The Birth of Blue Lotus Global LLC
Meet the Founder - Sarah Sunderlin Simpson
Principal Coach | Lead Consultant | Global Coordinator
After more than two decades working at the intersection of global policy, labor rights, workforce and international development, I found myself at an unexpected turning point. A sudden shift in foreign aid and global policy brought long-held systems to a halt—and with it, came a deep personal call to pause and reassess. The world was evolving rapidly, and I knew I needed to evolve with it.
I began asking the big questions: Where am I going? Who am I becoming? How do I reinvent myself—again—with intention and integrity?
These reflections in 2025 weren’t just professional—they were deeply personal. Through a lifetime marked by sudden loss, reinvention, and transformation, I’ve learned how to find calm in the storm, uncover clarity in the unknown, and guide others through uncertain terrain. I have an innate ability to zoom out, see patterns, assess gaps, and create strategies that help individuals and organizations navigate transitions with confidence and compassion.
That’s why I created Blue Lotus Global—a space where structure meets soul. A bridge between international policy, workforce development, consulting and transformational coaching. A place to support purpose-driven leaders, creatives, humanitarians and change-makers as they align with their values, lead with vision, and rise with clarity.
At Blue Lotus Global, my mission is simple: to help you realign, rise, and thrive—both in your life and your work.
“We exist to awaken human potential—not by extracting from people or the planet, but by nurturing authentic leadership, inclusive innovation, and deep-rooted connection across cultures and communities.” -Sarah
Blue Lotus is a catalyst for transformation—where ancient wisdom meets emerging futures. Together, we cultivate clarity, courage, and consciousness for a world that works for all.

Global Coaching
Rooted in intuition. Guided by experience. Focused on transformation.
Coaching, for Sarah, is more than a profession—it’s a calling. Drawn to people from all walks of life, she is deeply committed to helping others reconnect with their inner gifts, talents, and knowing. She believes that within each of us lies the power to live a life of alignment—one that feels purposeful, soulful, and true.
But sometimes, we lose our way. We get stuck in routines, burdened by expectations, and disconnected from our own center.
That’s where Sarah comes in.
With years of team building experience and a heart-centered approach, Sarah helps clients return to their true essence. She supports them in recalibrating with clarity, confidence, and integrity—guiding them to create lives and careers that feel aligned and expansive.
Sarah is a certified Life and Professional Coach with expertise in helping professionals reach their full career potential, parents balance work and home life, creatives and humanitarians connect with their purpose.
Sarah is also in training to become an Integrated Energy Therapy and Emotion Code Practitioner.
With over 25 years of yoga and mindfulness experience, she also brings a deep understanding of the body-mind connection—and how our physical, emotional, and energetic systems signal when we’re out of sync.
Her approach is both intuitive and practical:
– Helping you clear the clutter to create space for growth
– Teaching you how to detach from outcomes and trust the process
– Guiding you to set meaningful boundaries and reclaim your energy
– Supporting you in rediscovering your true essence and building a life rooted in authenticity
Sarah’s leadership and coaching style is grounded, compassionate, and transformational. She’s here to help you come back home to yourself—so you can live, lead, and thrive from the inside out.
