Thank you so much for coming out on Saturday and for learning with me – I learned a lot from all of you, and I hope the workshop was helpful. Please do contact me any time and I will do my best to get back to you with support!!
Below are the Follow-Up Resources I said I would get back to you with! (And for anyone just reading- this lists some of the things we covered or specific questions that were asked about during the workshop)
