What happens after the moment you wish you could erase? This week, Sarah is joined by writer and publicist Alice Draper, founder of Hustling Writers and host of the podcast 'My Rejection Story'. Alice has built a powerful space where people share the “no's,” and today, she’s helping us unpack how to face rejection without losing ourselves in it, which is often very easy to do, as it's the first thing we want to do as humans.

Together, Sarah and Alice explore the complex terrain of rejection, embarrassment, and shame, plus they tackle how we can learn to navigate it without letting it define us. Additionally, they discuss the science behind why rejection can feel so brutal, including how our brains process it similarly to physical pain. From missed opportunities to public mistakes, this episode is a reminder that resilience is not about avoiding failure, but learning to keep showing up anyway. For anyone carrying the weight of a cringeworthy moment, this conversation offers both compassion and hope from a personal place!

If you’ve ever stayed quiet in a meeting, held your tongue in a relationship, or worried that speaking up would come off the wrong way, you’re not alone.

This week, Sarah sits down with Siri Chilazi, co-author of Make Work Fair, for a heartfelt conversation about why it's so hard to advocate for ourselves, and how that struggle is often rooted in systems that were never built with fairness in mind.

That includes real ways leaders can show up differently and create workplaces where everyone has a chance to be heard.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving something better, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters.

What’s holding you back from taking that first step? This week, Sarah sits down with bestselling author and speaker Mary Marantz to explore why we often feel stuck waiting for motivation, certainty, or confidence that never seems to come. Mary knows this struggle firsthand. She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia, far from the life she dreamed of, but step by step, she built a future beyond what she imagined.

In this conversation, Mary shares how she moved forward without feeling ready, without knowing the whole plan, and without waiting for confidence to magically appear. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take action in your own life, you’ve got it now.

Grief is one of the most painful and deeply human experiences we go through. Yet for something so universal, it often feels impossible to fully understand. This week on This Changes Everything, Sarah sits down with Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, professor of Clinical Psychology and author of The Grieving Body, to explore why loss affects us the way it does. Dr. O'Connor shares insights on how grief changes the brain, how it manifests physically, and why healing rarely follows a straight path.
