May We Be Them

Amy take two! I had the pleasure of interviewing Amy Reiss today! Amy is a former teacher, freelance writer, and now the Associate Director of Marketing and Communications for Cannon School in Concord, NC. Through her writing, she finds power in the ability to be a truth-teller in a way that is both compelling and enviable. Her humor is infectious, her candor is a breath of fresh air, and her approach to being authentically herself is one you'll want to take notes on. Married and raising two teenage daughters, she is living life in parallel with so many of us in this same stage of life. Throw you ear buds in, hop on your treadmill or bundle up for an outdoor walk or run, and enjoy the hour!

Here's to strong women! May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. I got to spend some time talking to one of my favorite people today, Amy Mierzwa. She is the founder and owner of Performance Solutions Physical Therapy and you can find her on Facebook (@Performance Solutions Physical Therapy) and Instagram (@performancesolutionspt). Side note: she puts some awesome videos on her social media pages that give you an inside look at the magic she works for her clients! Today we talked about what makes Amy, well...Amy. We talked about her childhood, her pathway through college, and we dove into how and why she got her business started. She shared with me the things that motivate and inspire her in life, and she dropped lots of little nuggets of wisdom, in her usual low-key way, that I bet you'll find just as awesome as I did!

When your 19-year old says to you, "Hey mom! We should record another podcast episode before I head back to school next week!" you do NOT turn that down. So, I present to you, Anna DuMond Part 2. It was so fun. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi! It’s me. Sara DuMond. I’m a mom, wife, pediatrician, runner, and now....Surprise! I started a podcast! Yep, I wasn't busy enough and thought I needed one more thing to do! ;) Truthfully, this has been on my bucket list for awhile. I am a podcast JUNKIE. I am addicted to listening to podcasts. So I thought I'd get in on the action myself. Today I share a little bit about my "why" behind starting the podcast, I introduce a little bit about myself (in the unlikely event that someone listens to it that isn't related to me or isn't already a friend of mine), I share a little introductory story from my past, and I give you a feel for what you can expect out of this little podcast. I hope you'll give it a listen! And if you like what you hear, maybe you'll even subscribe to it, so that you can listen to future episodes! Spoiler: You'll get to hear the name of my very first guest I'll be interviewing coming up on the first "official" episode!
