Episode 134

Today my guest is Mary Sue and we have an amazing conversation about what to do when you feel you are made for more.

Mary is a former award-winning retailer, display artist and branding junkie who recently took a leap of faith and closed her boutique of nearly a decade to focus on helping creative, dog-loving women find more balance in their lives.

Her mission in life is to create a space for women to feel seen, heard, have tons of fun and fully be themselves- freak flags encouraged!

She lives on a farm with her husband Danny, rescue soul-pup Finley and two rescue bunnies Bon Bon and Tater Tot.
