    Nov 26 2024

    In this very light episode, Dennis and Josh get to know Donna Taylor and Brittany Boo, hosts of the Talk Birdie to Me podcast, for a deep dive into the transformative power of community. Donna shares her story of growing up in a golfing family, burning out as a competitive player, and then deploying other passions – like yoga – to find a new approach to that helped her rediscover her love for the game in a totally different way. By utilizing this unique blend of yoga and golf, she has created a supportive space where women of all ages can learn, connect, and thrive. Brittany adds a fresh perspective as a newer member of this community, and between them they share relatable experiences about starting something new later in life and why creating or being involved in community is at the heart of so much positivity in everything they do.

    In the end, it’s a discussion about how reinvention and finding joy in community is a sure path to overcoming burnout, and it’s one we joyfully share, on this episode of the Back 9.
