If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering what role work should play in your life, this book is for you. *Good Work* is full of insights on building a career that aligns with your values and energy. We both love it, it’s changed how we think about our own paths, and we can’t recommend it enough 😊
Hey World 👋
In this episode, we explore what it really takes to find your footing as a small creator … figuring out when to give your work away, how to start charging for your skills, and what it really looks like to build something small but meaningful. Along the way, we talk family, side hustles, and the kind of “good work” that keeps pulling us back.
