I know. I’m just as shocked as you are that I’m speaking to THE MaryJo Anderson on today’s episode. But also, this has been a long time coming. MaryJo and I “met” on Instagram through Landyn Hutchinson (Living with Landyn), everyone’s favorite influencer and MJ quickly became one of my favorite people. She shares the beautiful view from her deck most mornings, perhaps a stroll through “The Beloved Garden”, or a video of one of her kids swinging in their living room. Yes, she has a swing in her living room. While all the beautiful moments she shares are quite lovely, the best things about her are what’s on the inside. Mary Jo is a dedicated volunteer and philanthropist in her community and also organizes many events with the hope of creating connection and inspiring women to show up in love every chance they get. We had so much to cover so this is part 1 of a 2-part conversation. I’m so, so grateful to have women like MaryJo in my life and if for some reason you don’t know her yet, you’re about to meet your next favorite person as well. And don’t forget to come back next week for Part 2 where we talk more about friendship, social media, and connection! Enjoy!
