029 | Unlocking Confidence, Self-Acceptance, and Possibility with Meg Marie Jan 13, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of The Coffee & Convos Podcast, we chat with Meg Marie, a branding photographer based in San Diego who inspires confidence, self-acceptance, and possibility within her clients. We chat about how she's taken up multiple occupations, traveled the world to teach, and had finally landed into being a photographer. Because it's the new year, we talk about intentionality with your goals, saying yes to opportunities that will help you grow, and taking it one step at a time.

As the first interview of the year, it was incredibly fitting to chat with an inspiring and motivating self-made business owner who has built her business by diving in heart first. We loved this conversation and it's another reminder that we don't have to have it all figured out, but instead follow our intuition to lead us to where we should be next.
