Embracing the Work You’re Avoiding — with return guest Sarah Cunningham

When we last spoke to Sarah Cunningham, she was trying to figure out how she wanted to show up in the world as both an executive leader and a boxer.

Today we’re thrilled to have her back on the show to share how she recalibrated her life, her work, and her values over the past year — and to tell us why she feels more in alignment than ever.

Join us for inspiration to meet this moment with creativity, accountability, and discipline. And be sure to listen to the end for an invitation to do this crucial work in community with other leaders this spring!
