This episode is a special one for me - I'm sharing my recent conversation with Sara Tasker on her podcast, Entre Nous, all about setting up your business from the heart, and building communities online. If you'd said to me when I first did Sara's Instagram course many years ago that one day I'd be on her show, I wouldn't have believed you!
