374. The Unapologetic Mompreneur: Sarah Dew's Guide to Thriving Without Compromise

Listen to the full podcast episode here: 

Welcome to the Purpose, Profits, and Pixie Dust Podcast! In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Dew, a life and business coach dedicated to empowering mompreneurs. Together, we explored her inspiring journey from a government worker to a successful coach, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming time and balance in both personal and professional lives.

Sarah's path to becoming a coach was anything but straightforward. Initially working in local government and event management, she faced challenges balancing her career with motherhood. After the birth of her son, she realized that traditional work hours conflicted with her desire to spend quality time with him. This pivotal moment led her to reassess her priorities.

Her life took another turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This experience served as a wake-up call, prompting her to focus on what truly mattered. Journaling became a therapeutic outlet for Sarah during her recovery, leading her to express her thoughts and aspirations. Encouraged by her husband, she launched a blog to share her journey of overcoming overwhelm and living intentionally.

As Sarah’s audience grew, so did the demand for coaching. She transitioned into life coaching, becoming certified during the pandemic. Her podcast, originally intended as "The Thriving Mompreneur," evolved into "The Unapologetic Mumpreneur," reflecting her mission to help women embrace their authentic selves without fear of judgment.

One of the most significant barriers many entrepreneurs face is the fear of showing up online. Sarah shared valuable insights on how to combat this fear:

- **Shift Your Mindset**: Instead of focusing on potential judgment from others, remind yourself that you have valuable insights to share that can help others. Emphasizing your purpose can transform your perspective from self-doubt to service.

- **Limit Noise**: In a world filled with conflicting advice and trends, Sarah recommends curating your influences. She uses a "magic seven" approach—only following seven trusted voices that align with your values and goals. This minimizes distractions and helps maintain clarity in your message.

- **Stay True to Yourself**: When creating content or engaging with your audience, focus on what feels authentic to you rather than trying to guess what others want. This alignment fosters confidence and makes it easier to show up consistently.


Sarah's journey underscores the significance of living intentionally. By prioritizing what matters most—family, health, and personal fulfillment—she has built a thriving coaching business that resonates with many women seeking balance in their lives.

In conclusion, whether you're a mompreneur or anyone navigating the complexities of life and work, remember that embracing your unique path is key. As Sarah eloquently put it, "When we ditch all those needs and shoulds and we get into what really feels right in alignment for us... that's when we go from surviving to thriving."
