October 05, 2018Changing The Conversation With Jenny Schatzle: Voices 30
All movement is good movement, according to mom of twins and fitness/motivation powerhouse Jenny Schatzle. It’s not about getting our bodies back after baby (wait until you hear Jenny’s response to that one!); it’s about choosing to live life in alignment with who we want to be. Jenny gets vulnerable about her transition to motherhood, her role as a leader and entrepreneur, and the tricky business of staying authentic AND positive online when you’re a public persona. Join Sarah and guest Jenny Schatzle for this month’s Voices interview–it’s a must-listen conversation. Enjoy!
