Today’s episode is one that you all asked for so I am making it happen. My guest today has a pretty incredible story of how she overcame some seriously extreme obstacles with her health, being a single mom, and never having been a business owner before. She punched any fear that she rightfully had in the face and now runs a full time professional organizing business, doing what she loves every day, connecting with her community, and spending time with her son on her terms. If you’re in a similar situation or facing other fear factors when it comes to starting a professional organizing business, this episode of The Speak Organized Podcast is a MUST watch!Ā
