On this week's episode of the Time to Practice podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Sarah Hart-Unger, MD, parent of three, podcaster and author of the new book Best Laid Plans: A Simple Planning System for Living a Life You LOVE. I'm a huge fan of Sarah's podcast(s) and book and when I heard that she grew up involved in music, practices with one of her own children, and currently plays her piano to enrich her life as an adult I was so excited to have her on the podcast to share her story and ideas about planning with us.
