I’m in recovery from pathological people-pleasing, supermom syndrome, and a dash of PTSD just to keep things interesting....We’re holding nothing back on this podcast- we’re talking business and marketing, motherhood and marriage, health and healing, building wealth, and breaking cycles.I’d be honoured to have you along for this ride- so if you’re ready, hit subscribe and join us every single week for helpful breakdowns, behind-the-scenes stories, and honest conversations.
