Hidden In Plain Sight

Hidden in plain sight – just the way I like it! There are so many things that appeal to me about hammocking – from the comfort and ease of use to the infinite possibilities when it comes to tailoring one’s setup to be the perfect match. Overwhelmingly, though, the thing I love most is the […]

Episode #280: Do You Belong… And Is It Obvious?

This week: I’m talking about what it means to belong to your niche’s community.

This week: I’m talking about staying true to yourself. With an mindset based on comparing ourselves to others – and the pictures they create and share – it’s no wonder people lose track of how they can show up authentically.
