 In the music sphere, she's the founder of 525 Entertainment Group, an artist management & consulting firm and home to Everyday Rebellion Records. She also proudly serves on the Board of Directors for Women In Music. After the tragic stillbirth of her daughter, Olivia, and realizing how little information she had pre- and post-delivery, she created Mommy Interrupted. The maternal advocacy group seeks to get useful information women and their families need when they need it.

While walkin' & talkin', Sarah and I stumbled on the topic of how she's survived and turned around an entrepreneurial funk in the past. She generously dropped by Le vital corps Salon to talk about that, how rivalry and competition can be leveraged for personal development and how we as women don't have to fix absolutely everything. And there's more, but you'll have to tune in! Selected link love and resources from the episodeElement AthleticsConnect with Sarah on social media: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedInTripping the Prom Queen: The Truth About Women and Rivalry by Susan Shapiro BarashThe Mental Cost of Owning a BusinessThe Psychological Price of EntrepreneurshipCloser by The Chainsmokers on the Songs to Energize playlist(On heavy team rotation)I'll Scream Later by Marlee MatlinMichael Porter and his five forces of competitionGoogle DriveKickass Theme Music: “Things Are Getting Better” Written by Rishi Dhir.

By connecting artists, fans, and organizations, PLUS1 amplifies the collective impact and shows how small actions can lead to change - namely consistent, sustainable and substantive change. If Marika looks familiar to you, you may recognize her as the Viola-wielding touring member of Grammy award-winning band Arcade Fire. For nine years, Marika played her heart out while simultaneously directing and managing the band’s philanthropy and community outreach. During our conversation, Marika will share how she and her fellow band members experienced the incredible energy of thousands of people coming together as well as how they chose to harness and channel it for social good. Captured by the potential of PLUS1 and guided by her musical colleagues and mentor Dr. Paul Farmer, a founder of Partners in Health, Marika dedicated herself to building an independent organization. PLUS1 was founded in 2013. From a small office in Montréal, she and her team empower other artists to partner with their fans to drive awareness

Robin Rodig came into my life around the 10th anniversary of losing our common friend, Pat "Noodle" Newell to cancer. After an hour of the two of us supremely inquisitive ladies tossing questions back and forth, Robin volunteered her beautiful beach house to the charity auction I was pulling together. Her radiant warmth, kindness and humor caught my attention and what she's been up to maintained it.  Since we first connected, Robin's been jetsetting around the globe. When Robin Goes To a new destination, she snaps gorgeous photos, shares the stories on her blog (and HuffPo!), and collects traditional fabrics for future art projects. Sure, she must be some free-spirited Californian hippie, right? Au contraire. She's a self-described, perfect attendance awarding-winning rule-follower who worked for the same company for 16 years. So, how on Planet Earth, did Robin make that leap? Hint: It was with the click of a button, but you'll have to tune in to learn more. Selected link love and resources from the episodeCo

She's also a philanthropist, a reluctant marathoner, and a dear friend. If pressed to describe her in a single phrase, I'd run some June & Johnny Cash lyrics through a Massachusetts accent generator and say she's hottah than a peppah sprout. Maybe it's because she usually has one or more hot sauces in her purse at any given time. Maybe it's her much-loved #SpiceMeSal hashtag. Or it's the radiant warmth and strength she brings to every conversation she has, including this podcast. We zig and we zag covering all sorts of topics like radical career shifts, negotiation for women, the benefits of improv, ninja networking skills, first time author advice, and more.
