This week I took some time to catch up with my friend, writing coach and fellow entrepreneur Tara MacIntosh. I love time with Tara. She is a writer and her mind is so darn super creative and on fire all the time. Her ideas are incredible and I can never get enough of our deep… Read more »
BYOB was a Smash Hit!
Last Wednesday I hosted an intimate and interactive BYOB evening at my studio with 9 women. Not BYOB in the way you’re thinking, I actually provided the vino.
