I can't even explain how excited I am to be a guest on the Being Boss podcast!

In Being Boss episode #117, I dish about being a maker, running a side business, the importance of knowing what you want, and the myth of balance. Tune in here or download the episode on iTunes.

Dear beautiful soul,

Many of us are still hurting today. I admit, I am still a little frightened by the unexpected turn in American politics. I spent the last few days slowing down, grieving, and thinking both inward and outward about how this presidency will affect me, my loved ones, my country, and those on the fringes.

On Wednesday, November 23rd (the night before Thanksgiving), I'll be hanging out at VASU Tribe in Hartford for yoga, meditation, and self-care with my natural + vegan skincare line.
