A conversation is defined as a talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged.

Conversations have been on my mind recently because they are truly a tool in helping me move through my process. And I’ve been thinking about it a lot as I reflect on my break from my email newsletter, podcast, and mentoring — because I truly believe my time away could have gone in such a different direction if it weren’t for conversations.
