I met Lena in 2014 at a hell hole of a corporation (though, at the time, I likely didn’t perceive it as such). I emphasize “perceive” because, well, you’ll see. Lena has one of those souls that any self-respecting soul wants to be near. Her […]
Kasey Herrin and I met in July 2019. I had just left one toxic job for what would end up being another toxic job but hey, there is such a thing as the lesser of two evils. Thankfully, with that lesser of evil corporate role, […]
Rachel Dalton and I began chatting in 2022 as a precursor to my being a guest on her delightful podcast: Wine, Dine, & 69. We quickly learned we had much in common and continued our friendship beyond the 56th episode titled: “Swipe Write” with Lindsay, […]
