What if the advice you have been following was built for someone with one lane, while you are running five? The Moxie Movement Podcast is for the woman who has already built something significant with her own hands, her own time, and on borrowed margins. The one taking the 3pm call from her mum with a client at 3:15. The one who knows, somewhere around 11pm, that she has built a business that works only as long as she keeps holding it up. Each week, Sarah Greener names the thing nobody else in this space will say out loud. She brings the frameworks that turn a fragile business into one strong enough to run without you, a depleted woman into one resourced enough to rise, and revenue you can't access into returns you actually keep. The structural work of building a business and a life Built For Generations. About your host. Sarah is the founder of The Moxie Movement. She built her way out of the broken architecture most women in business are still trying to make work, and now she hands the frameworks back to the women coming up behind her. Three outcomes drive everything she teaches: Generous Capacity, Enduring Strength, Rewarding Returns. A business strong enough to run without you. A family resourced enough to rise because of you. A legacy steady enough to outlast you. That is the work.Copyright 2026 Sarah Greener Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success

  • Want or Should? Set Goals You Actually Want

    Want or Should? Set Goals You Actually Want
    26 Oct 2026

    At the end of last year, a client showed me her goals for the year ahead. It was a really good list. Respectable. The kind you read out at a networking event and everyone nods. So I asked her to go down it and mark each one. Do you want this, or do you think you should want it? She got a third of the way down and stopped. Nearly every tick was a should.

    She'd written a whole year out of other people's goals, in her own handwriting. And she was about to spend twelve months chasing them.

    Some goals pull you towards something you want. Others push you away from something you're scared of: falling behind, looking stalled, what people might think. The pushing kind runs on willpower, and willpower is a tank. It empties right about when the gyms go empty in February. So if you drop your goals every year, look hard at the list before you blame your discipline.

    What you'll walk away with:

    - Why a list of shoulds goes flat by March, even the ones you hit

    - Goals you run towards and goals you run away from, and why only one kind lasts twelve months

    - How a sales target gets dressed up as ambition

    - Why willpower runs out, and why a business owner's tank empties first

    - Permission to want a quieter year, a consolidation year, a year that won't photograph well

    - Name the want first, and the plan falls out of it

    - Called It: "I set goals every year and never meet them. What am I doing wrong?"

    - The secret test: keep only the goals you'd still chase if nobody ever knew

    Your task this week: before you open a single planner or 90-day challenge, finish this sentence. "For the business and for me, what I actually want next year is..." Read it out loud, and check whether you're running towards it or away from something.

    If you want to build next year around your life instead of at the expense of it, start with my book, Built For You: https://go.themoxiemovement.com/get-built-for-you-book

    What to listen to next:

    - Finding what you want when you've lost track of it:

    - Measuring success with your own ruler

    If this one helped, hit follow, so next week's episode turns up right when you need it. That's where we turn your sentence into a year that can actually run.

    Got a question about the goals you're setting for next year? Drop it here and I might answer it on a future episode.

  • What Did Your Business Pay You This Year?

    What Did Your Business Pay You This Year?
    19 Oct 2026
    Last December I sat with a client while she went through her year-end list. Bonuses for her team, worked out to the dollar. Gifts for her key clients. The family trip she'd promised the kids. Tax put aside. She had a number for every person sitting at the table in her business.Then I asked her what the business paid her this year. Not turnover. Not sales. Her. She didn't have a number. The woman who built the table couldn't give one for herself.The end of the year is when the money moves. It flows out in every direction, and it's probably the most generous season in your business calendar. This episode is about the one place that generosity rarely reaches. And about the order money leaves your business in, because that order shows exactly where you've ranked yourself.What you'll walk away with:- Why year end is when the money flows out to everyone but you- The one number most business owners never add up- Your two pay packets: the wage for your work, and the return for the risk you carry- The last creditor pattern, showing up again in a Santa hat- Why being paid last is an instruction you wrote, and can rewrite- When generosity turns into a subsidy you fund yourself- Called It: "Isn't it selfish to pay myself more at Christmas?"- Why Christmas bonuses belong to outcomes, not expectationsYour task this week: total what this business actually paid you this year. Your wage plus the profit, from what hit your bank account, not what it says on the tax return. Then ask yourself one question. If next year rolled out exactly like this, would that number be okay?If that number lands wrong, book a Fit Check Call. Let's have a real conversation about where you're at, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way. We'll explore whether working together is the right fit and identify the next best step to help you grow your business without sacrificing yourself in the process.What to listen to next:- Why a busy year still leaves you short- Why you keep paying yourself lastHit follow, so next week's episode turns up without you having to do anything.Got a question about paying yourself properly this Christmas?

  • My Business Can't Run Two Weeks Without Me

    My Business Can't Run Two Weeks Without Me
    12 Oct 2026

    You came back from the school holidays with the same tired face as every other woman in the room. You kept things ticking over. You answered emails from a chair by the pool while the kids did bombs, and you used the slow weeks to get ahead. Then term started and you were already behind, running on a tank you never got round to refilling.

    Serious athletes don't train flat out all year. They plan hard blocks, maintenance blocks and deliberate recovery blocks, because the muscle rebuilds stronger in the rest. Skip the rest and you get injured. Your summer is the recovery block for your business, and most of us keep raiding it for the jobs we didn't finish.

    "Rest more" is useless advice when a sick kid woke you at 2am. So this episode is a build, in three steps, and the order matters.

    What you'll walk away with:

    - Why you come back from the holidays more depleted than you left

    - What serious athletes plan into their year that business owners skip

    - Why "I'll catch up on holiday" damages the next term before it starts

    - Step one: block the break first, like a flight you've already paid for

    - Step two: build the last weeks of the year backwards from the break

    - Step three: whatever only you can hold over the break becomes this term's project

    - Called It: "Sarah, my business really can't run for two weeks without me."

    - The difference between "only I can do this" and "I never set it up so someone else could"

    Your task this week: open the calendar and block the summer holidays, or the next school holidays, before a single piece of work goes in. Then build backwards from the break.

    If you want a business strong enough to run while you're at the beach, start with my book, Built For You.

    What to listen to next:

    - Building a business that holds while you're away

    - Planning your year around the seasons you actually live

    If this helped you plan a real break, hit follow, so the next episode turns up right when you need it.
