If you're here, hopefully you find something that resonates with you, interests you, or prompts you to change how you do things. Maybe it'll give you some ideas of ways that you can look after yourself even more as an ambitious introvert, empath, or highly sensitive entrepreneur.

As we finish up this year, I’m sharing an episode that you can listen to without being directly in your business. A few weeks ago, I asked my email list to submit any questions they had for me they’d love to hear answered on the podcast. So, this episode and the next one will be just that. Today’s episode will focus more on business related questions, we’re diving into everything from investments to how I protect my energy as an online business owner. There’s a bit of something here for everyone, enjoy!
