019: Career tips from running the NYC marathon

Sometimes we can get overwhelmed trying to make our careers into what we want them to be over night.

Breathe and remember that your career is a marathon, a journey, and that takes time!

This week’s episode was recorded during a long car ride, that helped inspire this episode’s message.

During this episode, Sarah recounts her experiences with marathon running, injuries, and the struggles of accomplishing long term goals. She explains how community helps you get where you need to be without the stresses that come with doing it alone.
