Welcome to The next good thing by me, Dr. Sarah Marie Martin. I’m a lot of things—an academic, policy wonk, a health tech VP, a former government official, a mom of teenagers, a Christian, an aspiring distance runner, sometimes dancer, spoiler of a dog, lover of Bourbon.
The more I hang out with professional folks all over the country, the more I realize that there are a lot of multi-faceted people desperately looking for inspiration. Some find it with their fitness instructor mantras, some at church, some from a random quote misattributed to Marilyn Monroe via a tacky Instagram post. Many of us are building businesses, brands, and babies while also side eye-ing every “curated imperfection” mommy-blogger.
Every week, I’ll send out the five things that inspired me. Some will be work-related, some will be love-related, and some will be things that just made me laugh my way out of my anxiety.
Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.
In the meantime, tell your friends!
