I sit down with my dear friend, and Culture Queen herself, Lya Badgley.  Lya has a story to tell and many of her life experiences helped shape her first 2 debut novels, "The Foreigner's Confession" & "The Worth of a Ruby."  We dive into what it was like being born and raised in Southeast Asia and what it truly takes to be an Indie Author. 

Lya's Website includes where to find her books as well as book club inquiries
Follow her on Social Media: Instagram & Facebook

Ever want to know what the conversation holds when 2 market directors get together?  It's therapeutic for us to vent, understand each other, and wax poetic about what we wish MORE people understood about us.

Tune in to learn about the mighty "off-season," along with self-care tips from one Sara to another.

I was excited to sit down (again, IYKYK) with Erik Newquist, creator of Aesir Meadery.  Mead, not "meat" as it's often misheard at farmers markets is alcohol made with honey.  It's an extremely important part of our ecosystem and helps support the bees and our farmers.

Learn more about science, the alcohol industry, and some of the rabbit holes we go down with Erik's colorful history.

Stay tuned after the outro for some fun pre-recording hilarity.

New year, new - NO.

Resolutions aren't my thing - but what is?  I'm all for vision boards and starting where we are, instead of changing who we are.

In this episode I talk about my Ins and Outs of 2024 along with my word of the year.

Through a series of unfortunate events, my scheduled episode didn't go as planned.  After 32 episodes I had my first "oh crap" moment.  In the effort of trying to find the silver linings I took some time to reflect on what it means to make mistakes and the lessons we can learn from them.

Other musings as well.

PS - it's episode #34 despite what I recorded!  More fun learning!

An unplanned episode where I elaborate on a recent Instagram story and also touch on boundaries and sitting in the uncomfortable space that many of us aren't used to.
