Hey Daughters! 🫧 I wanted to do a solo episode just between me and the daughters to reintroduce myself a little bit. My childhood was very unique and honestly it’s what makes me, me! So here is an exclusive sneak peek of the memoir just for the daughters. From being the captain of my middle school robotics team to growing up on a military base; I really get into it. I also give some advice for changing career paths once you’re already deep into one and on how to support yourself as a working artist! Love u daughters!
