The Shadow Business Podcast
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.

About 2 years ago, I stopped myself and wondered; what am I doing?
What am I working for?
Yes, for money and because I love my business, but it felt like the money was falling into a valley of "goodbye I'll never see you again".
And I heard all these people talk about having assets, having a certain net worth, having a very clear idea on when they would retire.
And I had no idea, even though I was raised to be financially independent, this was drilled by my mother who at one point had to make a really hard decision around money and divorcing my father.
So of course, I care about money, because I've seen how it's broken my family and it still makes me sad to this day.
But my imprint from a young age became; never rely on somebody else for your money. Build your own income.
But then I noticed a certain pattern; money came in and it went out again. I was certainly a 'victim' of lifestyle inflation, which meant my wallet grew with me ;-).
And at one point 2 years ago, I thought: no more.
So I went to talk to financial advisors, wealth managers, asset managers, all of them. And they were all men by the way, who were impressed by my income and services (Oh I thought you just had a fluffy business...), but they had no idea what my core values were.
I know I don't live a lineair life and I know you don't either.
Your life can take turns and has its seasons.
So you'll need to build something that's unique to you.
Where you'll look at your own wealth identity, the architecture of your wealth plan and the acceleration.
And especially for you, I've created a free e-book on this. How you can create your wealth plan and take it seriously this time. Because I know it's not just write some numbers down, no, it is way more.

Want to know how your subconscious influences your life?
In February 2026, I was invited to the 500-person Yes Life Summit, where I shared a Yes to Life hypnosis. Inside you will see what's currently blocking you in saying yes to yourself.
You can listen to the hypnosis for free: https://bureausbb.com/hypnosis
