Season 8 Episode 3: Existing Through the "Icky" Space with Sascha Schlossberg

Author: Lisa Kuzman September 29, 2022 Duration: 43:27

This week, I'm super excited to share my conversation with Sascha Schlossberg! An internet marketer since 2013, Sascha  utilizes a mix of brand messaging and content strategy that makes it easy to help her clients grow — without having to hire anyone or implement more things. Her background in acting has given her insights into human psychology that underpins her work and makes lead generation strategy a breeze.

She also shares so candidly when speaking about all aspects of her journey: personal, professional, you name it. We had an amazing time talking all about:

  • Showing up responsibly as a leader with your content
  • How doing everything "right" doesn't necessarily mean you'll make everybody happy
  • Compartmentalization, gratitude, and forgiveness
  • Growing a business (with your partner!) while also navigating the unexpected trauma responses to that growth

and so much more!

"[I was on] this hamster wheel of how do I prevent this? How do I prevent this? And then it just resulted in all of these blocks [...] because so much of the messaging and what people are talking around trauma is like this responsibility and this duty to not traumatize your clients. When, what I had found was that in all of my efforts to do everything right, I was the one that was buried and nobody talked about that."

Sascha, I can't thank you enough for coming onto the show this week! I know the listeners will enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Interested in learning more about working with Sascha? Check her out at the links below:

There's a quiet shift happening in how we think about authority and influence, and New Wave Leadership Podcast is right at the heart of it. Host Lisa Kuzman believes traditional, top-down leadership models have run their course, proving ineffective for today's complex world. Instead, this movement champions a much broader, more inclusive vision. Each episode digs into the real, often unspoken challenges that come with stepping into a role of influence, whether you're in a corner office, a community group, or simply leading your own life. The conversations here actively work to expand our definition of who gets to be a leader, arguing passionately for the necessity of diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences at the helm. You'll hear frank discussions about authenticity, the personal hurdles leaders navigate behind closed doors, and practical ideas for cultivating your own unique leadership identity without conforming to outdated standards. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a necessary dialogue-one that moves beyond theory to explore what it genuinely means to show up and make an impact on your own terms.
