I’m so excited to introduce you to the lady of the day….Mrs. Jebeh Edmunds!

I’ll be honest, our interview goes all over the place….we talk about her fascinating story, how she went from fleeing her home country with her family at a very young age, to the living in the Twin Cities, to becoming a teacher, to listening to the very persistent voice in her head that said...HEY LADY, there’s something more you’re supposed to do.

We talk about:
-How Jebeh knew so many years ago that this big side hustle was happening, no matter what.
-How she came up to me 6 years ago and said...I’ll be calling you someday.
-What it looked like for her to literally BUILD HER BUSINESS DURING COVID...like, the deep, dark, awful days of Covid. Jeb and I were making lemonade out of lemons at the local coffee shop!!!

Ever feel a little alone...like there aren’t a whole lot of people that get you? Creatives often work alone, and sometimes, get lonely. If that’s you...I’m with ya.

In this episode we talk about your awesome creative brain. You might call it your creative heart, creative soul, creative spirit but I will refer to it today as your creative brain...and WHY I THINK IT’S AWESOME!
