“Say Yes Before You Know How”
–Christy Write

Show Notes

Welcome to episode no. 70! I read something this morning that Christy Write posted on her Instagram today – “Say yes before you know how.” And it kind of falls in line with today’s show. Typically, business shows and podcasters will interview business owners who have already arrived and then ask them how they got there. Today’s episode explores beginnings – what’s involved in the pursuit and the guts it takes to step out and do something new.

Please welcome this week’s guest, Vanessa Shields, as she boldly shares about her life as a writer and her goals as a new business owner. This episode goes well beyond business; it visits resilience, loss, the meaning of work, and so much more!
