I am so excited to finally present my new podcast, Now…That’s a WORD! The podcast will be primarily woman-centered and focuses on some of life’s most universal experiences from our perspective in a stripped down, real and authentic way. I created Now…That’s a WORD because I find myself having these amazing conversations with my friends, online, and sometimes even with myself, and I want to share those conversations on a bigger platform in the hopes that they will resonate and benefit others.
