    I'm so excited to share this extra long, extra fun, extra REAL episode with Bergen Baker! I love how Bergen took an "unconventional" path to get to where she is today. One of my favorite things about this podcast is talking to people who remind me that not all successful paths are linear. For the first portion of the episode, Bergen and I talk all about how she got to where she is in her career. She took her education by the reins and carved out a space for herself. In the second portion (YES! there is a second portion), we get real. We dive deeper into the corona-coaster and what we're fed up with (hint: it's probably what you're fed up with too).
