  • My Personal Boutique Bestie

    I’ve been listening to the boutique chat even before I opened my boutique and it has felt like a personal boutique bestie. Every episode leaves me with takeaways that I can implement in my own business. Plus episodes are short and sweet and it’s an easy listen in the car or when I’m prepping to open the store in the morning.
