Good ain't good enough for you...and thats okay.

Good is the enemy of great.

Happy Wednesday! Today I talk to Tessa Perlow, the extremely talented hand embroidery artist which is particularly exciting because there is not enough info out there out this amazing woman. We get to have a wonderful discussion about marrying your personal convictions with your passion to create to develop the career you love. We also talk about some alternative reason to keep your day job, that really opened up my eyes and I hope it will yours too. This episode is full of living proof that you can build a life exactly how you want it and to not be afraid to learn as you go. She's fab and you're gonna love Tessa as much as I did after this chat!
