It’s been a while since we’ve spoke, so this life update is here to share what I’ve been up to, how I’ve been feeling and where we go from here.
It All Comes Down To This
What does it mean to be powerful as a woman? Lou Ramsay discusses the emotional and the acceptable power in a brilliant essay to open 2018. It comes from the small and it comes from the everyday, but mostly, it comes when it’s the beginning of the year and I’m starting to feel reborn. I […]
