    World Narcolepsy Day with Julie Flygare, President & CEO of Project Sleep

    #39: In this episode, I chat with Julie Flygare, President & CEO of Project Sleep about World Narcolepsy Day 2021 (celebrated on September 22nd each year). I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy while I was a college student at Colorado State. Then in 2014, my cataplexy symptoms developed. This is a neurological condition that has so many stigmas and misinformation. I'm so grateful to Julie for the work she's doing to help people get diagnosed faster and just general awareness.

    Starting Eliminates Fear. It's time to start your thing today. Cam Palu on STARTING.

    #38: The podcast is back!!:) I am so happy. It’s been one year, to the day. This episode is for YOU, you're going to feel very motivated to take action on your project or goal today. Let me tell you about our guest, Cam Palu. Cam is one half of the dynamic duo known as Camiah. She’s a fun haver, email coder, coffee drinker, video creator, artist, drawing maker, wannabe chef, kid wrangler, and wishful comedian. She’s also my friend who I met when I worked at a digital marketing agency in Denver. She’s very good at helping people START the things they have been wanting to start. She volunteered to be my first guest for the reboot of my podcast after the maternity break. Cam was a guest for episode 6 of the show (back when it was still called Present Not Perfect). That episode was titled "How To Be Creative Everyday. Why Just Starting Eliminates Fear"  Cam is so wise and motivating. This episode is all about STARTING and DOING. She has some really great insights on why you can’t over think it and why you must just start today. You will always adjust and get better. But starting NOW, is what it’s all about.  Cam is out to make the world a kinder, more inclusive space. Like, how amazing is that? But you know what the best part is? She is actually living this every day in how she shows up in the world and how she raises her two boys. She is teaching her two kids how to make others feel seen. I almost teared up at this part. She said, many people don’t ever feel seen in their day to day life. So whether it’s saying hi to someone one the street, or going up to a kid in class because you can just tell that he has a tough home life. We talk about this in the episode too.  Please hit me up on Instagram. I would love to know what you think! Or what project you’re starting. Let me know how I can help.  XO, Leyla  To connect with Leyla Sarper click HERE To connect with Cam Palu click HERE Learn more about Cam & Camiah HERE

    Podcast Maternity Break - I'll Be Back Soon!

    Hey there! It’s Leyla. I wanted to give an update on the podcast. As I’m recording this I am 39 weeks pregnant and about to pop literally any day now… I am so excited to welcome my second baby girl into the world. Check out my Instagram @LeylaSarper I am sure it will be filled with baby pics and story updates. The plan for the podcast is to take a break while I’m on maternity leave so I can fully be present with the new baby and my family and try not to be a sleep-deprived zombie. But I’ll be back! I’m guessing starting back up Dec 1st, but who knows, maybe I’ll just wait till the new year. I’m just playing it by ear. It could be sooner too! I’m not going to put any hard deadlines on myself. Thank you for supporting the podcast with your time. It means the world to me that you’ve listened to one episode, or a few, or more! I know, you’re devastated there won’t be any new episodes to listen to, so I will recommend my favorite podcast, The Skinny Confidential, The GaryVee Audio Experience, and The Motherly Podcast. All solid choices. 2020 has been...challenging. But has also been a blessing in disguise for many of us as we’ve had to take a good hard look at what we want to do in life. Now is the time to take action. Take messy action. Do not fall into the perfection trap. Just move forward. And don’t care what people say. They will try to talk you out of it potentially or give their reasons why you won’t be good at that thing. Don’t listen. You know what’s the truth because you’ll feel it in your gut. Listen to your intuition. Don’t have regret. Just try and remember there’s really no such thing as failing. Just learning! I love you and I know you can do it. See you over on Instagram :) Love, Leyla
