Back for her second visit to Bold Like Her, Sue Ellen shares information on diabetes during Nation Diabetes Awareness Month. We discuss healthy eating habits and signs to look for.

I was really surprised to hear that 1/2 the people who have diabetes don't even know it!

We also get into the protien craze, exactly how much we're supposed to have in our diets and great ways to get it!

Always a good time to get reminders on what a healthy plate actually looks like!

Holly shares that her journey began in 2007, when the inspiration for Dune Jewelry took shape at her kitchen table. She began capturing seaside memories in the form of unique, sand-filled jewelry designs that she made for family & friends. Inspiration became a passion, and her passion became a business.

The business is all about capturing cherished memories and encouraging wanderlust by personalizing demi-fine, experiential jewelry with sand & earth elements from thousands of locations around the world.

We chat all about Holly's life journey to bring this business to life as well as the many (she says upwards of 50) jobs she had leading up to this moment!

She's also a wife and mother of two, we chat about the team mentality of making it all run (both the business and the family!)

Liz is the owner of Strength & Grace Life Coaching, a certified life coach, a certified Positive Intelligence coach, and a certified Yoga instructor just to name a few of things she does.

But when we sat down it was talk about her other passion, writing. When she found herself searching for something of interest to read, she wrote it herself. That is how The Billie Mahoney Series was created.

When Liz sat down to start writing, it just poured out of her. So much so that her first book (self published may I add) came out in 2023. Three more have come out since and the 5th book is coming soon.

On this episode we talk about her background, the book series and she drops a couple nuggets for budding writers.
