My first official repeat guest, Katrina Sellers fo Jules and Vetiver, joins me in this "semi-live" format where we bust open the myth of the "girl boss community."

Well hey there! Welcome to this episode of the Biz Balance Podcast! I’m your host Karen Greenoe and today I’ll be sharing a surprising little fact about my business. And that is that I have turned down every single request for one on one coaching in the past six months. But it's not for the reason that you think. It’s not fear of not knowing the answers.
