From Bullied to Bold: Owning Your Voice 01/25/2026

From Bullied to Bold: Owning Your Voice Sarah built a globally recognized brand and podcast from the ground up — Let’s Talk Supply Chain™ — turning it into a platform that’s reshaping how the world talks about supply chain, leadership, and impact. With a powerful presence and 50,000+ followers on LinkedIn, she’s become a trusted voice in business growth, community building, and modern leadership. But what makes Sarah unforgettable isn’t just what she’s built — it’s why she built it. Behind the success is a woman who has lived through the realities so many women know well: being bullied as a kid, navigating heartbreak, and learning to thrive while managing an autoimmune disorder. Instead of hiding her story, Sarah used it as fuel — creating spaces where women can be real, vulnerable, and supported in a world that often demands perfection. She’s also the founder of The Secret Society of Supply Chain™ and Blended Pledge, communities designed to spark meaningful conversations — not only about business… but about the human experience behind it. On your show, Sarah brings bold honesty, grounded wisdom, and a refreshing, relatable energy. She’d love to dive into topics like: ✅ Building identity and self-worth in high-pressure environments ✅ Creating safe spaces for women to have the hard conversations ✅ Overcoming fear of public speaking and stepping into visibility ✅ Redefining success when the old definition stops working ✅ Leading with curiosity, empathy, and confidence (without perfection) ✅ Finding purpose through values — not just milestones Sarah’s message is simple, powerful, and deeply needed: Progress is the point. Not perfection. Her style is warm, real, and disarming — she shows up as someone who’s been through it, built through it, and is still learning out loud.

Your Story Is Your Strategy | How to Lead With Confidence 01/18/2026

The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up 01/15/2026

The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up Kae Kronthaler-Williams is a global software marketing executive, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for women who refuse to shrink at work. With three decades in tech, she’s seen the system from the inside—and she’s done playing nice with broken cultures. Through bold storytelling, public speaking, executive coaching, and nonprofit leadership, Kae calls out bias, confronts toxic workplaces, and helps women reclaim their power. Her mission is simple and radical: make sure every woman is seen, supported, and equipped to lead. Because when women rise, organizations—and entire industries—rise with them. Visibility. Equity. Leadership. Change. Not Made For You If you’ve ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or quietly pushed out of the room—this book is for you. Not Made For You pulls back the curtain on the unspoken realities women face in tech and corporate America: sexism, harassment, ageism, racism, microaggressions, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) systems designed to keep power exactly where it is. But this isn’t just a book about what’s broken—it’s a guide to surviving, navigating, and winning anyway. With unflinching honesty and hard-earned insight, Kae transforms lived experience into a practical, empowering playbook. She gives women the language to speak up, the tools to protect themselves, and the confidence to lead on their own terms. Silence becomes solidarity. Resistance becomes reform. It’s time to rewrite who gets to lead, thrive, and succeed in tech. Inside the Book In her powerful debut, Kae chronicles her 30-year rise from telemarketer to tech executive—offering a rare, insider view of the exclusionary systems still shaping women’s careers today. This is not theory. This is survival—and strategy. Readers will discover: Real-world scripts to respond to bias, exclusion, and workplace gaslighting Critical legal insights every woman in tech should know (but rarely does) A leadership framework built from lived experience, not corporate buzzwords Tools for self-advocacy, career longevity, burnout prevention, and systemic change Whether you’ve personally faced discrimination or want to be a more effective ally, Not Made For You equips readers with the clarity, courage, and leadership language needed to drive lasting change. women in tech, workplace bias, gender equity, leadership development, corporate culture, DEI, women’s empowerment, career advancement, microaggressions, toxic workplaces, executive leadership #NotMadeForYou #WomenInTech #LeadershipMatters #EquityAtWork #BreakTheBias #CareerAdvocacy #WomenWhoLead #CorporateCulture #DEI #SystemicChange Connect with Kae Website: LinkedIn: Substack: Instagram: /episode/index/show/beautyofcolors66/id/39736340
