In this week’s episode, I sit down with Vilona Michael - marketing strategist, connector, and founder of V.Marketing. What unfolded was one of those life-giving conversations that felt both intentional and organic in the most beautiful way.
We dive into the power of friendship, the slow and steady work of building a business, and the very real tension of mom-guilt. Vilona shares honestly about making time for connection, self-care, and the relationships that sustain us; reminding us that growth (in business and life) takes time, intention, and community.
I left this conversation feeling like I could do anything, and it all starts with simply putting yourself out there. I think you’ll leave feeling the same.
