the saus podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Ever feel like you need ALL the answers before making a move, Sausers? In this episode, hosts Molly and Liz are diving into the 80/20 rule—but not the one you're thinking of. They're talking about how decision-making is actually 80% courage and only 20% certainty, why healing requires surrendering to what happened before you can take action, and how self-trust is built through the tiny promises you keep to yourself every single day. If you're an all-or-nothing person (hi, it's them), this conversation is going to resonate. They're breaking down how to find peace with not having it all figured out and why that might actually be the most powerful move you can make. Let's get into it.

Have you received an email at work and thought, "this email is concise and clear on the ask," how do I write more like this. Or maybe, you are good at writing direct and clear emails, and when you receive emails from colleagues, you want to give them tips to cut out words like sorry, just, very, and should.

This week's episode of The Saus covers clear and bold language in emails and what words to remove that might sound passive or perhaps unassertive.

An ep from the vault and not to miss! Enjoy, Sausers!

In the 21st century, we rarely see what we saw people 40 years ago do. Work at one company for X amount of years and retire. Today, depending on our careers, we are lucky to work at a few different companies. And sometimes when we leave a company, we are sad to leave even though we know it's is right. In this episode, your hosts discuss something we've never spoken about before on The Saus, grieving the 'loss' of a job. Why you should do it, why it is crucial, and why take the time to mourn. We hope you enjoy, Sausers!

In this episode of The Saus, hosts Molly McKinstry and Liz Hajjar dive into the often-overlooked topic of career seasons. They explore the natural ebb and flow of professional life, from periods of intense hustle and growth to times of steady maintenance and even moments of bold reinvention.

They offer valuable perspectives on balancing career ambitions with personal life, managing burnout, and the courage it takes to consider a complete career pivot.
