In our first episode you will learn what inspired me, your host, Sarah O’Brien Hammond, to launch this magical platform. I have always been inspired by women and their stories and you can often find me huddled in the corner with a friend diving deep.  There are so many experiences, environments and people that shape us into the person we are today.  Unfortunately, many of us don't sit in that space of reflection to really dissect those experiences and how they weave into the fabric of our lives. The first question I ask of all my guests is, who and what were your earliest influences in life and what impact did that have on you?  I am so excited for you to hear all the inspiring conversations that followed and for you to feel as moved and healed as I do. Enjoy.
