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.

Have you ever hit a moment where joy and heartbreak showed up at the exact same time — and you weren’t sure if it was self-sabotage, an upper limit, or simply life unfolding?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I open up about the day my husband and I finally got our dream New York City apartment — a manifestation twenty years in the making — and just minutes later, learned of a family loss. It made me stop and ask one big question: Was this the universe testing me, or was it just life reminding me that I can hold it all?

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s conversation:

• What the Upper Limit Problem really means, inspired by The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
• How to recognize when you’re blocking your own expansion through fear or doubt
• The difference between an upper limit and life simply happening
• Why creating unnecessary meaning around hard moments keeps you stuck
• How to grow your capacity to hold both joy and grief at the same time
• Simple mindset shifts to help you move beyond self-sabotage and stay open to abundance

If you’re navigating your own season of growth — one where things feel both incredible and uncertain — this episode will remind you that it’s safe to expand, to receive, and to feel all of it.

What do you believe happens after we die—and does that belief bring you peace or pain? In this episode, we explore how loss invites us to reflect not only on legacy but on the beliefs we carry about the afterlife. We get to decide what serves us. We get to choose what feels true, comforting, and empowering.

This conversation is about how we move through grief, how we create meaning, and how we pass that meaning on to those we love. Whether you're navigating loss right now or holding space for someone who is, this episode is an invitation to come back to what you believe—and why it matters.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

– A reflection on the power of choosing your belief system

– Why belief is one of our greatest tools for healing and connection

– Thoughts on how we explain loss to the next generation

– A spiritual lens for processing death that centers peace and presence

– The idea that legacy is built in real time—through the way we live, love, and show up

– A reminder that meaning is something we get to create, moment by moment

– An invitation to craft a relationship with the beyond that brings comfort and strength

Every time I tried to run from my pain, I was also running from my power.

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m sharing what a single line from And Just Like That taught me about how we view aging, pain, and growth. When I heard the words “poof, the last 15 years are gone,” I felt something deep inside me shift. Why would I ever want to erase the years that shaped me—the ones that broke me open, stretched me, and turned me into the woman I am today?

I talk about what it means to go through and grow through pain, how I’ve learned to heal my inner girl, and why that healing matters for the next generation watching us. When we stop trying to erase our stories, we become living examples of what strength, resilience, and authenticity look like for the girls who will come after us.

• Why I no longer wish away my past or try to “undo” the years that shaped me.
• How I learned to stop avoiding pain and start asking what it’s here to teach me.
• Why healing my inner girl helps me raise emotionally strong and grounded girls.
• The mindset shift from “Why me?” to “What did this teach me?”
• How reframing pain turns it into a powerful source of wisdom and strength.
• What the next generation learns when we model emotional honesty and healing.
• Why every challenge becomes a portal to our deepest power if we let it.

What if connection really is the antidote to a world that feels divided — for us and for the next generation?

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a real and unfiltered conversation (recorded right from my car) about what it means to choose connection in a world that seems designed to pull us apart. From family gatherings over the Jewish New Year, to my own shifts with technology, to a story from my travels in France — this episode is all about the simple, everyday ways we can reclaim presence and pass it forward to the kids and teens in our lives.

Here’s what I share with you:

• Why reflection doesn’t have to be judgmental, and how I set intentions for what I want more of.
• A powerful reel from Jonathan Haidt that reframed the way I see kids and devices.
• My personal journey of breaking free from letting my phone hijack my mornings.
• The choice we all have between looking for darkness or looking for light.
• How attempting to speak French opened unexpected doors of connection while traveling.
• Why modeling connection matters so much for the next generation — and how we can do it daily.

And of course, I’ll talk about The Connection Book, my newest release, which is designed to spark real, soul-filling conversations between kids and the grown-ups who love them. Because connection isn’t just for us — it’s the gift we hand down to the next gen.
