*Women's History Month Special* This week, I'm bringing my own mother to the show to talk about her journey balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship. 

Lynn Thornton (who we will now refer to as "Mom") is a seamstress and former owner of a small beachside bookstore, where she built a successful business, adapting her brick-and-mortar business to the increasingly digital world as e-commerce platforms such as Amazon shifted our buying habits from storefront to website. 

In this episode, we talk about the challenges of running a business AND mothering, the lessons and impact her example made on how I run my business, and how to navigate running a business with your spouse.

This week, franchise owner turned inner calm coach Amanda O'Rourke shares both her lovely British accent and her story of the tumultuous career shifts that helped her gain an invaluable perspective on loss.

Amanda started off as an insurance claims specialist before diving into the world of franchises.

After developing chronic anxiety and hitting burnout, she knew she had to make radical changes to her lifestyle.

Today, she serves high achieving women in business as an Inner Calm Coach, specializing in mindset, stress management, overwhelm, resiliency, and of course, happiness.

This week, stress and anxiety coach Shannon South shares why our brains are so darn good at keeping us safe... and how we can use this evolutionary gift to our advantage in the most stressful of situations.

Shannon's background in drug addiction, chemistry, and neurological diseases makes her the PERFECT person to discuss stress reduction and management. As an Amazon Best Seller known for her book The Young and Beautiful Woman, Shannon combines her no-fluff scientific background with the compassion and creative genius of a woman wise beyond her years.

She serves her audience with her amazing digital course (that I have personally taken and benefited from), the Cut Stress Course, and is committed to helping women cut stress and overwhelm out of their lives to find peace within. 

Shannon lives in Michigan and you can find her on Facebook using the handle @ShannonSouth.

This week, former Coast Guard officer turned gardener and vlogger Quincey Adams shares why she left her job to pursue something radically different than anything she'd been tasked with before: focusing on her health by gardening.

Quincey's first role was as a shipboard engineer and was stationed, much like myself, in California and Hawaii, protecting and managing waterways and inspecting freight vessels before departing the Coast Guard for the civilian world. After bouncing around a few jobs, most notably helping over 100 veterans file disability claims and get their service-earned benefits, she started to notice health problems that ultimately had her leaving the work force.

Using the power of homegrown food to manage her own health, Quincey has expanded her love of gardening into a full-blown lifestyle and teaches live gardening classes on Facebook. You can find Quincey on her website at www.liliesandtomatoes.com or her Facebook and Instagram using the handle @liliesandtomatoes.
