If you’ve ever stayed quiet in a meeting, held your tongue in a relationship, or worried that speaking up would come off the wrong way, you’re not alone.

This week, Sarah sits down with Siri Chilazi, co-author of Make Work Fair, for a heartfelt conversation about why it's so hard to advocate for ourselves, and how that struggle is often rooted in systems that were never built with fairness in mind. But it’s not all bad news, Siri also shares hopeful, practical ideas for how we can push for change, both in our own lives and in the structures around us. That includes real ways leaders can show up differently and create workplaces where everyone has a chance to be heard.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving something better, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters.

What’s holding you back from taking that first step? This week, Sarah sits down with bestselling author and speaker Mary Marantz to explore why we often feel stuck waiting for motivation, certainty, or confidence that never seems to come. Mary knows this struggle firsthand. She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia, far from the life she dreamed of, but step by step, she built a future beyond what she imagined.

In this conversation, Mary shares how she moved forward without feeling ready, without knowing the whole plan, and without waiting for confidence to magically appear. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take action in your own life, you’ve got it now.
