Business Blasphemy
Sarah Khan, Business Advisor and Leadership Consultant, is calling B.S. on the hustle-focused status quo of business and entrepreneurship, and getting real about what it takes to grow a business or career and NOT become a statistic. In each episode, Sarah helps navigate the rampant B.S. that permeates business strategy, marketing, operations, and mindset that has business owners hustling and pivoting themselves into burnout. She cuts through the noise and gives you guidance on how to view the status quo with a more discerning eye. If you're ready for success without the B.S., buckle up for hard truths, fun rants, terrible puns and (more than) the occasional curse word.

What if joy didn’t need justification? In this episode, I call out the sh*tty, toxic pressure to monetize every moment and be productive at all costs. From a simple Pilates practice to dancing alone in the kitchen, I shine a light on what we lose when everything becomes a performance — and why reclaiming your time, mediocrity, and autonomy is a radical act of self-leadership. If you’ve ever been made to feel like your...
Before you say yes to the next big opportunity, ask yourself: do I have the capacity to follow through? In this episode, I share the 5 critical capacity buckets every high-achieving woman must evaluate before committing to a decision and building success on her own TERMS — time, energy, resources, money, and support. I walk you through how skipping even one of these can turn bold moves into performative burnout. You’l...
They don't want you to know this, but --- you don't need to fix your mindset to make the strategy that high ticket coach sold you work. You need a strategy that actually fits YOUR identity.
In this mini-rant of an episode, I dismantle the self-help industry's most profitable lie: that you're the problem.
I break down why most strategies fail ambitious women, and why personal growth should NEVER be a ...
This week I sit down with powerhouse Law prof, lawyer, and creative force, Joseline Hardrick to dismantle the myth that success always requires monetization. Together we explore why joy is its own form of wealth, how to resist the pressure to turn every skill into a hustle, and what business owners actually need to prioritize to build a life of meaning, especially in a world that monetizes everything.
We cover:
- The...
In another raw and unfiltered episode, I call bullsh*t on the struggle narrative, the illusion of balance, and the weaponized performance of “empowerment.” If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s done everything right and still feels frustrated, invisible, or exhausted — this is your wake-up call.
Let's unpack why the current definition of success doesn’t work, how empowerment has been hijacked by hustle culture, a...
This episode is your official permission slip to stop waiting until you “hit a number” to start taking your money seriously. I’m joined by licensed advisor and wealth strategist Karla Ukman — who is very much Not Your Father's Advisor™ — to break down the difference between legit financial planning and the unregulated noise online.
We dig into:
- The real difference between financial advisors, planners, coaches, ...
In this no-holds-barred conversation, Sarah sits down with Natalie Bullen of Unapologetic Wealth to dismantle the myths about success, entrepreneurship, and identity.
Together, they expose why most entrepreneurs are stuck chasing strategies instead of building real wealth, why belief — not tactics — determines success, and why trying to be liked is the fastest way to stay invisible.
Natalie shares her rise from reluct...
In this episode, I finally introduce myself properly (yeah, it’s overdue) and go deep on a topic that isn’t getting the respect it deserves: self-trust—not the cute, Pinterest version, but the kind that builds empires, not burnout.
I break down how self-trust is conditioned out of ambitious women from a young age, why most of us succeed in spite of ourselves, and how that leads to overthinking, hesitation, and outsourc...
In this raw and revelatory episode, I share how getting literally robbed in Barcelona led to the most honest business clarity I've had in years. Stripped of my phone, my routines, and my digital reflexes, I was forced to sit with my own thoughts — and what came up wasn’t just discomfort, but truth.
I unpack the toxic grip of “pics or it didn’t happen” culture, the myth of clarity through consumption, and why most...
How many podcasts do you need to guest on before it pays off? This week, I sit down with media coach and anti-guru Beth Nydick to call out the myth that “all visibility is good visibility.”
We unpack why podcast guesting isn’t just about showing up, it’s about delivering a performance with strategy, intention, and a plan for ROI. Beth drops hard truths about how most people waste their podcast appearances, what actuall...
In this fiery breakdown, I unpack why the show Paradise blew it in the final episode—and draw a sharp, necessary parallel to how too many women are showing up in business: as the rando killer. You can’t expect people to care about your offer, your voice, or your leadership if you’ve been hiding behind surface-level content and calling it strategy. If you’re tired of doing “all the right things” and still not being see...
Thought leadership has become a buzzword — and frankly, it's losing all meaning.
In this episode, I call out the watered-down nonsense parading as thought leadership in online business. I break down what true thought leadership actually requires: originality, courage, and conviction. You’ll hear the difference between being an expert, an authority, and a true thought leader, and why people should stop chasing the...

In this 100th episode of the podcast, I reflect on the journey to this major milestone and dive deep into the theme of legacy: what it means, and how we unknowingly build it every single day. I share a few personal reflections, lessons learned, and hear from a couple of past guests around what they want to be remembered for.
Featuring insights from Megan Hamilton, Bethany Hawkins, Jennifer DeWitt, Anita Kirkbride, and ...
The online business coaching industry doesn’t want you to succeed — it wants you to stay dependent.
In this episode, I share the truth behind high-ticket coaching, why so many programs fail ambitious leaders, and how to break free from the cycle of feeling “not enough.” I share my own experience with TEDx, speaking and business growth coaches, the moment I stopped following their rules, and the game-changing realizatio...
What if success wasn’t about what you do, but who you are?
In this raw and transformative episode, I sit down with Gregory Rutledge (aka G Wiz) — a visionary, transformational leader, and master connector — to unpack why so many of us are trapped in identities that aren’t even ours.
We dive deep into:
✔️ The real reason ambitious women (especially women of color) feel unseen and undervalued.
✔️ Why the online bu...
In this raw and unfiltered episode, I reflect on the aftermath of delivering my first TEDx talk — an experience that was both empowering and uncomfortable.
I share how stepping onto that stage and finally speaking my truth sparked a deep reckoning about my work, my impact, and the online business space as a whole.
After years of playing by the unwritten rules of visibility — curated vulnerability, algorithm games, and ...
