For our 27th episode, I had the pleasure to sit down with Sarah Ezrin. Sarah is a friend and a colleague now, even a brand ambassador for Athleta with me but we met when she was my one teacher trainer in my 300h. I’ve always loved her classes, her playfulness, and her sense of community. I recently discovered another side to her: her incredible talent for writing. Today we’re sitting together to talk about how writing can be healing when we go through hardship.
