Correction note: I feel like I didn't make it clear I feel incredibly bad for Naomi's situation. It was the last story after a long record while still very sick. I was feeling so wrecked, and I didn't get across my opinion as well as I would have liked. Regardless of the "guilt trip", losing that money would be so horrible and I can empathize as a business girly with a team! I also said that customers didn't receive the boxes which was incorrect - they had! 🙏
