Episode 120: Following Your True Calling with Emily Carpenter
Hello Define YOU Crew! I am so excited YOU are here! Welcome to the Define YOUniversity Podcast!
In this week’s episode, Emily Carpenter is joining us on the podcast! I was recently introduced to Emily via social media, as we are both local to the Rochester, NY area! I immediately fell in love with her business and knew I wanted to bring her on the show!
Emily is the founder of SAGE Rochester which stands for Support, Advocate, Grow and Educate. On her website https://www.sagerochester.com/ her mission reads: Our mission is to support families and individuals with different abilities across multiple environments, cultivate independence, and foster growth.
When asked, “Why SAGE Rochester?” Emily shares: "As a special education teacher, I commonly see the disconnect between a student’s routine and independence at school and their routine and independence at home. Often, a child is more independent at school. Schools provide supports and/or strategies such as visual schedules, visuals, timers, etc., to foster independence in the classroom. When the strategies and supports used in schools are available for the home, a child is able to cultivate more independence, growth, and success.”

Founder, SAGE Rochester
As Emily shares in the episode, she was a special education teacher who turned her passion of helping students learn social skills into her career. She has built SAGE into an amazing company today and I know it will continue to grow each year!
Her message is simple, yet profound! If you have an idea on your heart…go after it! I love that so much!
I hope YOU love this episode, as I know I was inspired by Emily’s energy and passion for the field!
Enjoy!
