142 | An Unexpected Twist on My Business Journey
As part of a big transition taking place in my business, the other week I did something unexpected– and unprecedented– that came with some vulnerability. Today I invited my Marketing Director (with whom I’m partnering during this shift), Helen Hunter Mackenzie, to join me to talk about what went on behind the scenes of this decision. Together, we’re having an open, honest conversation about the process we went through after pulling one of my programs from the market two days after launching it (and how this then allowed for something even better to come through). This is for you if you need support with navigating a transition, dealing with the chaos of the creative process, or coming into deeper alignment in your work and your life.

135 | Women Without Kids with Ruby Warrington
I’ve been looking forward to sharing this conversation with you– because there are so few converstaions about or among women without kids.Today, I’m speaking with Ruby Warrington, the author of the new book, Women Without Kids, as well as the author and creator of Sober Curious. With both of these creations, she’s also known as an astute cultural commentator and true thought leader.

Since more and more women are not having children for a multitude of reasons– and there will be more of us aging and maturing on the planet in future years, it’s time we bring more awareness to what Ruby calls the “rise of the unsung sisterhood.”Whether you’re a woman with or without kids, please have a listen. This is important! And share it with others too.Enjoy!
