What inspired Sarah Jakes Roberts to start her journey?
I am so excited to share my debut book with you all, Start With Yourself, which is available now. You might have seen the headlines. You might have seen the social. But this book is exactly what I intended, a conversation that will make you think. And it's a blueprint for anyone who wants success without the toxic positivity. Start With Yourself is about self-reliance. leadership because wherever I go, women ask me how I got to where I am. But what you really want to know is how you can get there. So I'm doing what I do best, sharing and never gatekeeping what's worked for me in the hope that you can borrow from a philosophy that has served me so well. The truth is I'm not an expert. I've just lived it.
I've made the mistakes.
How did Sarah navigate the challenges of young motherhood?
I've had the failures and I've learned what actually works. It takes a lot. It takes the most. And this book is for anyone who's tired of feeling like a passenger in their own life. It's about taking responsibility for your thinking, managing your emotions and getting clear on your ideas and then knowing your next step. It's about picking yourself up after failure, being accountable, but also forgiving yourself, pushing for wins and never, ever apologising for your ambition. It's also about challenging the rules that you've been told. There is no perfect time. Balance isn't the goal. Alignment is. And there's nothing wrong with you wanting more. I'm precisely sure that the reason I've been so successful is so I can share it with you.
Start with yourself. My debut book is available now. Visit emagreed.com to purchase the book. Also available on Amazon, your favorite audio platforms, and all good bookshops.
So today's episode is for anyone who's ever hit rock bottom and wondered if there was actually something on the other side of that. Whether it's a mistake that you can't get past or you're in the middle of your worst chapter, it's a reframing of what to do with what's happened to you and how to use it to your advantage as you move forward.
What role does anger play in personal growth and entrepreneurship?
Sarah Jakes Roberts is a mother of six. She's a leader within a mega church, a best-selling author, and the force behind a truly global brand. She's also living proof of what success looks like when you embrace what life serves up for you and you move forward anyway. A wave of skincare products featuring the ingredient Blue Tansy has taken over the clean beauty space, and for good reason. Known for its naturally vibrant blue hue, Blue Tansy helps minimize inflation, calm irritation, and support stressed, sensitive skin. Primally Pure harnesses the power of this calming botanical across its soothing collection, formulated with real biocompatible ingredients that work in harmony with the body, not against it.
When skin or the nervous system feels overwhelmed, this collection is designed to help simplify and restore balance. Blue Tansy is a potent antioxidant that helps visibly reduce redness, discoloration and dryness, making it especially beneficial for skin prone to irritation or inflammation. The ingredient's soothing properties make it a standout for sensitive skin that reacts quickly. The collection spans both face and body, creating a cohesive head-to-toe calming ritual. It includes Primally Pure's cult favorite blue tansy deodorant, along with the soothing serum, body oil, and more, each designed to support calm, resilient skin. For those seeking a soothing, therapeutic complement to a richer winter skincare routine, Primally Pure's Blue Tansy products offer a gentle yet effective solution rooted in clean, intentional formulation.
