How to Build Something Meaningful From Your Worst Chapter (Sarah Jakes Roberts)

Über diese Folge

<p>Sarah Jakes Roberts is not a traditional entrepreneur. She’s the daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the most prominent pastors in America. Sarah became a mother at 13—and in the years that followed, she carried the weight of that story in public, under a spotlight she never asked for. </p> <p>This conversation is about what happens when the thing you’re most ashamed of becomes the thing you build from. Today, Sarah co-leads a megachurch while raising a blended family of six. But she didn’t set out to lead a global movement, launch conferences that fill stadiums, host a top-ranked podcast, operate more than a dozen revenue streams, or become a bestselling author. She started a blog because she had something to say and an instinct that other women might see parts of themselves in her story. It turned out to be millions of women. </p> <p>In today’s conversation, Sarah sits down with Emma to talk about calling, responsibility, and a feeling she describes as being “willing to do what I’ve been trusted with.” </p> <p>Sarah shares:</p> <ul> <li> <p>The relationship between anger and people-pleasing—and why suppressing one feeds the other</p> </li> <li> <p>What Old Thoughts look like when you've been carrying them since you were 13</p> </li> <li> <p>How she went from a blog with a million views to a global conference and a publishing operation without a traditional business strategy</p> </li> <li> <p>What young motherhood taught her about shame and building something real from the chapter most people would want to erase</p> </li> <li> <p>Where ministry ends and business begins—and how she navigates making millions from a unique calling without losing what built it</p> </li> </ul> <p>What’s something in your life that you need to move past?  Drop it in the comments — we're reading.
