In this episode of Around the Ladder, host Erika Steinberg welcomes Sarah Pew, founder of Sarah Pew Consulting, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, authenticity, and operational clarity. Sarah has built her consulting practice on helping small businesses thrive by turning chaos into clarity, through systems, scalable processes, and strong messaging.
Together, Erika and Sarah dig into how to simplify complex workflows, identify what really matters, and build businesses that reflect your personality and values. Sarah shares how her background, from education to tech startups to consulting, taught her that the key to growth isn’t doing everything; it’s doing the right things well.
Listeners will learn:
Why streamlining operations always starts with clarity, not technology
How process mapping can uncover deeper truths about your business and your message
The power of “picking one thing” and focusing on what you love most
How owning your voice and your brand can unlock confidence and freedom
What it means to “be yourself” in a business world that often asks for conformity
Whether you’re refining your offer, creating systems to scale, or working to align your business with who you are, Sarah’s story is a refreshing reminder that you get to pick, your clients, your work, and how you show up.
