She had an instructor that once said if his students weren\u2019t fully invested in theatre, they should leave. Sarah truly loved theatre but knew she didn\u2019t really want to be an actress later in life, so it got her thinking about what she did want to do.\n\nPart of the new normal might not have as much to do with masks and social distancing as it will have to do with trauma and divisiveness. After such a polarizing time where politics were on display in the workplace, there needs to be a readjustment.\n\nOne of the quickest ways to know someone might not be self-aware is when they forwardly proclaim that they are \u201cself-aware.\u201d Most self-aware people can be observed more often than having to come out and say it.\n\nPart of what made Sarah\u2019s transition into full-time self-employment possible was that her old job allowed her to \u201cwind down\u201d and work part-time as she was working more on her business.\n\nSarah discovered her ADHD as many other founders do\u2013 when she was first starting her company, after all regular structure in her life via her job was taken away and she had to focus more on being disciplined.\n\nFor more on Sarah, please visit: www.sarahnollwilson.com\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\n\n#thePOZcast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
