    EP07: Dismantling The Entire Concept with Jes Hrivnak

    Welcome Jes to the Butterfly Effect! Jes Hrivnak is one of the Top Real Estate agents in the triangle, and also my psuedo-therapist when she visits me at the store before yoga. I'm so fortunate to have her insight, always being real and raw and like-minded. We discuss the meaning of the butterfly effect and how we can't just hold on to a few notable moments in life that catapult us to where we are today but recognize that every moment lived, every wrong turn down a street, every interaction is a little flutter to the next one. You can find Jes on instagram:@jeshriv and tell her your girl Anna sent you!
