Exciting news! I’m in a new book! 
 
In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, I thought I’d share my chapter in the new book Hot Mess to Hot Mom by Tara De Leon. My chapter is called “Marriage, Baby, and Business, Oh My: Navigating a good opportunity with seemingly bad timing.”
 
Tune in to this episode to hear the chaotic story behind how I found myself as a new mom and new business owner at the same time. This is a story about how wrong timing can turn out to be perfect timing if you stick to your values and follow your dreams. 
 
Topics covered in this episode include:
 
When to say yes to unexpected opportunities 
How I learned the hard way that we don’t always control the timing of our lives
A tool to use when you’re at the crossroads of a good opportunity and bad timing 
 
If you’re at a crossroads in your life, I think this episode could be just what you need to hear. I hope you love it!
