Is your time as aligned as your spending?

Katy Joy Davis, owner of Tierra Sana Blankets, is on the show today and we talked about so many amazing things that every entrepreneur (even me) needs to hear. She shares how her business was born out of her love for refugees and the highs and lows along the way. But most importantly, we highlight the importance of slowing down and creating margin in your life. She has taught me that creating space for yourself will help you and your business thrive. If you’re feeling run down, this episode is for you.
