Sarah Barnes-Humphrey is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and fierce advocate for self-worth and authentic leadership.
She’s best known as the founder and host of Let’s Talk Supply Chain™, one of the top 1% most downloaded podcasts globally — but her journey to becoming a voice in the industry didn’t come easily. After working in her family business for over a decade, Sarah lost her job, sold her house, and found herself at a personal and professional crossroads.
Instead of staying silent, she picked up a mic.
Since then, she’s built a powerful platform dedicated to amplifying voices that often go unheard — particularly women and underrepresented communities. Through her Women in Supply Chain™ series, Blended podcast, and nonprofit Blended Pledge, Sarah continues to create safe spaces where vulnerability leads to real transformation.
Now, she’s sharing her personal story in a brand-new way — through her debut memoir and #1 Amazon
Bestseller, I Buried Her in a French Press. The book is a raw, honest reflection on identity, loss, and finding your voice after you’ve lost it. It’s a story of self-worth, resilience, and learning that you are your best advocate.
Whether she’s on stage, behind the mic, or writing her truth, Sarah is committed to helping others feel seen, heard, and empowered to tell their own story — unapologetically.
