Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
My mom has the best wisdom for this. She says "build everything out of bricks" (yep, a three little pigs reference) My younger self did things too quickly, I would encourage her to slow down and focus on the details.

How to balance personal creative projects with work!

Ethical, plant-based, women-led, wellness, fashion, etc. brands that have a dazzling future.
