Most women in corporate aren't stuck because they lack talent, ambition, or a plan. They're stuck because they followed every rule they were given (good grades, right degree, climb the ladder) and ended up in a life that looks successful on paper but feels hollow underneath.

Sarah Janzen knows this firsthand. She spent three years knowing she needed to leave corporate before she finally did, not because she lacked courage, but because she genuinely didn't know what was possible on the other side. Every business owner she knew ran a restaurant, a café, or a professional practice. None of it fit. So she stayed. And the longer she stayed, the more it cost her — her confidence, her health, her relationships.

In this first episode of Her Big Leap, Sarah explains why she built this podcast and what it's designed to do: give you real examples of women who have already made the leap from corporate to business ownership… not the highlight reel, but the full story, highs and lows included. Because after coaching hundreds of women through this transition, she knows the number one thing holding most of them back isn't strategy. It's not knowing what's possible.

If you've been thinking about leaving corporate but can't picture what it looks like for someone like you, this is where it starts.
