Memorable Quotes: 

• “I’m big on the idea of giving more than what I’m asking for in return.”
• “I want my ideal client that’s watching me on social media to feel like she’s connected to me and to feel that she’s getting something of value and that I’m not just selling to her all the time.”  
• “I’ve noticed that the more I post to Stories, the more people are following me, the more people are interacting with my feed content, and the more people are viewing my Stories, so it’s just that consistency that’s really helpful.”
