The Power of Vulnerability: Sarah Myer on Leadership, Loss & Using Your Voice

On paper, Sarah Myer looks like she has it all figured out.

As Chief of Staff & Strategy for the Indiana Sports Corp., she’s helped lead some of the biggest sporting events in Indianapolis — from NCAA Final Fours to the Olympic Swim Trials — operating on some of the biggest stages, with thousands watching.

But behind the scenes, her story is far more human -- and relatable to so many other badasses.

In this episode, Sarah opens up about the moments that shaped her — navigating divorce, grief, loss, and now walking alongside her mom through a cancer diagnosis — and how those experiences changed the way she leads, lives, and shows up for others.

At the center of it all is one belief: vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s a superpower.

We talk about:

• The difference between who people think you are vs. who you really are
• Why sharing your story helps others feel less alone
• Finding your voice — even when it’s uncomfortable
• What it means to be one of the only women in the room — and who you’re really speaking for
• Redefining leadership and workplace culture for women
• Rediscovering yourself after life changes everything

This conversation is honest, real, and deeply relatable — a reminder that strength doesn’t always look like having it all together.

Sometimes, it looks like showing up anyway.
