From High-Functioning Anxiety To Intuitive Leadership - Sara Byers : 179

What if the life you’re chasing can’t be caught because it’s already inside you?

In this episode, we sit down with Sara Byers, CEO, intuitive strategist, poet, and leader of her family’s business, Leonardo’s Pizza, for a heartfelt conversation about success, anxiety, and coming home to yourself. Sara also chairs multiple corporate and nonprofit boards and is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from Champlain College.

She shares how dropping out of college cracked her perfect façade, how a 70% pay cut led her to unexpected purpose, and how an unexpected song the night her stepfather passed reshaped her understanding of connection. We explore high-functioning anxiety, public achievement and private collapse, becoming Reiki certified, receiving over 3,500 poems, and bringing grounded intuition into boardrooms and governance spaces.

This isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about leading with presence. About learning to distinguish fear from inner guidance. About redefining success by how fully you show up.

If you’ve ever felt like an imposter or reached a milestone only to feel empty, this conversation offers practical wisdom, honest stories, and a new way forward.
