TLS #53: juggling motherhood, hobbies, & NASA with sarah ruiz (saroy.net) - a podcast by Jess Lively

Today’s Lively Show was recorded in Austin and… NASA!

That is a sentence I never expected to type here on the blog.

… But how cool is that?!

I’m talking with a Lively Show listener, Sarah Ruiz, of Saroy.net.

I discovered Sarah because of a link back to The Lively Show from her blog. When I saw her site, I knew she was someone I had to get on the show!

Sarah is a:

Wife.

Mother.

Runner.

Quilter.

Blogger. 

And NASA aerospace engineer.

With the cross between her engineering and creative side, I wanted to pick her brain and learn how she makes time for all of her passions, career, and relationships.

This show is perfect for anyone who has a 9 to 5, has several hobbies and interests, or wants to make time for what is most important in their lives.

(Plus, anyone who wants to learn a little more about what it’s like to work at NASA!)
