This Episode’s Heavy-hitter’s:

Sarah was massively into theatre when she was younger. She had an instructor that once said if his students weren’t fully invested in theatre, they should leave. Sarah truly loved theatre but knew she didn’t really want to be an actress later in life, so it got her thinking about what she did want to do.

Part of the new normal might not have as much to do with masks and social distancing as it will have to do with trauma and divisiveness. After such a polarizing time where politics were on display in the workplace, there needs to be a readjustment.

One of the quickest ways to know someone might not be self-aware is when they forwardly proclaim that they are “self-aware.” Most self-aware people can be observed more often than having to come out and say it.

Part of what made Sarah’s transition into full-time self-employment possible was that her old job allowed her to “wind down” and work part-time as she was working more on her business.

Sarah discovered her ADHD as many other founders do– when she was first starting her company, after all regular structure in her life via her job was taken away and she had to focus more on being disciplined.
