WHOA That's Good Podcast

Sadie welcomes newlywed, mental health advocate, and entrepreneur Tay Dome Lautner.

Sadie and Tay both share the moments they realized they were in a bad place and needed help and how to summon courage to ASK for help. Tay encourages us to celebrate small victories in BIG ways, and Sadie challenges us to choose to find joy in whatever situation you're in and, when possible, make bad things good!  Learn more about your ad choices.
