NC Deep Dive

This week, we’ll hear from one of my very favorite people: Wendy Parker. You’ll know her from her adorable shop called Gifted Boutique & Wrappery that closed recently. Wendy was so generous with me, with her time and her honesty and candor about what prompted her to close her shop and pivot to what she’s doing now. Spoiler alert: don’t feel bad for Wendy. I know I did when I first heard about her plans for closing. But she’s up to something cool and new and 100% her own and I can’t wait for you to hear about it!
