Welcome to Savory Passage! What is your next thing? Your next risk? When you think about ‘your future-you’ what do you see? 

This is Part One of a two-part segment. We’ll introduce you to a few women who found their next thing, identified the risks, and walked boldly into the unknown with passion and excitement.

In Part Two, we bring you another  dreamscape with a charitable twist. The take-away in all of this is to have a clear vision of what your next thing looks like. Check your signals.

This episode features a discussion on Self-Care During the Pandemic. Let’s start with the takeaway.

By focusing on what makes us feel nourished...on what gives us meaning, is part of easing those feelings and giving us a more solid foundation." 

So, what is self-care? Tune in to this episode to find out more.

“As women, we have a different type of strength. Not physical strength, but mental, emotional and spiritual. We are the backbone of the family. Handling, digesting and dealing with multiple components of life at the same time and still carry on with our emotions and everyday lives."
