Description

If you’ve ever questioned your value, your voice, or whether you’re really using your seat at the table the way you’re meant to—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, a longtime logistics leader, podcast host, nonprofit founder, and author whose work centers on self-worth, inclusion, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and heard.

Sarah shares her journey through male-dominated industries, unexpected career pivots, and the quiet inner work of protecting self-worth when titles change, doors close, or life doesn’t go according to plan. Together, we talk about privilege, responsibility, and the power we often give away—without even realizing it.

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about leadership, presence, and choosing to show up with intention.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why self-worth isn’t something you “figure out” once and for all
• How titles, labels, and external validation can distort confidence
• Recognizing your power in the rooms you’re already in
• The responsibility that comes with privilege and visibility
• Creating safe spaces where real conversations can happen
• Letting go of shame and giving yourself more grace

If you’re navigating a pivot, stepping into leadership, or feeling the nudge to stop playing small, this conversation will remind you that your voice matters—and how you use it matters, too.

🍸 Grab a drink, settle in, and join us.
