Is balancing the many things you are in charge of in your life too much? This week’s guest, Sarah Johnson, shares how a shift in her career forced her to learn how to lead without a title, balance multiple jobs, and explore her spiritual well being to enhance her influence. 
In this episode, we also discuss:
  • Serving Beyond a Title
  • Balancing Multiple Projects
  • Techniques to assist in the chaos 
  • And the IN AWE Podcast!
