Welcome to the Wealthy Work Podcast hosted by Sarah Buckley (hi, that’s me). This podcast is for ambitious athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders who refuse to settle for an ordinary life. I grew up as a competitive gymnast, scaled a startup company to an Amazon acquisition, competed in CrossFit, ran marathons, have taken on some of the hardest hikes in the country and became an entrepreneur 5 years ago. I'm not stranger to taking on challenges. But my performance really started to shift when I started working on my inner game. So we're talking about the deeper side of performance: mental and emotional mastery, somatic intelligence, personal power, physical challenges, and the patterns that shape how you lead yourself through life. It's the combination of hard work and mastering your inner game that creates true wealth and an extraordinary life. If you're ready to exceed your limits, take on meaningful challenges, and actually enjoy the process of reaching extraordinary goals, you're in the right place.

    59 - You Don't Care Enough About How You Feel

    What if the success you've worked so hard to create is built on abandoning yourself? In this episode of the Wealthy Work Podcast, I'm diving into why so many high achievers prioritize achievement, relationships, and external validation over how they actually feel—and how that pattern often starts long before adulthood. We explore the subconscious beliefs that teach us suffering equals success, why people-pleasing and perfectionism can become strategies for feeling worthy of love, and how childhood conditioning continues to shape the way we show up in our relationships, businesses, and lives. Because you can have the money, the career, the relationship, and everything you thought you wanted—and still not feel successful. Did you know that your business can FEEL as good as it looks?  In this episode, we explore: Why you learned to prioritize everyone and everything else over how you feel The connection between childhood conditioning, self-abandonment, and achievement How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and external validation keep you searching for worth outside yourself Why you can achieve everything you've ever wanted and still feel unfulfilled How subconscious patterns show up in relationships, business, and leadership Why listening to your intuition matters before life forces you to pay attention How to build emotional awareness, internal safety, and self-trust   Your reflection for this week: What would change if every action you took prioritized how you genuinely felt? Welcome to a new era of leadership: getting right with yourself first, then taking that power into the world.

    58 - Personal Power is the Strategy

    What does personal power have to do with leadership, business, and success? The most important strategy for creating sustainable success may have nothing to do with another marketing tactic.   In this episode, you’ll learn: What personal power actually means in business and leadership How coherent leadership connects your internal values to your external actions Why high achievers often outsource their power without realizing it The difference between taking action from alignment versus attachment to an outcome How intuition can become part of your decision-making process Why marketing and sales strategies only work when you stay connected to yourself How to stop pushing, forcing, and chasing and start leading from personal power If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or high achiever who wants to build a successful life and business without abandoning yourself in the process, this episode is for you.

    57 - You Need To Release Control

    High achievers aren’t afraid of hard work—they’re afraid of not knowing what will happen next. From relationships and business decisions to failure, change, and taking risks, the desire for control can keep you stuck in familiar patterns and prevent you from seeing new possibilities.  Sarah breaks down how we use productivity, overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, and “taking more action” to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions. Instead of trying to eliminate uncertainty, she challenges you to increase your capacity to experience it. Ultimately, releasing control isn't about becoming passive. It's about learning to trust yourself without needing a perfect plan, so you can make clearer decisions, follow your intuition, and step further into your leadership. “leadership is not about controlling the external, it's about processing the internal.”     Download My Guide of The Deeper Side of Performance:  https://www.sarahabuckley.com/deepersideofperformance  Book a 15 minute fit call to work together: https://calendly.com/contact-sarahabuckley/thechallengefitcall

    56 - Hidden Cost of Growth

    This episode talks about the shadow side of personal growth: grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, changing relationships, letting go of what once worked, and the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you're becoming. I share what the last few months of my own life have taught me about self-abandonment, attachment to goals, commitment, discipline, and the difference between staying committed and refusing to let go. Reflection questions from this episode: What are you holding onto because it has worked for you in the past? What would you be doing differently if you weren't afraid of disappointing other people? What are you calling confusion that might actually be a fear of letting something go? What does your next level require you to release right now? Follow the Wealthy Work Podcast for more conversations on self-leadership, personal growth, mindset, performance, and creating a life and business that actually feels like yours.

    55 - How to Know If You're A Strong Leader

    What if your goals aren't just about what you accomplish, but who you become along the way? In this episode, Sarah explores the difference between chasing an accomplishment and using a meaningful challenge to build confidence, self-trust, resilience, and leadership. She shares lessons from training for the Boston Marathon and returning to CrossFit competition and why the way you pursue a goal can matter more than the result.

    54 - Ambition Versus Burnout : How to Pursue More Without Losing Yourself

    Changing the way you pursue success is what creates true success. In the personal development space, I got so sick of ambitious women being told to slow down, do less, rest, surrender to what is showing up... And while rest is valuable, what if your ambition was never actually the reason you felt overwhelmed or burnt out? We’ll explore why people-pleasing, perfectionism, proving yourself, overworking, and constantly looking outside yourself for approval can make success feel exhausting—and what happens when you start pursuing your goals from a place of power instead.

    53 - Self Awareness Isn't Enough : How To Actually Break Your Patterns

    In this episode, we’re talking about the awareness-to-action gap: the space between recognizing how you self-sabotage and actually choosing a different response. From overthinking your launch and avoiding sales to procrastinating, seeking reassurance, or changing your strategy every time you feel uncomfortable, your biggest business problem is your inability to tolerate the emotions that come with doing something differently. Because awareness is one thing. Self-leadership is what happens when you act differently anyway. Learn how to recognize your patterns, sit with discomfort, and take the action that moves your business and your life forward.

    52 - Transfer of Power : How To Stop Looking Outside Yourself For Answers

    What happens when you stop looking outside yourself for the answers? In this episode, we’re talking about self-trust, self-leadership, confidence, decision-making, and personal power and why constantly seeking advice, validation, coaching, mentorship, or the “right” strategy can sometimes keep you disconnected from your own authority.  I’m breaking down what I call the transfer of power: the process of moving from “Tell me what to do” to “Help me think differently” to ultimately “I trust myself to lead.” In this episode, we’ll explore: Why we struggle to trust ourselves and make decisions without external validation The difference between self-trust and seeking permission When personal development becomes a form of dependency How coaches and mentors can support you without becoming your authority Why self-trust is built through decision-making—not waiting for confidence How to stop outsourcing your intuition, leadership, and power What changes when you become your own authority How to make decisions even when you don't have certainty The connection between self-leadership, confidence, freedom, and success  The goal is to become the person who knows how to lead yourself.   Episode Resources: Learn More About LBD: https://www.sarahabuckley.com/launchbydesign  Podcast Episode About LBD: https://www.sarahabuckley.com/podcasts/wealthy-work-with-sarah-buckley/episodes/2149185654  Book Your Fit Call: https://calendly.com/contact-sarahabuckley/fitcall  How To Launch Your Online Offer: https://www.sarahabuckley.com/launchbydesignclass  Podcast Links: Website: https://www.sarahabuckley.com/podcasts/wealthy-work-with-sarah-buckley Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthy-work-with-sarah-buckley/id1877669285 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4hoCcskjWAFmU6YwoVZi7h?si=27b63a4cea49426c Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_sarahbuckley/
