In today’s episode I celebrate the listeners who continue to show up and listen to the show, thank you. As well as share a family update as we wrap up our school year and transition into summer. There are also a few fun business opportunities that I share. Thanks for listening to the update as I'm navigating where I want to go and what I want to do.
