    Tax Tips for Women Entrepreneurs: What the Tax Industry Doesn't Want You to Know with Hannah Cole

    Say the word "taxes" out loud. Did your shoulders just clench? Yeah. That's not an accident. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Cole — artist, tax expert, author of Taxes for Humans, and founder of Sunlight Tax — to talk about why the tax industry profits from keeping you afraid, and what you can actually do about it. Hannah breaks down the three main IRA options available to self-employed women in plain, clear language that finally makes it click. She talks about why creatives, women, and anyone who doesn't fit the traditional financial mold has been left out of this conversation on purpose — and how that changes when you have access to someone who sounds like your best friend instead of a shaming accountant. This is one of those conversations that will make you exhale. Because the tax system isn't as scary as you've been led to believe. And the tools available to you are far more powerful than most people realize. If you've ever felt like money — or taxes — weren't meant for someone like you, this episode is going to change that.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why the tax industry's marketing mechanism is fear — and how to stop falling for it Why nobody gets a tax education in this country (and why that's not your fault) The real difference between a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and SEP IRA in plain language Why creativity is a synonym for resourcefulness when it comes to money How to start thinking of money and taxes as a tool that works for you instead of against you   FREE GIFT FROM HANNAH COLE Download Hannah's Free Visual Guide to Tax Deductions here: https://www.sunlighttax.com/deductionsguide CONNECT WITH HANNAH COLE Website: https://www.sunlighttax.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunlighttax LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-cole-3775561/   ABOUT HANNAH COLE Hannah Cole is an artist, tax expert, author of Taxes for Humans [link: https://amzn.to/4a2Mu9m ], and founder of Sunlight Tax.

    Dating Smart: The Real Reason Successful Women Struggle in Love, with Laura Nagiel

    Your success isn't scaring men away. But the energy you had to adopt to build that success? That might be creating a problem you didn't know existed. In this episode, Sarah talks with Laura Nagiel, a dating and confidence coach who works specifically with high-achieving women. Laura shares why being "twice as masculine as the men around you" at work can completely backfire when you're trying to build a romantic connection—and what to do about it. They explore the "second gear" successful women need to shift between work mode and dating mode, how to actually assess someone's level of ambition (spoiler: it's not about asking five-year plans), and why self-love—not just self-confidence—determines what you'll actually accept in relationships. Laura's been through it herself. After a successful PR career and years of dating frustration, she took a year off to study her own patterns. The very first date after that year? Her life partner. Now she helps women understand the psychology of attraction, the masculine-feminine polarity, and how to create the conditions for finding an aligned partner. This conversation is practical, honest, and refreshing. If you've ever felt like you can build a six-figure business but can't seem to get dating right, this episode is for you.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN → Why your success isn't the problem—but the masculine energy you developed to achieve it might be → The "second gear" that lets you be powerful at work AND open in relationships → How to assess someone's actual level of ambition through their actions, not their words → The crucial difference between self-confidence and self-love (and why you need both) → Why "leaning back" reveals more about compatibility than interviewing over wine → How past relationships shape your current dating mindset—and what to do about it   SPECIAL GIFT FROM LAURA NAGIEL Take Laura's free dating audit to discover what your biggest problem is in dating right now and the 3 specific steps you need to take to fix it.

After years of struggling with dating herself—despite success in PR and building a thriving coaching business—Laura took a year off dating to study her own patterns. The very first date after resuming? Her life partner. Now she helps women understand the psychology of attraction, masculine and feminine polarity, and why people bond the way they do, so they can finally experience their dream relationship and truly have it all in life.   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS THAT SUPPORTS YOUR LIFE?

    Building Confidence Through Small Wins with Jen Mueller

    Ever walked into a room wondering if you really belonged there? Like they're going to find out you don't actually know what you're doing? Here's what Jen Mueller will tell you: If you're in the room, you're supposed to be there. Stop selling past the close. In this episode, Sarah welcomes Jen Mueller, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, to talk about the small wins that build unshakable confidence. They unpack why "hello" became Jen's measure of success, how bubble gum moments prove your small actions are stacking up, and why you need to stop over-proving yourself once you're already in the door. Jen breaks down how she built relationships in male-dominated spaces, how to channel competitiveness without burning out, and why your resume matters way less than how you make people feel. Because here's the truth: small wins stack up to big success when you measure what actually matters to you—not everyone else's highlight reel.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why confidence isn't loud—and how small wins build lasting belief The most powerful question to ask before entering any room What women can own in male-dominated industries Why chasing praise burns you out (and what to do instead) How to connect authentically in any career (no name-dropping required)   FREE GIFTS FROM JEN MUELLER https://www.talksportytome.com/resources   CONNECT WITH JEN MUELLER Website: https://www.talksportytome.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenmuellertalksporty/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talksportytome Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talksportytome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TalkSportyToMe/   ABOUT JEN MUELLER Jen is a veteran sideline reporter for the Seattle Seahawks, and for over two decades, was a member of the Seattle Mariners' TV broadcast team.

