    E045: Why Nothing You Make Feels Good Enough | At The Table

    You have 47 mood boards, a camera roll full of screenshots, and folders of "inspiration" you've been collecting for months. So why does sitting down to create feel harder than ever? In this At The Table episode, Sarah breaks down the loop that keeps creatives stuck in research mode forever, and names what you're actually searching for when you open Pinterest for the third time today. Hint: it's not inspiration.

    E044: Why You Can't Build When Your Basic Needs Aren't Met (And What Capacity Actually Means)

    Sarah gets real about something most business advice ignores: you can't build when you're in survival mode. Whether that's food insecurity, time poverty, chronic illness, caregiving demands, or economic stress - when your basic needs aren't met, your nervous system won't let you focus on growing your brand. In this episode, she breaks down the hierarchy of needs, what capacity actually means, and why her work focuses on building within limitations, not pretending they don't exist. Set Apart Company has pledged over $20,000 (so far) in pro-bono coaching to combat these barriers, and this week, they're spotlighting Feeding America as part of Podcastathon.

    E043: Stop Trying to Find Your Niche (Do This Instead) | At The Table

    Welcome to a new series here on The Creative Clarity Show. At The Table is where I answer your questions, one question per episode, short and focused so you can actually digest it! today's question comes from Jess, an illustrator who asked: "I've been making art for years, but I have no idea how to turn it into something real. Every time I try to figure out my niche, I freeze. How do you even start when you feel like you're good at too many things?" this episode is for you if: you're multi-passionate and feel scattered, you freeze when trying to pick one thing to focus on, you're sick of hearing "just niche down" without understanding what that actually means, or you want results but don't know where to start. if you have a question you want answered at the table, submit it at setapartcompany.net/show. I read every single one. Also Mentioned: Follow me on Instagram (@setapart_company) to join our 2026 Spring Creative Challenge!

    E042: Coffee Chat Q&A: Marriage, Faith, Perfect Saturdays & What Makes Me Irrationally Happy

    You asked, I answered. this week's episode is completely unscripted—just me, your questions, and a whole lot of honesty about marriage, running a business, my faith, neurodivergence, and what actually fills my cup when I'm not working. in this episode: what marriage has taught me about business (and why conflict happens in the quiet moments too), how I protect my relationship when work takes over (spoiler: I'm still learning), why I wear head scarves and the unexpected conversations it's created, my perfect Saturday (open calendar, new coffee, painting without distractions), what I actually do when I'm not working (hint: I'm probably rewatching the same movie for the third time this week), and the thing that makes me irrationally happy. this episode is for you if: you're curious about the human behind the business, you struggle with work-life balance in creative entrepreneurship, you want to feel less alone in your neurodivergent tendencies, or you need permission to enjoy the slow, simple things. Want to get connected? I'd love to chat with you on Instagram!

    E041: Your Space Is Shaping You Whether You Know It or Not w/Expert Olga Naiman

    What if the reason you can't get into flow has very little to do with your mindset, your strategy, or your work ethic...and everything to do with the physical environment you're building your business inside of every single day? That's exactly what this conversation cracked open for me. Olga Naiman is a former editor at House Beautiful and lead stylist for Domino magazine, author of Spatial Alchemy: Design Your Home to Transform Your Life, and one of those rare people who has found a way to unite interior design with deep personal transformation. Her work has been featured in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Elle Decor, and Architectural Digest, and I can honestly say this is one of the most unexpectedly powerful conversations I've had on this show. This episode is for you if you're working from a corner of your living room, a dining table, a rented space with walls you can't even paint. It's for you if you have ADHD, a chronic illness, or a diagnosis that makes "getting organized" feel like a joke. It's for you if you've ever felt the invisible weight of an environment that doesn't feel like you...and couldn't quite name what was wrong.

    Sarah almost quit everything this week. She's been building something for years, spending thousands of dollars, relaunching multiple times, and it's still not working. In this episode, she gets honest about what the testing phase actually feels like, why we treat every flop like a verdict on ourselves, and how to stop quitting at try number three.

    E039: Why Talented People Stay Invisible (And How to Get Seen) w/ Expert Christine Blosdale

    Okay, real talk. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the things but nobody's noticing, or you're posting on social media but it feels like you're screaming into the void—this conversation with Christine Blosdale is for you. Christine is the Expert Authority Coach, and she does not sugarcoat anything (LOVE THAT). We talked about why talented people stay invisible (spoiler: imposter syndrome and trying to be everything to everybody), the difference between being visible and being in-demand, and why your past accomplishments still count even if they happened five years ago. If you're multi-talented, if you feel fake showing up online, or if you're wondering when you're finally "allowed" to call yourself an expert—press play. This one's good.

    E038: When Staying Safe Becomes the Riskiest Choice

    Sarah gets brutally honest about what's really stopping her from going all in on her business. Spoiler: it's not just about time. After years of survival mode, workplace trauma, and health crises, the bold version of her that used to show up unapologetically? She's gone. And now when Sarah tries to show up online or scale her business, something feels off. Her voice feels dull. She's performing instead of connecting. In this raw solo episode, Sarah unpacks the real reason she's stuck between two worlds and what she's finally ready to do about it. If you've ever felt like you lost yourself somewhere along the way, or like you're just going through the motions, this episode will hit different.
