When a Successful Career Stops Feeling Right | Sarah Buehner
Sarah Buehner started her business young. She was a therapist, built a healing center, moved into business and marketing, and eventually found her way into podcasting and content creation. But none of it happened through one perfectly mapped-out career plan. In this episode of The Joy Experiment , Sarah and Roberta talk about what happens when something that once worked just doesn't anymore. Sarah remembers standing in her bedroom getting ready for her therapy job and knowing she couldn't keep forcing herself through it. Roberta remembers getting the kind of mortgage client she'd worked years to attract and realizing she wasn't even excited about the call. So...do you need a break? Or do you need a change? Sarah and Roberta get into knowing when a season is over, intuition and synchronicities in business, nervous system reactions as your business grows, and what happens when perfectly good advice still doesn't feel right for you. They also talk about people-pleasing, leadership, delegation, allowing yourself to have more than one idea, creating content without obsessing over the numbers, and why leaving one chapter of your work doesn't mean you're starting over. Plus, Sarah explains why she doesn't use AI to choose podcast clips, tells the story of a sunflower that unexpectedly got 6,500 views, and shares what she does with the business tasks she doesn't particularly enjoy. And yes, Sarah and Roberta both know the familiar temptation to say, "I'll just do it myself."
