In this short episode, I share the story and intent of the Rise Rooted podcast. 

 I've spent the past 7 years working with mothers. In that time, I've seen a few commonalities. The first: for many women, motherhood is a spark to step into a bigger purpose in life. The second: it's also a job that requires so much of women that they are often left without time or energy to pursue that purpose. 

 And it is from understanding these two conflicting forces that I created the Rise Rooted Podcast (The name was inspired by the book If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie). 

I share why I feel inspired to do this podcast and what topics we will cover.
