Summary

Is it possible for me to be any more in love with Tanya Geisler than I am? No. No it is not. 

I was thrilled to be able to interview Tanya for this week's show. In the interview, we talk about Tanya's work with the think that I think is the biggest threat to creative women: the Imposter Complex. And the conversation is so good! This stuff is crazy important and I am so grateful to Tanya for speaking about it in such a true and encouraging way.
