You Need a Coach B*tch
How to pivot and create a multi-passionate life with Bryn Cohn
Show Notes

In this episode, I sit down for a chat with my friend Bryn Cohn (she/Her). We talk career transitions, and the evolution of identity that comes with that. We look at this through the lens of her pursuing creative direction as an expansion of her artistic universe. And we also explore what it means to create sustainability practices both in dance and in this shifting landscape of social media and it’s power in advertising and our lives in general. Join us for this wide-ranging and salient discussion.
