EP 07: From Suppressed Emotions to Seven Figures - Sarah Lambert on Breaking the Burnout Cycle


Listen Later

What if the physical pain you've carried for years isn't actually physical at all? Sarah Lambert discovered this truth the hard way when she realized her debilitating stomach issues - painful enough to make her faint in public - were actually suppressed emotions manifesting in her body. But this revelation came after watching her mother collapse from chronic fatigue at age 41, unable to lift her head from the pillow for 15 years. Growing up as the last child dropped off and picked up from the babysitter, Sarah witnessed firsthand what happens when you try to do it all without tools to regulate your nervous system. Her mother - a VP at a major ad agency going through divorce, grief, and a midlife crisis - simply burnt out. That moment became Sarah's "why" for building a business that prioritizes nervous system health alongside business growth. During maternity leave in 2018, she launched a photography course that made six figures in year one, allowing her to quit corporate and rewrite the script her mother's life had written. Now as a business mentor and embodiment strategist, Sarah helps other moms scale to seven figures without sacrificing their wellbeing. Her signature "fuck off Fridays," intentional calendar design, and emphasis on feeling emotions rather than suppressing them have created both financial success and the freedom to show up for her kids in ways her parents couldn't. This conversation explores the dangerous cost of being "strong" by hiding emotion, why burnout isn't just about needing rest, and how your biggest hardships become your greatest wisdom and life's purpose.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your body keeps the score - suppressed emotions manifest as physical illness and pain
  • Burnout isn't just about rest; chronic fatigue and illness can result from years of nervous system dysregulation
  • The strongest thing you can do is feel your emotions, not suppress them behind a mask of strength
  • You can love your parents and honor their struggles while consciously choosing to do things differently
  • Movement creates momentum - too much space without purpose can drain energy just as much as overwhelm
  • Being in "state" (aligned nervous system energy) matters more than the number of hours you work
  • Marketing is shifting from pain-focused to desire-focused as people become more proactive about wellbeing
