In episode 1 of season 2 we cover all the basics: books, crafts, and what vegetable you want to take into battle. Alexa and I dive deep into why saying yes to fun things is the best way to keep yourself from being consumed by your business. While it’s easy to let it become your personality, we didn’t start a business to keep us from life. Listen in to hear tips on how to enjoy life more, what crafts to start, and how to keep boundaries at work.
