restauranteur and owner of Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing, that offers an elevated, polished casual experience and rotating small batch craft beers, chef driven bar food and a delightful patio experience with the best view of Downtown Raleigh.

In 2022, Sara and her husband opened Glasshouse Kitchen, an upscale eclectic American fare in the heart of Research Triangle, NC and they are currently working on an additional four restaurant concepts that will open this year.
