Today is a special treat and a good one as I am joined by Natalie Mcmillan (@nataliemcm), an artist, creator, and one of the hosts of Am I Doing This Right (@amidoingthisrightpod).
We are chatting about Natalie’s journey of leaning more into her passions and turning it into a profitable business as well as how she and her friend, Corinne, started the podcast.

Everyone is faking it
Ways of how to spot a bullsh*tter
