"I could not believe it when I received the call to be the “expert” on Great Day Houston. I wanted to do it because I am passionate about the topic – helping moms with ways they can have it all – a career and a family! But then I realized it was going to be on TV!! I had never been on TV before, yet everything I had done in my life prepared me for this moment – I went for it and did not turn back! Oh, and I called in the expert – Sarah Shah. She helped me make sure that all I had to focus on was the topic and she would take care of everything else – and she did!! Thanks Sarah!!" - Kathi Crawford, SPHR, People Possibilities
