The Sarah Berry Show

Join me as I interview my special friend and very talented author, Jen Atkinson, as we cozy up inside a favorite local bookstore – Sidekicks Book Bar - to discuss her brand new book release, "Love, In Theory."

Having the opportunity to interact with Jen is like salve for the soul, and I know for certain you will love our conversation that ranges from the many nuances of modern motherhood, how she became and author, and the ups/downs of running/marketing a business or passion project.

You’ll love Jen’s simple, beautiful approach to working through the “not-so-easy” days of the creative process, all the way through to launching a “book baby!” 

She’s an inspiration to anyone aspiring to get their words out in to the world, and I know you’ll love listing to this latest episode as much as I enjoyed getting to sit down with the lovely Jen Atkinson to record it!! 

Be sure to listen all the way to the end to get in on Jen’s FUN book giveaway, as well as a special promo I’m doing to celebrate her latest book launch!!  Finally, don’t forget to click the links below to get your hands on her latest book!!  Please join us!

Well, friends, we are well into the New Year - can anyone else believe it's already February?! 

This seems like a good time to check in on those goals, New Year's resolutions, etc., so today on the podcast, I am joined by my good friend and Wholistic Wellness Coach, Millie Barra, as we walk through the ups, downs, “ins,” and outs,” of what we can do when things maybe aren't going as fast, smooth, or positive as we had hoped. 

Millie gives us some valuable insight on how to not only learn how to recognize when you're having some not-so-good feelings about the way things are going, but gives us some practical advise on how to "embrace the pause" in the process. 

It’s always great to have Millie on the Show, and I hope you find some wisdom in her message today! 

Are you ready?! Let’s GO!!!
