Thank you!

Hi Audrey, thank you everything for you for what you do. I’ve been listening on and off for the past four years and recently jumped back into binging all tour latest episodes and episode 118 has really been one of my favorites. It’s so actionable and I’ve already started some market research. I’m really excited to find out what the heck a period headshot looks like and am so excited for how this will be a game changer for me. thank you thank you for everything you do. I appreciate you and I hope your mom answers something more than “very good” to this review. :)
