Self-Worth, Power, & Using Your Voice with Intention

If you’ve ever questioned your value, your voice, or whether you’re really using your seat at the table the way you’re meant to—this episode is for you.I’m joined by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, a longtime logistics leader, podcast host, nonprofit founder, and author whose work centers on self-worth, inclusion, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and heard.Sarah shares her journey through male-dominated industries, unexpected career pivots, and the quiet inner work of protecting self-worth when titles change, doors close, or life doesn’t go according to plan. Together, we talk about privilege, responsibility, and the power we often give away—without even realizing it.This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about leadership, presence, and choosing to show up with intention.In this episode, we talk about:Why self-worth isn’t something you “figure out” once and for allHow titles, labels, and external validation can distort confidenceRecognizing your power in the rooms you’re already inThe responsibility that comes with privilege and visibilityCreating safe spaces where real conversations can happenLetting go of shame and giving yourself more graceIf you’re navigating a pivot, stepping into leadership, or feeling the nudge to stop playing small, this conversation will remind you that your voice matters—and how you use it matters, too.🍸 Grab a drink, settle in, and join us.Learn more about Sarah Barnes-Humphrey and explore her work below:📘 I Buried Her in a French Press (Sarah’s book): https://geni.us/Iburiedherinafp💌 Subscribe to Sarah’s newsletter: https://sarahbarneshumphrey.com/newsletter/🎙️ Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast & media platform: https://letstalksupplychain.com/🎧 Blended podcast (inclusion in the workplace): https://blendedpodcast.libsyn.com/🤝 Blended Pledge nonprofit: https://blendedpledge.org/🌐 Sarah’s website: http://sarahbarneshumphrey.com/💼 Connect with Sarah onWhen’s the last time you did something just for YOU? 🍷✨Wine Camp 2026 is your chance to escape, sip fabulous local wines, cruise at sunset, laugh around the fire pit, and soak up the magic of New York’s Finger Lakes.📍 Dates: July 30–August 2, 2026🏡 Spots are limited, so grab yours now: https://www.pennyforyourshots.com/winecampBring your besties or come solo—you’ll leave with new favorites either way.
