You're posting consistently. Writing newsletters that take hours. You've got the degrees, certifications, and experience. But when someone searches for what you do? You're nowhere.

Sarah sits down with Carrolee Moore, founder of the Podcast Pitching Society, to unpack what it actually means to be visible—especially as a woman entrepreneur in a digital world full of noise. From the Currency of Visibility framework to using AI without losing your voice, Carrolee shares why authentic visibility...

In this deeply personal episode, Sarah sits down with Melanie Rhora, founder of The Phoenix Path, to explore how burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can mask as success—until something forces you to pause.

Happy 2026! Welcome to your first episode of the year. If you're tired of tearing everything down and rebuilding from scratch every January, this episode is for you. We're building on momentum this year, not starting over. In this New Year's solo, I'm sharing my word of the year and why it took me forever to land on it. You guys, this word is shaping not just my business, but the energy, strategy, and focus behind every decision this year. But this episode isn't just about one word—it's about honoring what's already working and building from it. Whether you're craving clarity in your...

Turning the calendar doesn't reset your nervous system. All the vision boards in the world won't rearrange your limiting beliefs about money. So what about the money? In this final episode of 2025, I'm getting vulnerable about the money fears that keep women entrepreneurs stuck financially—including my own. You'll hear exactly what happened when I confronted my hidden fear: "If I become truly wealthy, will people think I'm a bad person?" The truth? You can only earn at the speed of safety. When your nervous system feels unsafe, you physically cannot show up at the level required to grow your...

What if money isn't as "real" as we think it is? This week, Sarah talks to spiritual coach, tour leader, and money mindset mentor Halle Eavelyn about the deep, often hidden beliefs that shape women's relationships with wealth. From a life-changing awakening in Egypt to writing The Passive Income Power Plan, Halle shares how she helps women remember their power—and step fully into it. Here's something wild: women couldn't open their own bank accounts until 1974. Today, we still receive only 3% of venture capital funding. These aren't just statistics—they're symptoms of deep programming...

In this quiet but powerful close-to-the-end-of-the-year episode, I'm inviting you into a deeper kind of reflection: not a noisy checklist of goals, but a wholehearted look at what your life and work have really been built on—and what needs to shift. I'm writing this after attending a funeral, and after finding out my Aunt Wendy passed away. Some of you met her in episode 148. Through these stories of grief and loss, I'm exploring how pause can bring clarity, and how to choose a slower, more intentional path into the new year. Whether you're a business owner, a creative, or simply someone...

You know that idea pulling at your heart? The one you immediately follow up with "who am I to do this?" Carrie Rich had one of those ideas while mopping hospital floors as a graduate student. She didn't wait until she had it all figured out. She cracked a joke in an attendance meeting. Made one bold ask. Then another. Then another. Now? Her work has impacted 11.6 million lives across 70 countries through the Global Good Fund. But here's what really changed everything for Carrie: a stack of napkins pushed across a desk and one question - "Do you have a financial life plan?" At 25 years old, her...

What does it take to build your dreams when the path isn't easy? In today's episode, I sit down with Sarai Martinez—a rising voice in beauty and TV—to chat about perseverance, passion, and what it really takes to build something meaningful as a woman of color. Sarai shares her natural love for self-care and fashion, how those early interests evolved into public-facing work, and how she's navigating the challenge-heavy path of entrepreneurship with power and grace. We dig into identity, confidence, and what happens when you don't wait until you "have it all figured out" to go for it. ...

We're harsh with each other right now. Judging people we don't know based on where they live or how they voted. But what if we got curious instead? Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison spent 35 years as a trauma psychologist working with severe PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, schizophrenia, and near-death experience survivors. This conversation changed how I see everyone—including myself. High achievers are often high-functioners—people who've adapted to trauma in remarkably creative ways. The executive who never misses a deadline might be falling apart inside. The entrepreneur who appears...

You can't 10X your business by just working harder. Actually, the harder you push, the more you push away what you're trying to create. Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares The Grace Codes framework—and this conversation wrecked me in the best way. Five hours into climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a guide asked Dr. Kelly to hand over her backpack. She refused. Every other woman had surrendered theirs, but she insisted she was fine. Then she realized she was weaving on the trail—a sign of oxygen deprivation she hadn't even noticed. The truth? It took 28 porters and guides to get 5 women to the summit....
info_outlineOur day-to-day conversations are POWERFUL. They can dictate our days, weeks, and months — ultimately, they can shape our lives. It's true. When I moved from Utah to California and then to the East Coast, my conversations changed from topics like "Who has the cleanest house and best-behaved children" to "How fit are you, and what's the latest diet" and then to "How busy are you, how important is your work, and what's the latest in politics." Have you ever noticed the different conversations you with your family and friend groups?
In this episode, I'm going to break down the five common conversation types we have as women: gossiping, commiserating, inspiring, listening, and healing. Because the truth is: hurt people hurt people. If you're running away from healing, you are hurting other people. I know that's not who you are or what you want to be doing. None of this is on purpose.
