This experience led to her being offered an internship in the marketing and events department of the law firm, where she worked for ten years and was involved in various events, including international programs and fundraising for animal welfare. Linda's introduction to entrepreneurship came when she collaborated with Adam Ramansky on a few events.

About Creating Abundance

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to “Creating Abundance”! I’m Alana Cahoon, your host, and I’ve dedicated a significant portion of my life to personal and professional growth, creativity, spirituality, and holistic well-being. In my mid-twenties, I found myself alone in the bustling city of NYC but was determined to make it on my own. Throughout those challenging years, I persevered, acquiring leadership skills and honing my abilities as a mystic intuitive. Inspirational figures like Louise Hayes and Shakti Gwain became my role models, driving me to share the tools that lifted me up and guided me forward with you.
