A reminder to myself: healing from trauma is not linear. Next week I have to have surgery to remove a lump from my breast. The lump is benign (not cancer), I’ve already had a biopsy done to confirm that, but the specialists say it’s best to remove it as it’s of considerable size (28mm) and could hide

I’m excited (and a bit nervous!) to let you know that I was recently interviewed by the amazing Dr Rebecca Ray for her podcast! I got super vulnerable as Beck coached me through one of my blocks related to a change in direction for my business. For years, my business has been made up of
