Can true leadership not start in a boardroom — but instead on a farm?

For Sarah Beth Aubrey, that’s exactly where her story began. Growing up in rural Illinois taught her the lessons of grit, patience, and the power of planting something that takes time to grow. Those same roots would later inspire her to become a pioneering voice in agriculture, entrepreneurship, and leadership—founding multiple businesses and redefining what it means to lead with both impact and authenticity.

In this episode of REWARD: The Podcast of The Trust, host Ali Brown sits down with Sarah for a refreshingly honest conversation about reinvention, resilience, and what it really takes to thrive through every season — personally and professionally. From surviving breast cancer to leading industry change, Sarah shares how she’s turned her own evolution into a blueprint for women ready to live and lead with purpose.

On this episode of the #REWARDPodcast, you’ll hear:

• How Sarah’s rural upbringing shaped her drive and clarity as a founder and leader

• Why saying “no” is sometimes the most powerful move in business (and life)

• The real secret to balancing ambition with *peace* — and the value of slowing down to make a bigger impact

• Sarah’s reflections on vulnerability as strength and the freedom that comes from leading authentically

• The importance of building community and finding rooms (like The Trust) that challenge you to grow

A powerful listen for any woman redefining success on her own terms — and ready to lead from both strength and soul.
