VLOG VERSION



After a brief hiatus, I’m back (FINALLY!!), and still committed to this badass creative journey I’m on. TONS of busy work happening this month as I’m desperately taming the psycho lion that is grad school and the personal challenges that come along with it. I’m nearly at the finish line of this semester’s mad dash, so bear with me. 🙂 In the meantime, though, I’ve brought you guys more giveaways, more courses to expand your skills and business acumen, and more insights that I’ve gained from my journeys and adventures this month. Check it all out!
