Episode Details

"When you're connected to source, you're plugged into the mains. But when you're in hustle, you're using your own battery pack, and you haven't recharged it." – Dr. Sarah Coxin

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dr. Sarah Coxin for a raw, live coaching conversation on what's really behind the hustle trap. Sarah is a former archaeologist turned transformation coach who helps women build lives of real prosperity — joy, freedom, and impact. But even she gets pulled back into fear-driven hustle. In this episode, Niiamah coaches Sarah through perfectionism, community fear, and the exhaustion cycle — until they land on the real question every outlier needs to ask: where is your energy actually coming from? If you're high-achieving but running on empty, this one is for you.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
