About Hint of Hustle with Heather Sager

You probably don't need someone to tell you to work harder, you’re good at that. Really good. But somewhere along the way, success started feeling like it was costing you something. Your relationships. Your health. That version of yourself you LIKE. You started wondering if there's a way to win in business without putting everything else on the back burner. I'm Heather Sager, former corporate executive turned high performance coach specializing in communication. I've spent 23+ years on stages and inside thousands of businesses learning that the entrepreneurs who are truly crushing it are the ones who got really honest about redefining their success and built accordingly. Each week we get into exactly that, business, marketing, personal growth… the 5 star reviews paint the picture: it’s like grabbing a drink with that ridiculously wise biz friend who has you laughing one minute, scribbling notes the next, and always leaves you fired up to take action. Welcome to Hint of Hustle where ambitious leaders win at work and thrive in life. Let’s dive in!

We’ll drill into the three intangible qualities that I believe led to her massive success (none of which have anything to do with positioning, offer design, or marketing tactics). Plus I share my own "curse of the expert" moment and what 24 years of spea...

253. Your Inner Critic Is Costing You More Than You Think

Published 2 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] But in business coaching and in my world, specifically high performance coaching, which quick reminder, when I say high performance, I know that kind of feels like a masculine term.

So essentially means that you're able to kill it professionally and chase your ambition while having an awesome full life. You have great relationships. You have great health.
