Journey of a Fearless Female Podcast

Sarah Sanchez didn’t know why she was constantly feeling fatigue or why she was having trouble breathing when she would just walk up and down the stairs. Her doctors either dismissed her concerns or claimed it was more of a psychological issue rather than a physical. It seemed like nobody took her illness seriously. Her health took a turn for seven years, until she began treatment for the unknown condition that was plaguing her – Lyme disease. Not satisfied with Western medicine and the U.S. health care system, Sarah slowly began using alternative medicine and changed her lifestyle to one that is focused on health and wellness. Now she hosts a podcast with her husband, Aaron, where they discuss the issues and solutions of Lyme disease.

You can listen to her podcast, Lyme Voice, find her on Facebook, check out her film, Disappearing from Society, and get her book, Little Bite Big Trouble.

Lynda Sunshine West had grown up in an abusive household as well as married to an abusive man, so she knew the feeling of living in fear. She realized fear had been holding her back for 51 years. One day she woke up and decided she was going to tackle her fears, one fear a day, for a whole year (she had way more than 365 fears). She quit her high paying job, sold her home, and almost went through her life savings trying to find her passion. Eventually, she discovered that by helping other women find their own voice for their businesses and their lives, she could find hers. During the process of doing more than 3,000 videos, she has gained the confidence that she never even knew she was missing.

Look for her on Facebook, on LinkedIn, on her website, Living Live Inc, and you can also buy her book The Year of Fears, about her year of tackling her 365 fears.
