I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Sarah K Brandis. She's a friend of mine and I was inspired by her recent article on Medium to invite her onto the show. I've got some ambitious goals coming up with my running, and I want to be sure that I don't end up burned out from the training.
While this conversation is about running, the things we discuss can apply to all types of fitness and adventures: hiking, cycling, whatever. As you'll hear in this episode, they also apply to work, business, and life in general.
Sarah was a recent guest blogger on my website, and wrote a post called Solo Trail Running for Women: Staying Safe in the Outdoors. Check it out.
About Sarah
Sarah K Brandis is a mental health writer, enthusiastic amateur distance runner, 'elective orphan' and content marketer - although she is trying to shed that last role and simplify her life.
Having cut contact with her abusive parents at age 16, Sarah's life has been an adventure filled with learning things the hardest way possible. Her latest mission is to understand and break that habit of going the long way around, and to share that journey in her writing.
Find Sarah's books and more here or follow on Medium here.
You can also find her on Instagram.