    Why Your Business Feels Stuck (And the Limiting Beliefs Keeping You There) with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

    Ever felt like your business is technically moving forward—but you're still stuck in the "fine vortex"? Like you've traded your 9-to-5 for 24/7, your income swings from $2,000 to $8,000 to $3,000, and you're hustling harder but getting nowhere?

LaChelle shares her Flow State Money Method: a simple 3-step process that makes running your business feel simpler, not harder. Because here's the truth: confidence comes from action, not the other way around.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why "fine" became LaChelle's least favorite four-letter F-word (and why it's keeping you from extraordinary) How to identify your "puppet strings" using a notes-on-your-phone method anyone can do The Flow State Money Method: 3 steps to recognize toxic thoughts, trust your guidance, and take aligned action Why no sales script will ever work if you haven't dealt with brain-heart coherence first How a grocery store moment at age 5 creates business blocks at age 35 (and what to do about it) Your superpower of choice—and how to use it to rise above circumstances instead of staying stuck   SPECIAL GIFT FROM DR.

    How to Structure Your Business for Venture Capital Funding with Ms. Cat

    Only 3% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses. But here's the thing—it's not because your idea isn't good enough. It's because of foundational mistakes you're making before you even apply. Business strategist Ms. Cat (Catherine Mitchell) joins Sarah to break down exactly what keeps women entrepreneurs from accessing the billions in funding that's actually available. From choosing the wrong business name to using your personal Gmail account, these structural errors are disqualifying you before funders even look at your pitch. Ms. Cat walks through the NAICS code trap, why your LLC address matters more than you think, and the exact moment you should start looking for funding. Plus, she gets real about the burning desire you need to make the leap from side hustle to main hustle—and why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. This conversation is part of Sarah's mission to put more money in the hands of more women.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The 5 foundational mistakes that disqualify businesses from funding—including why certain business names are considered "high risk" and how your NAICS code can knock you out of the game When to actually start looking for venture capital funding (and the capital gap test to know if you're ready) Why using your home address on your LLC is a red flag to investors—and what funders are really looking for when they Google your business The 3-4x rule for knowing when your side hustle is ready to become your main hustle Why funding challenges have nothing to do with your product or service—it's all about foundation and structure How women disqualify themselves before they even ask for funding (and how proper structure gives you the confidence to apply) The burning desire you need beyond just a good idea to survive entrepreneurship   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS FOUNDATION THAT POSITIONS YOU FOR GROWTH?

If you've ever thought, "I've tried everything and nothing works," this conversation is for you. Sarah sits down with Carrolee Moore, founder of the Podcast Pitching Society, to unpack what it actually means to be visible—especially as a woman entrepreneur in a digital world full of noise. From the Currency of Visibility framework to using AI without losing your voice, Carrolee shares why authentic visibility starts with becoming visible to yourself first. Together, they explore the difference between being an influencer and running a sustainable business, why "I've tried everything" usually means you haven't, and the power of owning your voice even when it makes people uncomfortable.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: The biggest visibility mistake experts make (and why corporate training keeps you invisible) Why becoming visible to yourself comes before marketing to the world How to use AI as your assistant—not your brain Breaking the performance bonds that keep you playing small Why your visibility must make money, not just noise The "to what end" question that should guide every visibility decision How to stop being nice and start being real in your marketing Why the only critics who matter are ahead of you on the path   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS YOU LOVE?

    Out of the Ashes: The Fire That Changed Everything with Melanie Rhora

    What happens when your whole world burns down—literally—and it turns out to be the start of your real life? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah sits down with Melanie Rhora, founder of The Phoenix Path, to explore how burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can mask as success—until something forces you to pause. Melanie shares how a devastating house fire cleared the way for profound transformation, how she rebuilt her life by honoring her truth, and how she now helps high-capacity women recognize burnout signs and set real boundaries without guilt. Because when life burns down, it's not punishment. It's permission.   You'll Hear: What silent burnout looks like (hint: it's not hustle—it's disconnection) Why setting boundaries isn't mean—it's medicine How to release old roles and rewrite your internal definition of "worthy" The one question that changes everything: "I love myself enough to stay safe and open at the same time" Why rest isn't optional (and what happens when you finally allow it)   =========================================== RESOURCES MENTIONED ===========================================   **Free Gift for Listeners:** Download Melanie's Boundaries Blueprint https://thephoenixpath.net/free-gift    **About Melanie Rhora:** Melanie Rhora knows what it's like to look like you've got it all together while quietly unraveling inside. After burning out and losing her home to a fire, she rebuilt everything—her confidence, her relationships, her business, and herself. Now a trauma-informed facilitator and creator of The Phoenix Path, she helps high-capacity women stop abandoning themselves, set real boundaries without guilt, and rise stronger from the ashes of what no longer fits into lives that finally feel like their own.   **Connect with Melanie:** - Website: www.thephoenixpath.net  - Instagram: @thephoenixpath  - Book: "The Phoenix Path" (Available on Amazon and through her website)   **About Sarah Walton:** Sarah Walton is a business coach, podcast host, and mentor who helps women entrepreneurs build businesses they love.
