Have you ever met someone in person who you knew online? But when you met them in person,

you're like, oh, man, that person is authentically themselves. Like, they're as true as they are

in person as they are online. Well, that was my experience when I met Fabdi, Deanna Maynard Goodman.

She is an incredible personality, live seller, business owner, boutique owner, and has a heart

for serving other women, truly has a heart for serving other women.

And not only that, but she's overcome some incredible adversity in her time.

So I jumped at the opportunity to invite her to the podcast.

So not only could you hear her story of just her mission and her why and

how she helps others and why she gets up every day, I think that's like the real meaning

to business, right, is your, your dollars will follow your passion and your purpose,

but also to hear just the opportunity that you have to overcome some major adversity in your life and in your

business and to allow that to make you even stronger than you were before. So I couldn't be

more excited than to have Fabdi on the podcast today. I know you're going to love this interview

as much as I did. So let's get started.

Business can be a lonely game, but it doesn't have to be.

Welcome to Boutique Chat, where we explore community over competition and how to scale your company with the balance and the happiness that we all seek.

We'll hear from product-based businesses of all types,

retailers, e-commerce, and wholesale brands, along with industry experts shaping the future of our industry.

I'm your host, Ashley Alderson from the boutique hub, and I can't wait to chat.

Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast this week.

I have been looking forward to this interview since I think you and I ran into each other in Nashville and Magic and first started to talk about this. Is that right?

That is right. Yes. So thank you so much for having me on today.
