It's always a special Girlboss Radio episode when our host Avery gets to chat with a friend or idol of hers. In today's case, it's the latter. Avery got into watching HGTV during the grim days of the pandemic, and she fell in love with Leanne's white-on-white, lived-in aesthetic. She was so inspired, that she purchased and renovated a 200-year-old home. On today's episode, Leanne talks about her mid-career pivot into interior design after spending 15 years as a creative director and stylist. They discuss saying yes to everything until you get to say no, the upside of failure and get into some interior decor debates.
