Her Big Leap with Sarah Janzen

by Sarah Janzen

Her Big Leap is the podcast for high-achieving women, leaders and executives thinking about leaving the corporate executive track to build their own business. Each episode, host Sarah Janzen interviews female founders who walked away from climbing the corporate ladder to build successful businesses of their own — and pulls out the honest story behind the leap. Every conversation goes past the LinkedIn-version of a founder story. We get into the moments of doubt, the missteps in year one, the belief shifts that actually made the difference. The version of the story they don't tell on stage. In between guest interviews, Sarah shares lived experience and coaching wisdom from her own exit and from her work as a Master Coach helping senior corporate women navigate this same transition through Her Big Leap. If you've climbed the ladder and you're thinking "there must be more than this" and wondering what else is possible, this is the show that proves the leap can be made, by women who've already made it.
