  • Absolutely Essential

    This series of podcast is consistently outstanding!!

    Sarah, you have a very unique way of “inviting” every guest into their ‘best self’ and to the heart of what is most needed from their unique body of work.

    This subject matter is long, long overdue in our human culture.

    Deep gratitude for pursuing and excelling in a subject matter that is so often ignored or avoided.

    Respectfully, EW
