I’ve found over the years I seem to thrive on being busy, juggling lots of different stuff…so I spend a good bit of time on something (say...24 episodes of a podcast? Random example), then try to tackle something else, then come back to the original task, etc. So THANKS for hanging in there and waiting—I’ll share info soon about the other side project, it might help you once you’re in practice! TODAY is another Q&A episode from you AWESOME listeners…if you have questions, PLEASE hit me up! I love hearing from everyone from across the US and even a few abroad and would love to help you along your journey. Sit back, relax, and keep listening—I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your story!
