S3E11: The journey of self with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey — entrepreneur, podcast host, bestselling author, and fierce advocate for self-worth — to talk about what it actually takes to find your voice, own your identity, and keep growing across a lifetime.Sarah is the founder of Let's Talk Supply Chain™, the Blended podcast, and the Blended Pledge nonprofit, which is dedicated to giving underrepresented voices a real seat at the table. Her debut memoir, I Buried Her in a French Press: A Memoir About Finding My Voice and the Power of Being Heard, is the kind of book that makes you want to bury a few old versions of yourself too — and brew something entirely new.Sarah's story isn't a clean, linear success arc. She lost her family's business at 37, sold her house, and stood at a crossroads with no safety net. Instead of shrinking, she picked up a microphone. What followed was the building of a global platform rooted in one word she chose to define her entire brand: self-worth.In this conversation, Alicia and Sarah go deep on:What it means to truly find your voice — and why so many of us are still searchingAuthenticity's role in finding your voiceHow identity shifts across a lifetime, and why that's not a crisis — it's the workThe courage it takes to be seen, especially when you've spent years making yourself smallHow vulnerability and growth are inseparableThis one is for anyone who's ever felt buried — by expectations, by roles they didn't choose, or by versions of themselves they've long outgrown. Sarah is proof that what you brew on the other side can be extraordinary.
