A tribute to my first money mentor, Tamara Slayton.

In August of 2001… I moved from Colorado to California, and arrived in a little town called Sebastopol. I was post-graduate school (in Somatic Psychology), standing at a huge professional crossroads.

Soft open, soft close. Why I broke all the “rules”.

I had to do it differently this time. 2013 brought a clear call to approach my business in a whole new way. And: it worked.  Last year, it felt like my household was constantly in “launch mode“.
