Building Community in the North with Sara Zeleznikar of Odyssey Resorts

This episode was such a fun one for us because we got to have a guest back in the studio — and not just any guest. We sat down with Sara Zeleznikar, Director of Sales for Odyssey Resorts, and the conversation felt like one of those beautiful reminders that the right people really do find each other at the right time. Of course, in true Monique fashion, this connection began with what we lovingly call “secret stalking.” She saw someone doing meaningful work, knew there was alignment, and decided to reach out. And honestly? We love that energy. Sara shared her side of the story too, and what came through so clearly was that this wasn’t just networking. It was one of those universe-level connections that turns into something meaningful. What unfolded in this conversation was bigger than business. We talked about hospitality, memory-making, winter in the North, loving where you live, and what it looks like to build something that could one day become part of a region’s identity. Sara also shared the heart behind 218 Days, a growing northern Minnesota celebration centered around the 218 area code and all the magic, resilience, creativity, and community this region has to offer. And honestly, by the end of this conversation, we were not only inspired by Sara — we were ready to start dreaming bigger right alongside her. Key Themes + Takeaways Community is built through intention. Where we live can become part of who we are. Winter deserves celebration too. The “side quest” matters. Rest, pleasure, and beauty are necessary. The right people expand your world. Our Favorite Quotes “They don’t know they need me. But I for sure need them.” “Community doesn’t just happen.
