Welcome to the Wealthy Work Podcast hosted by Sarah Buckley (hi, that’s me).
This podcast is for ambitious athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders who refuse to settle for an ordinary life.
I grew up as a competitive gymnast, scaled a startup company to an Amazon acquisition, competed in CrossFit, ran marathons, have taken on some of the hardest hikes in the country and became an entrepreneur 5 years ago. I'm not stranger to taking on challenges.
But my performance really started to shift when I started working on my inner game.
So we're talking about the deeper side of performance: mental and emotional mastery, somatic intelligence, personal power, physical challenges, and the patterns that shape how you lead yourself through life.
It's the combination of hard work and mastering your inner game that creates true wealth and an extraordinary life.
If you're ready to exceed your limits, take on meaningful challenges, and actually enjoy the process of reaching extraordinary goals, you're in the right place.
What if the success you've worked so hard to create is built on abandoning yourself?
In this episode of the Wealthy Work Podcast, I'm diving into why so many high achievers prioritize achievement, relationships, and external validation over how they actually feel—and how that pattern often starts long before adulthood.
We explore the subconscious beliefs that teach us suffering equals success, why people-pleasing and perfectionism can become strategies for feeling worthy of love, and how childhood conditioning continues to shape the way we show up in our relationships, businesses, and lives.
Because you can have the money, the career, the relationship, and everything you thought you wanted—and still not feel successful. Did you know that your business can FEEL as good as it looks?
In this episode, we explore:
Why you learned to prioritize everyone and everything else over how you feel
The connection between childhood conditioning, self-abandonment, and achievement
How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and external validation keep you searching for worth outside yourself
Why you can achieve everything you've ever wanted and still feel unfulfilled
How subconscious patterns show up in relationships, business, and leadership
Why listening to your intuition matters before life forces you to pay attention
How to build emotional awareness, internal safety, and self-trust
Your reflection for this week: What would change if every action you took prioritized how you genuinely felt?
Welcome to a new era of leadership: getting right with yourself first, then taking that power into the world.

58 - Personal Power is the Strategy

57 - You Need To Release Control
High achievers aren’t afraid of hard work—they’re afraid of not knowing what will happen next. From relationships and business decisions to failure, change, and taking risks, the desire for control can keep you stuck in familiar patterns and prevent you from seeing new possibilities.
Sarah breaks down how we use productivity, overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, and “taking more action” to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions. Instead of trying to eliminate uncertainty, she challenges you to increase your capacity to experience it.
Ultimately, releasing control isn't about becoming passive. It's about learning to trust yourself without needing a perfect plan, so you can make clearer decisions, follow your intuition, and step further into your leadership.
“leadership is not about controlling the external, it's about processing the internal.”
