Almost exactly a year ago, Kate formally came to work full-time at Urban Herbs, growing, selling and promoting herb plants as a full-time job.  She left behind a full-time job in event management and so this shift represented a dramatic change.

One year later Kate answers the questions that you have sent in to ask her about her dramatic career change. 

This turned into a really honest chat about the rollercoaster year that we have had and we hope that it represents a hopeful message to many of you out there who are considering similar changes.
