Episode 57: Sasha Sagan

The fact that anything works out is amazing! If you believe that everything was always going to happen then falling in love, or running into your old friend, then it’s inevitable. If it’s wild chaos, then when things work out it’s more amazing & more beautiful.
— Sasha Sagan

Guys! The episode you’re about it here is awesome and it’s an example of what can happen when you play big.  After finishing & loving Sasha Sagan’s book, For Small Creatures Such as We, I immediately thought - she needs to be on the podcast! I wanted to talk more about the book, I wanted to have a conversation with this person to whom I saw similarities to myself, and I wanted to bring this important conversation about community, rituals, science and religion to all of you.  So I did just what I coach my clients to do. I went online, found her email and emailed her about why I loved the book, the impact it had on me, and would she be a guest. To my surprise and delight, she was a Yes! On this episode we talk about her story, why the book matters, the importance of curiosity, learning and having a strong friend squad no matter how far apart you may live today.  All that and so much more.
