    Being Authentically You

    Wow, 10 episodes! Can you believe that?! I'm pretty stoked to close the season out with none other than SarahRose! She's a force of joy and positivity to be reckoned with, and in this podcast, we talk about her various active jobs (Daybreaker, barr3, yoga instructor, life coaching, Salomon Runner, Rover, etc...), being comfortably awkward, and authentically you.  With Season 2 coming up, I wanted to share some ways you can help support this podcast - Interact! Sharing right now would be the most effective (and free) way to help. I want to make sure I'm bringing more value to more people, so any shares on all platforms help. Likes and comments are always welcomed too! - Sponsorship and/or Crowd funding: Are you a business owner? Do you sell goods and/or services? Are you knowledgeable in crowd-funding. If yes to any of these statements, please message me! I'd love to connect! - Technical Help: I want to focus more on being a better communicator/interviewer, and it's hard to do that when setting up mics, lights, and cameras. I'm looking for either a dedicated space or someone to help with technical aspects of the podcast.
