Have you ever wondered if there is something more? Are you ready for something to change, but aren’t sure how to get started…or even what to change? Do you dream of living life on your own terms, full of purpose and the ability to choose what’s best for you? Are you ready to live stoked? You’ve come to the right place! In this podcast, we will explore what it means to live stoked. To live a life on your terms, one where we’ve tossed away the pressures of roles, expectations, and identities that have been put on you and that you did not choose, is a bold choice. Frankly, it’s a series of small choices in micro-moments that lead to a bold life. I am Sarah Bettman, coach, consultant, and speaker, but more importantly, I’m a person who found myself waking up in the wrong life and needed to find a way to me. I am on a mission to unravel the things we tell ourselves, the roles and/or identities we’ve taken on, and the expectations that drive our decision making, so that we can begin to live our most authentic and stoked lives. My guests and I will share our stories, solutions, and multitude of ideas…since one size definitely doesn’t not fit all. My hope is that you will find something meaningful for you, in the moment, that will move you forward on your path.

In this final 29029 Trail series episode, I explore the contrasting approaches to life: viewing it through the lens of expectations versus embracing it as a series of personal choices. Drawing from my own experiences, particularly the challenges faced during the 29029 ultra-endurance event, I reflect on the lessons learned about growth, agency, and the importance of community. I discuss how shifting my perspective on struggles can transform them into valuable learning experiences rather than obstacles.

Courtney has recently transitioned from a 22-year career in beverage marketing to embarking on an entrepreneurial path with her new venture, The Outlier Initiative. In this episode, we explore the often-unappreciated toil that comes from acting based on perceived responsibilities, as Courtney reflects on her past experiences. We'll look at distinguishing tasks that align with personal values versus organizational demands, touching on the grieving process that leaving a job can feel like. Courtney shares poignant insights on balancing family life, shedding the "supermom" persona, and breaking free from the cycle of linking productivity to self-worth.

As the founder of The Outlier Initiative, Courtney brings her expertise to growth-stage brands, helping them cut through the noise and achieve breakout success. Her approach is rooted in creating deep human connections between brands and consumers, clearly defining how a brand will win, and activating a bold ecosystem around it that is unconstrained by category norms.

Welcome to part four of my 29029 series (the first three are linked below). In this episode, I share my deep thoughts on the journey during the 29029 event, where I pushed myself to complete three marathons over three days. I reflect on the dual perspectives we can adopt in life—one of rigid expectations versus one of embracing growth through our choices. My personal struggles during the event show the unique nature of challenges and the importance of resilience. I candidly discuss a pivotal moment of doubt at mile 17, where I learned that quitting not only affects how I view myself but also limits my potential. The support from fellow participants and coaches reinforced the value of community in overcoming obstacles. Crossing the finish line, I ponder the narratives we construct around failure and success, aiming to cultivate a mindset that celebrates personal growth. My journey serves as a metaphor for life’s challenges, promoting resilience and the power of support as I plan for future adventures. 29029 Episodes: 18. Becoming More of Me 35.

34. Challenging Assumptions About Disability and Embracing Inclusive Leadership with Toby Mildon 50:33

for 26 weeks siden50:33

50:33

Today I have invited my guest, Toby Mildon, to discuss the critical yet often overlooked aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), especially regarding disability. In this episode, Toby shares personal experiences, from misconceptions about his relationship to navigating discrimination and discovering his identity. We discuss the differing emphases on race, gender, and disability in DEI initiatives in the US and UK, stressing the need for genuine understanding and prioritization in organizations. We'll also explore societal portrayals of disability, the concept of "inspiration porn," and the role of empathy in leadership. Toby also introduces the SEEDS model to tackle unconscious biases. Meet Toby: Toby Mildon is a Diversity & Inclusion Architect who is passionate about creating diverse workplaces and cultures that are inclusive. He has helped some of the UK's largest companies, including the BBC, Deloitte, Sony, and HarperCollins Publishing, improve staff retention, brand innovation, productivity, and performance. Toby's lifelong passion for Diversity and Inclusion stems from his personal and professional experiences with inequality, and his belief that building a culture of inclusive growth is essential for organizational success. Toby's Inclusive Growth Culture Programme helps businesses implement real change and avoid shallow and superficial diversity initiatives. If a company has more than 250 employees, or is intending to grow to this size, Toby is the right person to help drive the business forward and achieve new heights. He speaks passionately about how moving beyond superficial diversity initiatives and building a culture of inclusive growth is essential. It addresses the underlying issues of inequality and creates a sustainable framework for continued growth and success. Toby's book, Inclusive Growth: Future-proof your business by creating a diverse workplace, provides a practical framework that enables you to deliver a sustainable, diverse and inclusive workplace that allows your organization to grow. The book helps you understand how to strategically align diversity and inclusion to organizational growth, change the culture and motivate senior leaders to ‘walk the talk’ for inclusivity, design and implement a sustainable inclusivity infrastructure, work as a whole organization rather than in HR isolation, and celebrate your inclusivity to become an employer of choice in your industry.

In today's episode, I share an unexpectedly profound lesson from a simple morning walk and my time spent with a whale. Yes, you read that right! A whale has mysteriously been enjoying life in the local harbor close to our home. And as I find myself skipping my rigorous training session to spend time observing my new aquatic friend, this encounter sparks reflections on the importance of slowing down, tuning into natural rhythms, and observing life with mindful presence. This time helped me create parallels between my serene observations with the work I do in coaching, and how taking time to understand cadence and nuance can guide us in both personal growth and effective leadership. Join me for this heartfelt and contemplative episode as we uncover leadership wisdom from my new friend, Whaley McWhale Face, and explore how to live and lead with authenticity and grace.
