O.M.G. Welcome to the very first episode of 88 CUPS OF TEA! Ahh! I’m so beyond excited to share this episode with you. We have the intelligent, beautiful, kick-ass supermom, and friend Katie Wech as the debut guest. Katie and I met on her Disney feature film she wrote called PROM. It’s been an honor working with her and it’s brought me tremendous joy to see her continue on successfully with her career. Katie gives insightful and honest responses in her episode and I admire her candidness in baring it all.
“You can not let the world divorce you from your passions.”
“Life is long, the world is a big place & you’re not necessarily at the center of it, but that’s actually a good thing.”
