Sarah shares her transformative "red pen moment"—a time when she was laid off twice while on maternity leave, despite her loyalty and high performance.

3. Self-Worth in Business: The episode highlights the importance of knowing your worth and not settling for less, even if it means stepping outside your comfort zone to take control of your career.
