Simple but impactful

I love listening to Sara‘s podcast because the topics are relevant for a small biz owner leaving the classroom. The tips, strategies, and encouragement on the show are easy to follow, but make a huge impact in my business and my mindset. This podcast is like talking to your friend at a coffee shop and leaving feeling empowered and ready to kick butt!
