This week’s video is a little bit different…and I hope it’s so helpful to someone. If you’ve been following me for a bit, then you’ve likely seen me share about my journey with mental health at some point. I have struggled with anxiety for my entire life, and I know SO MANY entrepreneurs who struggle […]
