I am anti-gatekeeping and anti-scarcity, so I’m happy to share more info about any of the above or how I accomplished them!
Book a 15 minute collab call to ask me your question. I will not try to “sell you anything” unless you want to hear about my paid consulting work.
Have a wonderful start to 2026!
