Ep 40: What do you do when you spend 20 years building a business, retire wealthy at 37, and then lose almost everything overnight?

In this bold, unscripted conversation, Laura DiBenedetto, best-selling author, CEO of Sovereign Alpha, and the strategist high performers call when hustle stops working, shares the story she rarely tells.

From launching her first company at 19… to grinding her way into the six-figure prison… to watching COVID wipe out her retirement and force her back into leadership…

Laura reveals the spiritual, emotional, and practical lessons that rebuilt her life, her faith, and her calling.

This episode is for entrepreneurs who feel like they are the bottleneck. Who know they’re meant for more, but hustle isn’t working anymore. Who want wealth, but refuse to lose themselves to get it.

You’ll hear:

• What actually breaks entrepreneurs stuck between 100K–1M

• Why muscling your way to success stops working

• How God used loss to redirect her life

• The surprising truth about masculine vs feminine roles in business

• • The shift every founder must make to scale without burning out
    

  
  

  It’s raw.

  It’s honest.

  It’s the conversation most entrepreneurs need but rarely get.

• 
  

  If you’re craving clarity, courage, and the freedom to build differently… this one’s for you.

Ep 39: What if the constant hustle isn’t a sign of ambition…but a symptom of fear?

In this powerful conversation, Shamieka Dean, prophetic strategist and founder of Temoré Global, challenges the modern obsession with overworking and exposes the spiritual roots of burnout. After collapsing from stress and realizing the life she built was slowly destroying her, Shamieka made a radical decision: to rebuild her business and her identity from rest instead of rush.

She now teaches high-achieving entrepreneurs how to create sustainable wealth without sacrificing their peace, health, or families. Together, Sarah and Shamieka explore what it really means to trust God with your goals, why our culture has confused hustle with holiness, and how to build a life that finally feels aligned.

If you’ve ever felt the pull between purpose and pressure, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about success.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why “hard work” was never God’s original design
• The hidden difference between survival and true rest
• How to find your purpose by tracing the battles that nearly broke you
• Why redefining success might just save your marriage, your sanity, and your soul
• The 5R Framework for building rest-centered wealth that lasts

This isn’t just another talk about productivity. It’s a wake-up call for anyone ready to build from peace instead of panic.

In this deeply moving and clarifying conversation, Audrey Rindlisbacher, founder of The Mission Driven Mom and author of The Mission Driven Life, joins Sarah Grace to answer questions that almost every woman has whispered to herself in the quiet moments:

• What is my life mission?

• Why have I lost myself in motherhood… and what can I do about it?

• If I chase what I feel called to do, will I lose my family in the process?

Audrey shares how her own breaking point as a young mother…dealing with depression, marital struggles, and disconnection…led her to discover the 7 Laws of Life Mission, a framework rooted in faith, history, and divine design. Together, she and Sarah unpack the tension between motherhood and selfhood, the myth of female martyrdom, and the radical truth that God never meant for women to disappear inside their roles.

This episode will challenge how you think about sacrifice, identity, and calling, and invite you to rediscover the woman you were always meant to become.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it really means to have a life mission, and how to uncover yours

• The truth about “losing yourself” in motherhood (and how to find her again)

• How to pursue your calling without losing your family or faith

• Why your dreams aren’t selfish, they’re sacred

• The 7 Laws that guide every woman toward her divine purpose

Ep 37: What if everything you’ve been told about retirement is wrong?

Ryan Lee, co-founder of Cashflow Tactics and creator of the Passive Income Machine, joins me for a mind-bending conversation that will shake up how you see money, freedom, and your future.

After climbing the corporate ladder, Ryan was forced to rethink everything when his son needed emergency open-heart surgery. That moment flipped a switch: success at the expense of family and freedom wasn’t success at all. From that day forward, Ryan dedicated himself to building wealth that buys back time…not just money.

Today, he’s helped thousands ditch outdated financial advice, step out of Wall Street’s grip, and create passive income streams that allow them to retire in 10 years or less. This conversation goes deep into the outdated rules we’re still clinging to, why “savers are losers,” and how to turn fake dollars into real assets.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the traditional path of 40 years of work for a maybe-retirement, this episode will blow the doors wide open.

Listen in to discover:

✔️ Why the rules of retirement planning stopped working in the year 2000

✔️ The principles that simplify money when everything feels “unprecedented”

✔️ How to convert fake dollars into real assets that pay you for life

✔️ Why financial freedom isn’t about net worth—it’s about time

✔️ The step-by-step pathway to retiring in 10 years or less

Why listen?

Because the rules of money changed, and no one told you. This episode is your wake-up call to reclaim control, protect your family, and finally buy back your time.
