What if the version of me that grows the fastest is the version nobody knows?

That question has been echoing through me lately as I move between Long Island and my new part-time life in Manhattan. There is something deeply liberating about walking through a place where no one knows your history, your roles, or your patterns. In the absence of being “known,” you suddenly get to follow curiosity instead of expectation. You get to try new things, say yes more boldly, and meet parts of yourself that don’t always get airtime in your everyday world. In this episode, I’m exploring the unexpected power of anonymity — not as loneliness, but as an opening. A clean slate. A doorway into reinvention. I share how anonymity has been expanding me in real time and offer simple, beautiful ways you can create your own pockets of being unknown, right where you are.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• why anonymity can unlock rapid personal growth
• how shedding your usual roles creates space to experiment
• the freedom that comes from not being recognized or expected to perform
• how doing things alone reconnects you to your inner girl and your intuition
• practical ways to create micro-moments of anonymity in your daily life
• why reinvention becomes easier when no one is watching

Affirmation:

I allow myself to step into moments where no one knows me, and I let new versions of me rise.

What if losing everything wasn’t the end of your story, but the moment you finally found your voice?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I sit down with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey – founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain, creator of the Blended podcast and nonprofit, and author of the memoir “I Buried Her in a French Press: A Memoir About Finding My Voice and the Power of Being Heard.”-- We go deep into self-worth, visibility, rebuilding after loss, and what it actually looks like to create a life and brand around who you really are, not who you think you’re supposed to be.

Here’s what we talk about in this conversation:

• How Sarah lost her family’s logistics business at 37 and rebuilt from the ground up with a mic, a podcast, and zero safety net
• Why “progress over perfection” is the hill she’s willing to die on – and how some of her most downloaded episodes came from imperfect, messy beginnings
• The moment she chose self-worth as the one word for her personal brand, and how that decision reshaped her content, her company, and her confidence
• The story behind her unforgettable book title, “I Buried Her in a French Press,” and how grief, intuition, and symbolism collided in one wild, sacred moment
• Public speaking panic: from childhood bullying and stage fright to live TV, panels, and keynotes – and how she learned to let anxiety move through her instead of running the show
• Redefining what speaking “has to” look like and giving yourself permission to choose formats that feel like you (fireside chats, panels, conversations instead of traditional keynotes)
• The difference between saying no from fear and saying no from alignment – and how to start telling the truth about which one is driving you
• The spiritual supports she leans on daily: crystals, sage spray, an abundance altar, and watching for signs of support and abundance in the smallest details
• Why she founded Blended Pledge to fund travel for underrepresented speakers, and how covering those expenses is literally getting more diverse voices on stages around the world
• What she would say to her 8-year-old self after years of bullying – and the reminder every woman needs about her worth, no matter how “late” she feels

What if the very parts of me I’ve been told to hide are the ones that make me whole?

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how often we tuck away pieces of ourselves to fit the moment — the job, the relationship, the image we think others want to see. But the truth is, the more we shelve, the more disconnected we become from our own essence. Integration, not perfection, is where peace lives.

There was a time when I believed that sharing certain truths about myself would make me appear weak or too much. But every time I hid, I felt further from my own center. The moment I started showing up as the unfiltered version of me — even when it felt uncomfortable — I began to feel whole again.

Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:

• Why hiding parts of yourself creates distance from your truth.
• How integration leads to peace and personal freedom.
• What to ask yourself when you feel tempted to mask or shrink.
• The difference between privacy and self-protection vs. self-erasure.
• A reminder that every part of you — even the messy and tender ones — holds wisdom.
