Embrace Your Monster: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Dr. AJ Lauer

Sashelle Synch Up—Reflections on the Year and News for the Next

One hundred and fifty one episodes!!!  When we launched this podcast in early 2022, our commitment was to add value to your life by sharing ideas and experiences of our own, as well as exposing you to many incredible voices with insights to impart. I really had no idea how it would unfold, and now, nearly four years and 113 guests later, I am proud to say mission accomplished. Scrolling though the episodes, reliving moments of each conversation, reinforces for me how important it is for people to tell their stories. I hope you have found information and inspiration to help you on your journey to be a better being.   As this year comes to a close, it is also time to bring the Be a Better Being Podcast to a close. Please join for our final episode and if you are inclined, start back at the beginning to see if you hear things you didn’t the first time around. I will be doing this and look forward to learning with my listening ears fully tuned in!
