Pathfinders 2 - Sarah Tucker: How Grief Of The Voice Gave Birth To A Movement
12/19/22 • 69 min
Some may see her as something of an overnight sensation, such has been the meteoric rise of her company, The Mortgage Mum, in such a relatively short space of time, but as ever, the truth is always different.
Sarah Tucker is not your average mortgage broker, having achieved the rarest of feats by getting not 1, but 4 chair turns on The Voice in 2019, and anyone who has heard her sing knows that she has a very special gift.
Although her journey to pop superstardom did not pan out as planned, not yet anyway, as a busy working mum Sarah found her way back into the mortgage industry and founded The Mortgage Mum after seeing that women like herself, who needed flexibility and a work family that understands each other, did not have the choices they needed.
She believes that balance is the key to happiness and promotes self-development, self-care, and spirituality.
I am sure her story will be of interest to you.
In this episode, we chat about many things, including:
• Little Sarah the Disney Princess
• Not fitting in and realising everything is not a little bit Disney
• How singing gave her confidence
• Lessons from The Voice – Elation and Devastation
• Starting a business out of grief
• The Mortgage Mum as a movement – “lift as you climb”
• Diversity, Equity and The Mortgage Dad
• TV as validation
• Overexposure and dealing with critics
• The best piece of advice Sarah ever had
• The one person you would want to meet in history and what would you ask them
This is the Pathfinder Podcast, may the path you take be the right one for you.
