What if the blocks in your business have nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with the unseen patterns running beneath it?

Hosted by business coach and systemic guide Sarah Berckenkamp, The Shadow Business Podcast reveals the hidden dynamics that shape your money, your clients, your launches, and your leadership.

Each episode (launched every Thursday morning) takes you beneath the surface of entrepreneurship into the world of family systems, nervous system responses, and emotional inheritance; so you can finally understand why you get stuck, why you sabotage yourself, and why success sometimes feels harder than it should.

This is not just another business podcast.
It’s a deep, unfiltered look at the shadows behind your strategy and the powerful breakthroughs available when you choose to lead differently.


For entrepreneurs who are ready to trade quick fixes for real transformation, The Shadow Business Podcast offers truth, clarity, and a way to build your business from the deepest foundation possible: all of you.

  • Collapsing While Hustling for Freedom - Zoe Collins
    May 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Through EFT tapping and intuitive guidance, Zoe Collins helps high-achieving leaders dismantle the subconscious beliefs holding them back in work, money, and visibility.

    Zoe launched her digital consultancy driven by a deep need for independence and autonomy; to build a business that supported her life rather than burning her out. She had the qualifications, the experience, and the technical skills. On paper, success seemed inevitable. But the reality was far harder than expected.

    Every rejection felt personal. Every quiet month felt threatening. Every income gap felt like confirmation of a story she was desperately trying to escape.
    What she discovered was that she wasn't just building a business — she was constantly negotiating with a deep-rooted fear of instability, unconsciously recreating the very patterns she wanted to leave behind.

    The result? Emotional exhaustion disguised as hustle.
    A client saying no didn't just mean "not this project"; it felt like proof she might not be enough. That's the shadow work that changed everything.

    In this episode, Zoe shares how she broke the cycle and how EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) became a powerful tool for long-term mindset shifts and subconscious healing.

  • Win At Trial Reels Without Losing Yourself
    May 14 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Okay so.
    You want to win at trial reels.
    You also want to still feel like yourself while doing it.
    And honestly?? That is the most important thing I have ever heard someone say about Instagram.

    This episode is for the woman who knows, she KNOWS, that trial reels could change everything for her business.
    And is still somehow not filming them.
    And it is not because she doesn't get the strategy.
    It is because showing up to a room full of strangers and going hi, this is me, please don't be weird about it is activating something that has nothing to do with the algorithm.

    We are getting into all of it today.
    The technique, the emotional architecture, the shadow underneath the avoidance, and exactly how to craft trial reels that make strangers stop mid-scroll; without losing yourself in the process.

    In this episode:
    → Why trial reels have nothing to do with you and everything to do with human emotion
    → How they work completely differently to your main feed
    → The shadow underneath why you're not using them yet → How I use trial reels as ads to grow my mailing list
    → A sneak peek at Viral Virgins 🌊
