The Twelfth House

Welcome to our Creator Communities series. Throughout the next few episodes, we’ll be speaking to several creators about how they do the damn thing. When is it time to go all in? When is it time to rest? Retire? How do you know if you’re on the right track? Is balance achievable while launching your business and working full-time? How many friends do you have? Money do you make?These are just a sample of the intimate questions we’ll be diving into while we speak to our guests over the next few episodes. This episode features a lovely discussion with Michelle and Les Alfred from the Balanced Black Girl. Les is the founder and host of Balanced Black Girl, an online wellness community and podcast focused on wellness, healthy habits, spacious productivity, personal finance, and self-care from the perspectives of Black women.Follow along with Les and the Balanced Black Girl community: Les’s Instagram The Balanced Black Girl Podcast (IG) Balanced Black Girl Facebook page Balanced Black Girl on Twitter The Balanced Black Girl Listen to the Balanced Black Girl podcast hereFree!
