    The moment I showed up to my pop up shop and there was A LINE down the sidewalk of customers waiting? That was pure bliss.

Let me tell you about everything that happened beforehand behind the scenes to make that a possibility.

    The critical importance of rest in building success.

    I've learned in my personal life, business life, and even in my professional & academic life that you HAVE to give yourself time to rest and recover, and when you run yourself into the ground and put in more hours, it actually turns out worse results than if you give yourself time off to rest, recover, and regroup. The name of the game is self-care and running your business from a place of sanity instead of desperation.
