  • Sara is the real deal

    I appreciate Sara’s keen eye into how impostor syndrome is not a pathology women have, but a symptom of conditioning by a system that favors men. Sara’s both smart, insightful and compassionate as an advocate for women leaders. Highly recommend.

    900+ episodes is an incredible feat!! These are powerful, vulnerable, and sometimes triggering conversations, yet I feel so at ease listening! You can tell how important this work is to Sara and she’s curated a beautiful community! There’s a good mix of 30min episodes and longer more in depth interviews depending on what you’re in the mood for!
