2025/12/02

When I learned of Lauren Tetenbaum’s work around workplace menopause advocacy, I knew I wanted her to come on the show. Talking about menopause at work is long overdue. When there is something that directly impacts 50% of our population, 100% of us are impacted in some way. We need to be talking about menopause at work. Period. Lauren Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C is a licensed clinical social worker, women's rights advocate, writer, and mom dedicated to supporting and empowering women through

I recorded this episode on the eve of my 50th birthday. I’m writing this show description at 6:23am on the morning of my 50th birthday. 50 feels weird. Maybe because for the first 48ish years of my life, it felt one million years away. Then, suddenly it’s just… here… For the past few months, people have been asking me what I plan to do to celebrate this monumental birthday and it’s felt overwhelming to decide on one thing. I feel this pressure to make the BEST choice because I’ll always

In this episode, I’m exposing the Authenticity Trap for you. The Authenticity Trap is the mixed messages women get about “being themselves.” We’re told authenticity is the key to trust, confidence, and influence, yet many of us were conditioned to 1) think we need to lead like men if we want to make it to the top to serve, and 2) constantly abandon our own needs and wants to center and care for those around us. That means when we try to show up authentically, we often bump up against years of

2025/11/11

I was thrilled when I learned that past podcast guest Jessica Frew wrote an entire book on decision-making. Decision fatigue is real and so very exhausting. It holds us back from taking action, best leveraging our time and energy, and truly trusting ourselves. Jessica is a firecracker and I know this conversation will give you some great AHA’s about becoming a more decisive person. Jessica Frew is an author, speaker, coach, wife, ex-wife, mom, stepmom, and BOLD action taker. She believes that

"Sara, I tried one little thing you recommended in our session and it totally changed my interaction with a team member!"Back story…I was leading a training for a leadership team recently and we talked about how to practice active listening in leadership. One of the leaders decided to put one of my recommendations into action immediately (Gold Star for this leader!) and he was so excited about the results. Following our training, he shifted his default behavior of “getting right down to

963: LEADERSHIP TIPS: Why Women Should Brag Like A Boss

2025/10/28

When it comes to giving yourself credit for your wins and accomplishments, how would you rate yourself? Are you a strong self-promoter? Do you share your accomplishments with others and routinely make it known that you’re up to great things? Or, do you tend to shy away from shining too brightly in front of others?As women leaders, we’re often taught to keep our heads down, work hard, and let our results speak for themselves. But here’s the truth: results don’t speak. People do. If we’re not

Shameless Leadership ·

2025/10/21

One of the trickiest parts of leadership for women, and even more so for women of color, is the tension between being authentic and being “good”. When we focus on being “good,” we often self-sacrifice and push ourselves to uphold someone else’s vision of who we “should” be as a leader. This can be exhausting, unsustainable, and even damaging to our sense of self over time. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to discuss this topic with La Tonya Roberts. La Tonya Roberts is the CEO of

Who doesn’t love a roadmap or a step-by-step blueprint to get from Point A to Point B?! Sometimes, as we are just going about our daily lives, we don’t realize that we are, in fact, following a path without even realizing it. As I’ve been helping leaders build out intentional journeys in growth over the last few years, I’ve realized a handful of key steps that come together to create a powerful roadmap to leadership success. When your path to leadership success is intentional rather than

This episode is especially for business owners and consultants, but the themes will resonate with anyone navigating leadership in challenging times. No matter your role, the struggles we face are often more similar than different, and there’s always something to learn from the stories of others.Recently, my business coaching clients and entrepreneurial colleagues have been sharing struggles that might feel familiar: "What sold before is not selling now."

I met Michelle Desmond a few months ago at a birthday gathering for a mutual friend. As Michelle started talking about her work in dying, death, and grief, I had question after question. I realized quickly I had to get her on the pod. I was so excited and grateful when she said yes. This is such an important topic that impacts every single human, yet very few ever talk about it.Michelle is a corporate executive turned thanatologist (expert in dying, death, and bereavement).

"Sara, some of my newer leaders are really struggling. I know they want to shine, but they need support, and I don't have the time or skills to give them. Can you help?" This is a conversation I've found myself in more and more over the last year. So, how did we get here? More and more managers are being promoted into leadership roles without the training or support to succeed. In this episode, I unpack why so many emerging leaders are struggling: rapid reorgs, leaner teams, and the

Public failures and fumbles are painful to say the least. I’ve recently had a handful of clients come to me feeling crushed after making a mistake, fumbling, or failing publicly. The most prominent outcome in all of their stories? SHAME. Their instinctual behavior to manage the shame? Hide, deny, or deflect. Fun fact, people don't actually trust leaders who never admit to making mistakes. Mistakes are a demonstration of humanity, authenticity, and vulnerability. We trust people who we see as

2025/09/02

When you hear the phrase thought leader, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, it’s someone with a massive following, a bestselling book, or a keynote spot at a big conference. But here’s the truth: thought leadership isn’t about popularity, perfection, or being the smartest (or loudest!) person in the room. It’s about having the courage to share ideas that shape or shift how others think, act, or lead. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually makes someone a thought

A few months ago, I shared some of my personal experiences in perimenopause. Today I am back with a big update. Since the last episode on this topic, I had a severe shift in my mental health, including a raging comeback of my lifelong anxiety and panic. On top of this, I started having emotional responses to situations that I could tell were very much disproportionate to the situation, yet I couldn’t seem to talk myself out of severe and dark emotional states. Initially, I thought this was all due

Empathy is one of the most critical leadership skills we can have—but like any strength, it can become a liability when it’s out of balance. In this episode, I’m diving into the dangers of both too much and too little empathy as a leader. Because here’s the truth: leaders without enough empathy lose trust, connection, and team cohesion… but leaders with too much empathy risk burnout, decision fatigue, and losing their leadership edge.We will dig into what happens when empathy turns into emotional

When I learned about Themba’s track record in building and guiding diverse teams, I immediately had a ton of questions for him. This conversation is a treasure trove of sage advice around the power of diversity in professional environments and why diverse teams will always have a leg up, no matter the state of the world.

Having a boss who causes harm or holds leadership values that clash with yours is rarely a positive experience. But time and again, I’ve seen how negative role models can motivate people to lead better and do better. Poor leadership often sparks a commitment to do things differently and more effectively as we grow. So maybe, in the long run, even bad leaders leave us with something valuable?

Last year, Google invited me to come lead trainings for Aging Awareness Week. This was a truly enjoyable opportunity to work with some brilliant leaders. When I asked about who to expect in the audience, I expected to be told, “People over 55.” Instead, I was told, “This ERG is for folks over 40.” 40! I don’t think of 40 as “aging” just yet. But, I guess it is when society and culture start to stigmatize us, isn’t it?? If you are a woman over 40 who is done shrinking and ready to lead with the
