Summary

Sarah Walton is a business mentor who’s been featured on The Today Show, speaks at women's conferences all over the world, and has helped hundreds of women start and grow businesses they LOVE. Originally from Salt Lake City, Sarah spent her 15-year corporate career in New York City, navigating the male-dominated world of tech, managing a P&L worth hundreds of millions of dollars, working closely with Marianne Williamson, mentoring dozens of women, and balancing motherhood at the same time. She’s the voice behind the Game On Girlfriend Podcast, and she's known for her weekly "Sarah Uncut" TV show on YouTube and LIVE "Coffee With Coach" streaming video conversations on Monday mornings. When Sarah and I first started talking about things we could talk about on the show, she casually mentioned “high functioning co-dependency” and I immediately stopped her and exclaimed, “THAT’S IT.” There is quite possibly nothing my audience needs more. And, full disclosure… I knew I would benefit from this conversation too - and I did!! For better or worse, if you’re a high functioning, overachiever, people pleaser kinda person, I think you’ll learn a lot about yourself in this episode.   Listen in to hear Sarah share: Her Grocery Store story that began her season of being a high-functioning co-dependence daughter  Why women are so high functioning and how this leads us to codependency What keeps us locked into high-functioning codependency habits The one question to ask yourself if you think you’re trapped in codependent habits The devastating role of self betrayal in codependency Dig into my own examples of high functioning codependency - yikes…… Why we, as women, are so reluctant to self-promote ourselves and market our brilliance   Links mentioned: Connect with Sarah: sarahwalton.com Sarah Uncut on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SarahWalton1 Podcast: Game On Girlfriend Book: The Gift of Failure Sarah on IG Sarah on FB Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy? Email our sales team at [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
