The Books That Shaped Me Featuring Diana Sawyers

Diana Sawyers has spent almost 30 years leading enterprise transformation for the State of Texas. She's also a saxophone player, a guitar student who's played Stubb's and Antone's, a political junkie, and a mom launching two sons into the world. In this episode we talk about all of it, and the books that helped her hold it together along the way.Diana shares the moment she froze on stage with sticky notes taped to her guitar (and found out later Bob Dylan did the same thing). We talk about teaching inside a maximum security juvenile facility, why she believes music is one of the last truly human things we have left, and what it means to finally be comfortable in your own skin.Books mentioned in this episode:What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond CarverThe Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think by Brianna WiestThe Anxious Generation by Jonathan HaidtIf this conversation resonates, that's kind of the point. The books that shape us usually show up right when we need them. If you're in a season where you're asking what your own next chapter looks like, I'd love to talk with you.
