Return To Authenticity
Join the Return to Authenticity podcast where host Eric Sardina interviews guests who have made awesome and inspiring pivots in their lives toward their authentic selves, toward their values and purpose in life and toward lives filled with meaning and fulfillment. Our guests often felt out-of-sync, empty, or just plain stuck at some point in their lives before making the return to authenticity shift that made all the difference. Join us weekly to hear these stories and be inspired to explore your own alignment with your authentic self and the life you were born to live.
