Send us a text Today we kick off 10 days of quotes and commentary. Our first quote is: "Just because something is popular doesn’t mean you have to buy it. Life isn’t about doing what everyone else is doing. It’s about doing your own thing. Anything that doesn’t align with who you are isn’t worth doing. Do what feels right for you. You have a little voice in your heart that tells you what the right thing is. Don’t ignore it. Follow it even if that means doing something unusual, something that no ...

But Jen didn’t get to this spot overnight, she was a teacher and photographer, an author, and now podcast host! She shared her journey with me and along the way gave such good insight on how to find purpose and clarity. I hope you enjoy this girl talk ses...

A conversation about race, specifically. As a white woman, I knew I needed to take a step back to listen and learn. April was kind enough to spend time talking with...

You may make a mistake or miss a goal, but you can take the steps to learn from it and come out on the other side wiser and stronger than ever. Henry Ford said, “The only real mi...
