    31 Lessons in Life and Business (Birthday Episode!)

    This week is a very special episode because we are celebrating my BIRTHDAY!  I’m turning 31 this week on Nov. 17 and I thought a fun way to celebrate would be to look back on the past 31 years and think about the different lessons and takeaways I’ve had!  I do have to say I think about how I turned 21 TEN years ago, and while 21 feels like a milestone birthday, I think your 20s are just a wild time of growth and uncertainty. I’ve never felt more comfortable with myself or in my own skin than I have in my 30s. So I’d say I’ve enjoyed them a little more than in my 20s!  Read the Shownotes   Want to see where your brand and website stands?
