Caroline and I connected about a year and a half ago after noticing that she Instagrammed a VERY beautiful picture of my book, Girl Code. Turns out she was hosting a book club at Kate Spade in her hometown of Richmond, Virginia and Girl Code was her first pick. We connected immediately and after a nearly 2 hour phone call I KNEW that this girl was one of us. She is brilliant, beautiful, and bubbly. In this episode we talk a lot about personal branding, self-belief, burnout and the life of a lady boss. We'll dive into some of the biggest mistakes Caroline made in the beginning of her career and how she bounced back. If you're a female entrepreneur I think you're really gonna love this one!
